Yeah, it seems like the only two arguments console fans have is that you need a $400 card to play new pc titles, which of course is utter BS; I haven't met a game yet my 4600 couldn't handle in what I consider acceptable resolution/settings/framerate (much higher than consoles, I'll tell you that). - and game availability. This I'll agree with; it's really the only conceivable reason to buy one of these things, and it's unfortunate that so many game makers, for whatever rea$on$ *cough*, choose not to make their titles available on the PC :disgust:

Oh boo hoo, is poor PC boy bitchy about the console games not available on PC? There are so many games available on PC that arent available for consoles *co$$$$$ugh* :roll:

Aw, teenie-tantrum, how cute! 😛

And it sure is upsetting, it's like having a car and being told that to drive on certain roads you have to buy a second, slower, crappier car.

My point is it's just the same for console owners - each one has their "exclusive" games and there's some games that are multiplatformed. There's zero difference.

I'm glad I own a XBox - 3 bad ass FPS' in half a year - Doom 3, Halo 2, and HL2 🙂 If The Chronicles of Riddick had multiplayer I'd add that in too, b/c that's supposedly very good.

Not to knock on yea, RB. But if I recall correctly the Xbox has the video rendering device equivelant to an overclocked GF4 Ti4600. (...if thats what you were inferring about the GF2 comment)

I just checked - it's actually a tweaked GF3.
