"What's the differance?"

Can someone PLEASE tell me what the differance is between an XBOX and a PC? Please tell me all the differances you can think of cause I can't think of any!

Same Games

Same Graphics (With the right card)

Same everything...

Sorry ÂLŠ†ÂÎR I was reffering to the Nintendo games. I realise there are always going to be exceptions, but on the whole I find the gamecube gamaes to be more cheerful.

Gamecube is always bright? Erm...

*Check collection*

Metroid Prime
Resident Evil
Eternal Darkness
Def Jam Vendetta
Star Wars Rogue Leader 2

Xbox I find is better for exercise. Best weight training out there if you have to carry it around in a bag for 6 hours.

I think its probably too early to tell. The X-BOx hasn't got very many of the kind of games that I like, but I think it has the most potential of all the consoles.

The PS2 obviously has loads of choice of games because its been out longest, but you can notice the inferior graphics which although I know it shouldn't, does make a difference to me.

The Gamecube is very different from either of the others. The games are all very bright and well designed, but they don't cover all of the genres that I like.

I like owning them all as they each have something to offer, but if forced to pick I would probably have to go with the PS2, simply for the verity of games on offer for housing my favorite seris of all time Final Fanatsy, and for being the only console that I can use to exercise.

Calm down girl I was joking around.

So then. Pick a favourite.

Yeah, I've got A PS2, a GC, an X-Box and a GBA, all of which I play on, I feel that entitles me to post in any of the corrisponding forums. I haven't changed my habits just because I became a notable.

Nah she's got an Xbox, I seem to remember for DOA : Beachball game.

I think shes going through some "I have resposibility" phase where she feels she has to post in all the forums after winning the recent election. ;-)

I'll agree that the Xbox has a lot in common with the PC, probably the main reason I bought it was because I had computer style games but I hate playing with a mouse and keyboard (except for strategy games) and have a lacklustre system (which I can't be arsed to buy a controller for and upgrade). Thus, I can play games such as Deus Ex 2, Doom 3, Knights Of The Old Republic, Galaxies, Halo and many others without the niggles of playing them on a PC. Better control setup, no specification worries - see?

Of course, there are a fair few Xbox that AREN'T PC style, which is why I added in that 'multiplied by Dreamcast' comment. Jet Set Radio Future, racing games, platform games (even though the Xbox hasn't got a decent platformer and won't do for some time) and others won't be seen on PC. You're therefore getting PC style games, minus stregic ones but plus a fair few console ones (most of these, are developed by Sega and similar to those on Dreamcast).

Besides - do you word process, image edit, surf the internet, send e-mails, install games, are at risk from viruses or manage files and the like on your Xbox? Didn't think so. Personally, if I enjoyed PC gaming I would never have bought an Xbox - for I'd be content with a GameCube, PS2 and, of course, PC. But that's my opinion. It's a fact that there's more to the Xbox than it's PC likenesses, the reason I bought mine is irrelevant to this.
