xbox has an emphasis on power, but they also provide the tools and help for usign that power in creating games for the xbox, unlike Playstation, which is as competitive in terms of technology as xbox is, but unlike xbox, playstation technology isn't as accessible nor easily programmable xbox, due to playstations lack of tools in their initial launching of past and probably future console systems.

but f*ck consoles, pcs are the future of gaming, and you know it.

Yes, and it will only cost about 10 grand to get that top of the line gaming rig. And then when PC speeds double in 18 months (which they always do) you have to spend 10 grand on another.

no you don't.

and you don't even have to have the top rig to enjoy the best pc games. hl2 can run on a 486 (the hl2 spokesman said so).

also, the top rigs don't usually require more than 5k if you really want to have the newest specs.

your usage of hyperbole is the suxxors.

I don't believe you. Link me to a page that says HL2 runs on a 486. Especially when you only get 30 FPS with a P4 2.8 GHz with a 9600 pro.

Thank you for the endless pages of links about the "Will this run on my 486?" joke.
