LOL "WE?"
Fanboys...when will they learn?
:-) Hoping to see some Command & Conquer games come to the X-Box as well as many other PC titles.
I'm really planning the ultimate set up gradually. ;-))

Cause one - my PC is too cack to run most half recent games properly and two - I want a version I can play without the fear of it crashing after doing a lot of progress on it.
I'm just not a big fan of PC games, had too many experiences of watching games crash. I love some of the games that come out, I just don't like the PC very much.
As for the online thing, Nintendo might be playing caution but thats what they did when Sony was working with them. They refused to change from cartridges, so Sony pretty much said "sod you then" and went their own way. I think we both agree that this came back to kick Nintendo right in the teeth because Sony have such a strong position now when originally, they were working with Nintendo.
Although online gaming isn't thought of as massively important right now, what if Microsoft have really found the next big thing ? Afterall, they're not stupid, even the people who hate the company's guts will admit that. Sony took a chance with disks and also grabbed a new audience of gamers, if Microsoft pull this off, whats to stop them getting in a similar situation to what Sony has now ? Nintendo will end up playing catch up again and it could be a real fatal blow for them.
Sony have online plans but they don't extend to the same amount of ambition as Microsoft's. If not for Sega, Nintendo wouldn't have even added the chance for online play.
I think a lot of companies are aware of how big this area can become, its a matter of who has the guts to take the initiative and do it right. Nintendo can make games as I've said before, but when it comes to change, they don't like to take risks. This has been their downfall before and it could well happen again.
Cyclone are you going to bother reading it after stiring up so much of a fuss?
