Can PC do HD gaming yet?

Xbox360 and PS3 come HD ready with no hassle, but how come we never hear of PC doing 1080p or even 720 or 480 anything?wok7

No man they use punch cards, just don't lose the order of the cards or you will have to re-index them, and 10,000 punch cards take along time to sort.

Oh noes not the tapes!

It would take anywhere from 5-10mins to load some games, only for it to crash! Even worse was when the tape loader would shred a tape! Argh!!!!!!

This is too funny!:P

Yup, those crashes were the worst. Luckily the game was copied as well on the alternative side of the tape, so after it had played all the way through, it was ready to just be turned around and played again. I wonder how many cassette tapes it would take to put oblivion on?drewtwo99

Oblivion on tape, god help us!

I remeber Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga came on 22 floppy disks, or was it 11, it was some crazy number anyway!

Not to take his/her side but there are people out there who would think in that way; just as a lot of people believe standard DVDs are in High Definition.  Or that any flat screen is an HDTV; i've run into all types.

I imagine the TC will be creating a new account after this one though.

FEAR came on 6 cd's
so are many other pc games. Silent hill 3 came on 5 cdsquocthai

I didn't know FEAR even came on CD, in the UK anyway all ive ever seen is DVD versions. The last game i bought which came on CD's was Doom 3, which came on 3.

Least it shows PC's don't need Blu-ray or HD DVD because of installing to the HDD.

Agree'd, PC's are just far too annoying to deal with for gaming. Especially since the graphic card you'd need to buy each month to keep up with console gaming costs twice as much as the consoles itself.wok7

From another thread. Really, the TC is just looking for ways to bash PC gaming.
