my friends bought an xbox pack, which included halo, for 220 quid, primarily so he could play HALO, which comes out in PC soon, of which he has a good one (mine's better :D).
he's 17 or 18, can't remember, but he's older than me, but he also says it's good to have a console anyway, because of split screen stuff.

the boy has more money than sense, no?

Not helped by developers with no brains doing the coding for the games in the first place, in many cases.

Raven Shield = sponsored by ATI. What make has the problems with the game ? Oh, ATI....

I don't think it's stupid at all. PC gaming requires allot of patients which can be a put off for many people, so your friend may not be willing to give up the amount of time it requires to be a hardened PC Gamer.

Plus, by buying an X-Box he also gets to choose from a vast variety of both PC and console games. I have two consoles myself on top of my PC mainly because I can get games on consoles I can't get on the PC, and vice versa.

Maybe he just cannot be bothered with PC Gaming ? Out of 8 games I've had for this new PC 4 have required patching/fiddling with, to run as they should and that required a good few hours looking for solutions, in fact my Angel of Darkness problem was only solved by coming across a post on some obscure american forum.

HALO is great, but i think that he could wait for the improved PC version. besides, to me it didn't looks like the box performed as well as i would have thought. maybe it was due to splitscreen...
