I only use my PC for internet, e-mail, programming, word processing, storing data, ect. I leave it to my DVD player to play movies and my gaming consoles to play games.

Windows XP sucks when it comes to DVD playback because sometimes the picture will flicker or the playback software will crash. Linux plays back DVDs with fewer problems but I still prefer to use my DVD player. When it comes to games on PC there are so many factors relating to hardware, but when it comes to gaming consoles you already have the exact hardware the game was designed for.

"what do you want for the price?"

I just want a gaming console. Nothing more nothing less.

Oh crap I should have keep my mounth closed... Here we go with the linux thing again...

hey you are right for once! most my games require Win 98, a 500 mhz processor, and 32 mgs ram except Quake 3... you need to try that game then you will realize console games suck in comparision.

So what if I brought up Linux. I was just giving you my PC DVD playback experience and Linux was part of the story.

PC game developers have to think about all kinds of different hardware out there to try to create games that will work for most people. Hardware incompatibility, bad drivers, ect are not something people want to have to go through. Console game developers only have to think about one set of hardware or in the case of releasing a game for all three systems, they only have to think about three sets of hardware. The game you buy for your console was designed for exactly the hardware you have so there are no compatability issues to deal with.

nevvvvvvvvver had that happen, but I play games like red alert 2 and beach head and monopoly... never had to dwnld any drivers or anything...

I was exagerating a bit. The point is that getting a game to work on your computer if it will even work at all can be a hassle.

I have never had anay hassles. I simply put the cd rom in and play.

I love Nintendo stuff, never really look for X-Box, and only wanted PlayStation2 for Final Fantasy but if there was more games of my style I would probably enjoy them as well. There is no system that really suck, each of them have their own qualities and they are mostly great because they are different in their similarities. Each users will find the right one for his taste and what is great is you have choice so now guys stop complaints of having choice

When you get a new PC game you have to install it then configure it before you start playing it. When you get a new console game, you just plug it in and play.

Well i did not mean to make Tech Cat mad or what not. I hope he enjoyed this debate. If he likes game cube and linux, so be it.

No hard feelings Tech.

Still Friends?

Okay Kona enough Gamecube sucks statements and enough hating. If Gamecube is not your preference fine, but don't criticize me for my preferences.

Funny with your double standards.

Yes and you exaggerate here. You do not sound like you speak from experience.

How bout the fact that consoles are outdated in a little bit? How bout the fact pcs can only handle the lastest and greatest games and are dumbed down for consoles? For the record, I for one prefer consoles for playin games.

And I do not hate your prefenrences... I just don't like Gamecube. But I will give it a try!

What double standard? I didn't say "oh by the way XBOX sucks!" or anything like that after my last statement.

Ok you three, break it up. Don't make me sit you all in the corner wearing the dunce cap. I swear, I'll do it. I will. No, really...I will.

I'm through, it's time for DJ to quit.

You tryin to say something? just kidding of course.

#166 by Tech Cat - 7/20/2003 9:07:48 PM What double standard?

Hating?

You blindly criticize the features of one console while trying to justify their uselessness because of your biased opinion of another console which lacks them.

Quit it Kona and DJ >
