And you call yourself a PC fan? :shakes head:
The problem with you hardcore PC gamer freaks is that you can't imagine a computer is any good unless it can pump out 100 FPS (40 more than you can perceive, btw), load Quake3, Homeworld 2, AND Halo in three seconds flat (at the same time!), or if it doesn't score 3000 points (or some bullshit) on one of those silly benchmark programs. There IS more to a computer than that (and if you truely were into the Commodore 64/128, you'd understand that games are the LAST thing a computer's built for).
I like consoles more than computers because I don't have to fuck with a game for 3 hours to get it to run opimally and look smooth. With a computer, I have to. That, and my XBox and PS2 works with many games on the market out of the box for years to come, while buying the new 400 dollar video card will yield frustrating results two months later as I find I need to upgrade it to play "Bells and Whistles: Kill the Donkeys Part III". That, and I use my computer primarily for more constructive purposes, like burning CD/DVDs, programming (and compiling that source code), and downloading porn (hey, I'm honest). All of this would be impeded if I played those resource-hungry games, as I'd likely have to stop EVERYTHING just to play the next gore fest (which, lets face it, if you're paying attention to actually playing a game and not dissecting its graphics, audio, or behaviorial realism, looks just as good on the XBox as the PC).
Take THAT, wasteful fanboy.
