"PC games are for rich and stupid."

After just reading the spec from Gta VC on the PC, I had to laugh at the sort of power you need to run this game. 800mhz PC with 32mb graphics card. My laptop which is only 2 years old the same as my PS2 I might add has 700mhz and 16mb graphics card would not be able to run this game at optimum performance and we all know the consequences of that. Missing scenery less objects and slowdown problems, all qualities stupid PC gamers love in there games so I say carry on I will stick to my clapped out old PS2 which will play the game properly because it was designed too.

Plus, if it wasn't for my beloved PC, I wouldn't have been able to win lots of GAD's, so in the end, as far as i'm concerned, the PC's partly paid for itself in that respect.

I'm not particularly rich, and nor do I think i'm stupid, yet I own a PC and enjoy great games and all the other benefits that PCs bring, and I also enjoy console gaming.

Upgrading PCs costs money, yet if it means the games run better, then I don't mind doing it every so often, and playing games you can't get on a console like Mafia, Soldier of Fortune 2, IGI, The Sims and Sim City is a benefit, plus online gaming is widespread.

PC's can be used for so many great things, things that consoles can't do; my brother uses the PC for artwork on Photoshop, everyone surfs the net, listens to music, download stuff etc, so what's wrong with that?

It baffles me as to why Top Score is so against PCs?? *shrugs*

So the personal computer was supposed to empower people. Well, it does, but only if you afford it.

Mr Blair says he wants all Schools, GP's, and similar services on broadband. That's a fine idea, but does he know that many such buildings will be in non-broadband area's. Like the 3 or 4 Schools and GP's surgery in my town. You can't just "wire them upto to broadband" because there is no broadband here!

Perhaps, anywhere with a School, or GP's surgery will now get broadband installed. That means that everyone in that area will get it as well - even if the area was not previously on the "upgrade" list!

I'm rich and stupid.

wow that is a real bargin you can buy 4 ps2, nearly 5 Xboxes and 5 gamecubes for that sounds like a real bargin??????

Then again that's what the PC market is all about making sure people weak of mind keep thinking they need to upgrade, because the latest chip and Operating systems are so much better than the last one Yeh Right.

Top Score arguing is like a fly keep bashing into a window; has no idea, never learns anything and just keeps coming back for more.

Well done Insane Hypocrite said like a true PC gaming geek, you have been spouting on about how superior PC games are in terms of graphics and display resolution and now you're saying that doesn't matter. You really want to have a clear idea of what you are going to say before making yourself look like an idio
