It has happened. After four years of stopping myself, I've done it.

I've purchased an XBox. And Halo.

I always vowed that I would remain a loyal PC gamer, but as all of the graphics cards once considered decent become a joke and the major corporations ( I'm looking at you, Microsoft ) create new ways to suck money from us, I've turned to the console. I know that XBox is already becoming obsolete, and that computers pwn at FPS games, but I couldn't help myself.

It's just becoming too expensive to maintain a gaming PC.

Opinions?

No. Sell your XBOX and get a Radeom X1300. It's $70 at Newegg! It's not bad.

I am a loyal PC gamer and yet I have an xbox 360 and I will say it. IT PWNS. Theres nothing to be ashamed of. PCs will always pwn consoles but that doesn't mean consoles serve NO purpose whatsoever. I have mastered every developer's console. N64, PS2, 360, and now I have the best of all...Dell Inspiron e1505.

I am a PC gamer AND a console gamer and I AM PROUD!

So you fought back by buying an over-priced, under-powered computer that only plays one type of disc, and the majority of the profit goes to the major corporation?

Microsoft is looking back at you and smiling.

...Creepy.

Yeah, I suppose it is rather odd striking against Microsoft by buying an XBox, considering that aforementioned corporation made that console.

As for the Radeon X1300, it's only 20 dollars less than what I payed for my used XBox, and it would cost me a -blam!- load of money to upgrade all of my other components sufficiently to play games like Halo 2 next year. And I'm not really considering paying 400 dollars just to get the OS, and then another couple thousand to get a good gaming PC. No thanks.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time. I know who you are. You are destiny.

I hope it's not $2,000. For the sake of teh wurld. :P

Anyway, Halo plays fine on the XBox, great in fact. Very smooth. I suppose after using a GeForce FX 5500, anything seems better. I'm just glad that I don't have to worry about compatibility with my system.

But this doesn't mean that I'll stop playing Halo PC. The community is awesome. And I love the Maw, so I'll still remain loyal to the PC version.

No, that would make you neurotic and in need of professional help.

I wonder if the Wolf thinks the Moon listens when he howls at it.

"Lost another one to Ditech!" and btw the commodore 64 and N64 suck. jsut because they are old doesnt mean they are worth collecting (with the exception of transformers action figures).

I fail to see how one would say that the Nintendo 64 'suck[s]'.

Of course, I suppose you didn't play any of the great games, or you were too young and immature to play greats like GoldenEye, Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Banjo Kazooie.

I have an N64 with about 24 games, 6 controlers in differing condition and 3 rumble paks. Why, you ask? Because I have nothing else. My PC is NOT what you would call a 'gaming machine'. It suxxorz. 512 ram, pent4 2.8gHz that effectively runs at 1gHz, so many crappy programs the Windows barely runs and, oh yeah, Win2000.

scratch the n64 and the dreamcast and id say you have some good systems. well the dreamcast especially was afailure but the n64 it ran on hype. the ps was better then n64 but the again the n64 could have been a lil better just maybe better games.

wut i really meant to say was that the 64 was a leap for Nintendo it was their first 3d system. and the vboy didnt do too well.
