This thread has been linked to the game 'Splinter Cell'.
Microsoft have decided to change the look of the XBox - to some thing a bit more "normal & smaller". Wow! What a great idea - now we know the speed of thought at Microsoft....When it first launched, MS insisted the hardware had to be that size, and lots of XBox fans defended it and would not accept the idea that XBox could be smaller. Well at the E3 event, the restyled/smaller XBox will prove that wrong once and for all.
Splinter Cell nears it's PS2 and GC release. Turns out Splinter Cell has been in "multi-format" development for some time (while it was pushed as an XBox only game), and as a result the PS2 release will have more features than the original XBox version.

The stuff downloadable from X-box live is different from the extras in the PS2 game which is different from the extras in the Gamecube game.
X-box has the better graphics but the Gamecube has special effects like motion blur not used in the other games. It also features extra levels like the PS2 and downloadable X-box extras.
The Gamecube version also connects to its GBA counterpart.
I can only really talk about the Cube version of course as thats the only one I've researched.

I don't like Linux. My Linux PC doesn't work.
Some people say Linux is better than Windows.
Updates as in patches are usually free for all major software. But large "upgrades" like XP2 will be a cost upgrade due to the size of the upgrade. Like PhotoShop 6 over PhotoShop 5.
My P2/400Mhz PC (128Mb Ram) could run XP - just. I think its about 50Mhz above the absolute min spec. I would certainly expect WinXP to be fairy (if not Very) slow. Certainly 128Mb would only just about start it up under XP.
Got a demo of Operation Flashpoint - and its very s l o w - like it hesitates when moving around, and driving around is even s l o w e r.

1) Of course Bill wants me to buy XP, he didn't spend several hundred million dollars putting it together so that it would sit on shop shelves gathering dust.
2) I assume Sony would rather you had kept with your PSOne, along with everyone else, so that the next generation of console sat gathering dust on the shelf next to XP?
3) XP Upgrades are free....
4) A "humble mid range PC" can handle XP just fine, in fact, my PC runs better with it than it did without.

What money? I haven't disclosed my spending profile to you or anyone else. You're making arrogant assumptions and making yourself look stupid. Again, though, we have a typo, and it should read "Bill is sitting" not seating, and I also have no idea what a "pumpet" is. And while your animosity towards Bill Gates is touching is a more than slight sarcastic sense, may I ask what operating system you are using to access this website?
