"X-box, is it just a slimmed down PC????? Post ur ideas here!!"

X-box, is it just a slimmed down PC????? In my opinion the X-box is just a slimmed down PC, as if you own the newest graphic cards e.t.c. and down load an emulator you can easilly play X-box games for virtually free, AND do everything else a PC does do!!!!

People probably just thought X-Box is a PC because it has specifications as good as midrange PC's - so the hardware can be programmed to produce some stunning titles. As seen by the launch line up, and titles from other consoles dramitaclly improved.

now that i agree with :D

people have been dissing the xbox calling it a pc but now they've been prooved wrong :)

Right then...

NO, the XBox is not a slimlined "PC in a box". Yes, it is made from PC components, but that does not make it a PC.

If you want to call XBox a PC, lets look at the core components:

- GPU
- CPU
- Sound chip
- Memory
- DVD drive
- Data Storage (either memory card or HD (HD coming to PS2 soon))

OK then, so that makes the PS2 and the Gamecube a PC in a box too, right? Wrong.

The XBox is a thoroughbred games console, just like the PS2 and Gamecube - well, Gamecube anyway ;o)

Well we get so many rabid Nintendo Gamecube fans on here making such stupid claims about the Xbox that its hard to tell whose being sarcastic anymore......

Do you always have to put a ;) on a wink to show sarcasm? Use your eyes people!
