Can you run games on it?
Do you take care of your computer? I am able to keep my computers running perfectly for years.
- Even if you take care of your computer space gets taken up, hardware and software get outdated.You can uninstall the programs, freeing up space, software is able to be upgraded and you
But yet, companies force you to buy new ones because they decide to stop making games for the system
- All three game company's said they will only expand apon the consoles out now, and we can only expect new ones in 2012.Wouldn't that make it better?
- No, it wouldn't.Why?
Therefore proving how limited they are.
- Limited to good old household fun?Yeah, because I would rather pay 400 dollars to get ANOTHER system so I can play video games and just leave the older system to gather dust.
- Every 5 - 7 years?
It would still be just gathering dust and even if you choose to play the older games from time to time.
Again, it sucks when you need to spend 400 dollars to buy a whole "next-gen" system when it's going to become outdated in a couple of years.
- Again, it's not a "couple" of years more like 4 - 7 and that's cheaper tan 200 dollars every 5 - 6 months.
They are capable of surpassing the graphics of a console and do more
- So you are against expanding, but you don't like new consoles?
I said I'm against expanding?
Spending at least 200 dollars on each system to get all the games which are also 50 dollars seems a lot to me. Computers may cost a lot, but they get most of the games which are released for consoles.
- Spending 2000 dollars on a new computer and 50 dollars each game.
You can have the computers for longer.
- Only about 40% of games on consoles are on computers.
In addition to the PC exclusive games.
What does that have to do with anything? Maybe people prefer to use a keyboard and mouse.
- Majority of people don't.
And where do these numbers come from?
All games? Oh joy, I can play Metal Gear Solid 4 with my Xbox 360!
- Oh joy, I can go play Call Of Duty 4 on my Mac!
So? It happens with consoles too, things can get broken, a console uses parts of a computer to run.
- At least I have a warranty, and cheap ways to fix it.
PCs have warranties too, same here with cheap ways, at least we don't have to completely replace the whole computer if something goes wrong.
One sided views for the win!
- Look who's talking.
I've never said that consoles were the most horrible thing to play games on,
Microsoft forces you to pay money for Xbox live. In addition, its still hard to get on the internet through consoles
- No harder than a computer, I don't mind at all to pay money to play online. And, just Xbox360 makes you pay.
YOU don't mind to pay, but its always free on the computer.
Games that you buy don't give you viruses, and most of those give you the option if you want to install. I've never seen a game that's made me install Gamespy, and Steam games automatically give you a shortcut and you will never have to see Steam again.
- It's not that games give you viruses, just everything else.
What does then, I have yet to play a video game on my computer that gives me a virus.
Oh yeah, because you know 15 dollars for Xbox live, getting an internet jack, plugging it into the console, and connecting it into your existing internet connection, which you also pay for is just nothing.
- I still need a ethernet cord to plug in my computer.
A cord, compared to the other stuff you need for an Xbox
On computers, the option to play online COMES with the game, you just have to have an open internet connection to your computer, and bam, multiplayer.
- Same with most consoles.
So both PCs and Consoles get it, all the more power to the both of us.
The computer usually gets and if not, eventually the same games consoles do.
- It took 5 years for Halo 2 to come to computers.
"Eventually" We still got it.[/]
Oh look, eight new replies....
Chickan's does make sense.
Haha Addy.
And Whoop, yay for arguing.
Lol Omega. We argue when we like :P
Ahh, it, disregard everything I said above.
