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...

When it isn't. Its a games console mate. On a PC, games are a bonus - PC's weren't made to play games, its just something that grew over time. Games I've played on PC's always seem to crash at some point which gets bloody annoying and is the reason why I play games on games consoles.

Might as well call a PC a Microwave - they both have wires and run on electricity right ?

Just because they share some titles doesn't mean they're one and the same.

In terms of power the X-Box is almost as good as the PC, but apart from that I can't make any other significant comparisons.

I'm not saying that the XBOX sucks, I'm saying that it's almost the same as a PC.

Its got this many replies because you've basically slated the XBox in the XBox forum - not rocket science is it.

Trust me, I could go into the Ninty forum with a "GC Sucks" post and get 20 times the replies if I was stupid enough to do it. Could probably still manage a better tally by doing a post like that in this forum.

At the end of the day, if you're gonna rip into a console in its forum, you're gonna get replies. Only they don't tend to be very positive and if you plan on being here for awhile chatting, then these posts don't exactly do you any favours.

Thank you Lou Role for ONE exellant differance. It would be great needing no system specifications and no install. (Someone already said that, I know)

Well for me the main difference is that I don't need to bother looking at specifications for games, no need to update equipment and it's just basically a lot more simpler to use.
