ok ok i know what everyone in the world should do....tell Microsoft to get developers to develop RTS games for Xbox then come out with a usb or bluetooth keyboard and mouse(so people can play the rts games the way they are ment to be played). Put the xbox on a monitor with component input and switch from gaming rig to net surfing computer. I know computers are good for other things too that need gpu's but for gaming the prices are rediculous no one should pay 600 bucks for something that is old in half a year. With a next gen console like the ps3 and 360 they should be around for a while, At least I hope :) Why cant they just make things simpler and develop games for consoles only its just too bad everything works in an economic way... I am sure they have the ability and smarts to come out with something far supperior than the gpu's out now but just deploy new somewhat better ones every 6 months or so, so that they make crazy money off everyone. Why not go all out with technology for once and just nail it and not give us any excuses just deliver something that will blow everything away please make it worth the 600-700 bucks...
