The new box will go on sale in limited quantities soon for $479 http://blogs.mercurynews.com/aei/2007/03/exclusive_microsoft_to_announce_the_xbox_360_elite.html
Not bad truefully, of course thats what i payed for my 360 becuase it came with PGR3, extra contoler, and the plug and charge kit (costco ftw)

the only thing really i can think of is splitscreen, just because, pc owners have lan games over two seprate pcs
and to really strech a console is less a hassle to carry around than a console (assuming you have a tv in the other house)
but to disprove the "no wiimote" on pc http://www.joystiq.com/2006/12/30/todays-hottest-game-video-world-of-wiimote/
and sadly we live in a illegal world we call the internet, and pc owners can get emoulators for any console. The good ones that i have messed with are for n64 although i have tired no others, and it is sorta a hassle but none the less...
umm although it is true that if you want "top of the line" pc you are going to have to spend a lot of moeny but

that shows the coss of a "gamming computer" for current gamming. Its not directx 10 compatible (the graphics card isn't) but, i run a geforce 7600 GS witch has 512mb onboard memory compared to 256mb onboard and i run couter-strike source at 1280X1024 with anti-alenzatizing x2 (sorry for the miss spell there) and still get a soild 40fps. witch you don't need anything more that 30fps because the human eye can only dectect 30fps.
Consoles and Pc's have a lot in common. The main biggest diffrences is the contolers, price and Pc can do other stuff than a console (that isn't modded)
You can't really listen to when they promise "lag free connection" because well.....it doesn't matter as much on your router more on your connection to the internet. You won't notice much lag anyway as long as your not downloading anything from another computer. It sorta all depends on how strong of a connection you have.
The only problem is that you might find just a slight speed diffrence if you have a wireless computer internet access comparied to wired access. Wired might give you a very very very very and i say very small diffrence in the speed with a faster speed than a wireless that might cause a very very very slight slowdown.
It porably won't have any major problems. Try searching on the internet for reviews and stuff
Thank you for this thread. This is now the greatest thing i've read. It just wants me to go down to my basement, and throw away my xbox 360. Man you changed my ideas compleate. (incase your a compleate thick idiot i'm using sarcasm/iorny)
And for the record, us 360 users, will never NEED the hd-dvd add on. Microsoft has said no games will ever be on it just movies. So no you bias fanboy, we don't need the hd-dvd so no its not the same price.
Advent rising (god that game sucked)
Daikatana. Yeah that was a game that was hyped AAA, and had quite possibly the worst ad compain of "john romero is about to make him your bi***" and was a massive flop
Any thing that has happend on ps3, xbox 360, or wii, hasn't flopped yet. Just becuase one website gives resistance fall of man a 8.7 doesn't mean that it flopped. People need to realize this. (btw i only bring this up becuase lemmings were all over this game claiming it flopped even though it has sold well)
System wars needs to be smarter.
