Still the xbox is Lots Better


The Xbox Now cost 150 # + S Controller 25.0 = 175.-

A computer now cost alike 500-1000


AngelSlayer has been packaged and dumped back in the house of stupidity because he doesn't even know what a computer is.

My comments is whoever said that deserves to be run over by a warthog.


Thank You


Your welcome, however Spartan33, you're going to have to scrape yourself off the pavement because Skippy and I don't help people who believes that parts don't mean anything. Think before you say something very stupid like that. Especially in the Halo PC forum.

Thanks for the compliment MarD.

Didnt know about the xbox 2 and no hard drive thing. Thanks for the info. How annoying that could turn out to be. It would be basically like fancy memory cards. What utter annoying -blam!-. Any way hopefully by then i'll have a new computer, which can run more up to date games, so i wont have to worry.

You cant compare the xbox and the PC, even though the xbox is essentially a computer the xbox is still a console and consoles cannot be upgraded. Also gaming PCs are far to expensive for the common man to purchase so more people play halo on xbox than on PCs. Also most pcs are working on other softwares while you are playing the game. And finally your pc is only going to be awesome until the next videocard comes out same as the xbox.

Actually, I heard you'll be able to buy a Hard-drive for it seperatlly (Plz forgive my spelling). But as for this Pc vs. xbox war yes pcs are much better in most ways. If you have the money then you don't have to worry about your games looking like crap because of having a old grapics card but a lot of people don't have the money to upgrade their pcs every 2 yrs, so the go for the poor man's gaming systems. Also they don't need to buy a seperate deal for net play (Even though with that you have to worry about some dial-up person coming in and screwing your game with tons of lag). But now for my argument for game consles. A lot of games for gameing systems have coop, while few pcs do. If you want to play with a few people at your house you don't need to buy 3 other pcs, just a few controlers. There is very rarly lag in your game (If ever). It's easier to take your game consle to a freinds house then it is to take your pc. Also, for the xbox's hard drive (Now, I don't know if this is because I got it way late in it's exsitence or what) I have taken a lot of blocks up and it still says I have 500,000+ blocks left. As for the pc, now in order for me to play a new game guess what, I have to delete something of there. Also you don't have to wait for the game to install. You just put in the disc and a few secs of loading up and your at the main screen. Also I forgot to add for pcs you can download a lot of cool stuff of the net (Though you have to worry about vireses).

Actually no. I have a ATi 9800XT which kicks ass 6 months ago, and it still kicks ass now. It's not the best card in the world any more. But it'll run any game in the world at max graphics settings (combined with good CPU and ram) and it'll probably do so for the next 6 months. I don't see how you can draw a parallel to xbox sinc it's card never was ahead of the PC card market and never will be.

Heyyo,

Heh, np Socialist.

@skippy: dude, speaking of 9800XT's, did you claim your Half Life 2 voucher? any XT video cards in the near past that dont' come with vouchers can still be claimed at ait's website. if it's still going that is...

Yes, I've read it somewhere that they're getting 1gig flashcards... which would suck to lose cause they're probably gonna be $20 each, and very small... with a PC HD, at least you don't have to worry aboot it being lost cause it's big, and tends to stay in your PC case, lol. But if they made the HD's a separate addon? jesus, M$ strikes again with their money-craving ways...

Ha ha, I'd love it if a M$ PR guy would come here n' flame us that we're wrong too, I think tha'd make my day. :)

There's only 1 ripoff with buying pre-built PC's, inna sense, it's like buying an xbox... lack of upgrading. The biggest corporations kown to do this is: Dell, and compaq. They've done it for years... and probably more years to come. Helewett Packard is probably the only good bigname pc-selling company cause their PC's are fully upgradable... the reason for this? Compaq is now their lower-end systems, cause they bought them out. I say? Compaq had it coming, selling crap PC's like they do. =D

Yeah I did claim my voucher for HL2, I already have it pre-loaded! Shame it's been delayed until 26th coz of Vivendi being money-grabbing lamers. At least I got full version of CS:Source to play now and it looks amazing and plays awesomely (new word).
