X-box question???
Will the X-box play on a normal TV or need a PC monitor, or both????
If it only plays on a normal TV then will this mean that great HighResGames from the PC wont look as great when converted?

The question was asked because I didnt know! So can you plug a Playstation2 and Dreamcast into a High res PC monitor then!

Not directly, but you can buy a 3rd-party box-o-tricks that lets you connect PS2, Dreamcast, and
PC (yes, all three at once) into a monitor.

The point is that unless you can plug an X box, Dreamcast or PS2 into a monitor as Standard then games companies wont develop games that run on the higher resolutions of top monitors!
However Im sure the device you mention would make the graphics alot crisper!

Re. size of the Xbox isn't this just the American "Big is best" attitude versus the Japanese Bonsai consoles?
Fippin' 'eck, have you seen the size of the X-Box, you can fit 6 Gamecubes in the space of One X-Box, I couldn't believe it! It is the size of a video-player...OUCH!

BUT THE FACT IS THAT MICROSOFT ARE CALLING IT A CONSOLE, THEY ARE CALLING IT A HOME SUITE, AND IT WONT CONTAIN A SPECIAL WINDOWS LIKE THE DC, IT WILL CONTAIN A WINDOWS WITH MORE BUGS IN IT THEN A BUGDOM ON THE IMAC!! OR STARSHIP TROPPERS THE FILM. MICROSOFT's YBOX WILL CRASH AND HANG AND GIVE ILLEGAL OPERATIONS, ITS GUARANTEED TO HAPPEN!!

LOOK! The xbox is the same as every other new console in almost every way! It plays on TVs. Like the PS2 and DC it CAN play through Computer monitors with a VGA box, and like the PS2 and DC the picture will look better.

I reckon that the X-Box should be called the Y-Box!
WHY OH WHY ARE MICROSOFT DOING IT!
(I AM GOING TO KILL BILL GATES!)

The X-box won't be sold with a monitor that would be another stupid move by Microsoft.
It would just be more expensive, PC nerds can get it, but a PC monitor doesn't work aswell.

Maybe thats the plan MS have to kill off the competition... by applying a 60's Batman style death on them?!?!?!
