"Nintendo DS Vs. X-box 360"

It is safe to say I am REALLY looking forward to Zelda and Pokemon XD this year (and Geist to a smaller but otherwise essential degree), 2 Christmas treats.

But as a Christmas present I WAS planning on getting a Nintendo DS. Already there are some games I'd like, Pac-Pix, Mario 64 DS, Wario Ware, Touch! Kirby and Yoshi's Touch and Go. But the Christmas line up looks immense. Nintendogs appears a good laugh, Snowboard Kids is back and I am truly looking forward to Goeman. Don't get me started on Mario and Luigi 2 (Dances) and Metroid Prime. It is also online and I have wi-fi (yay).

I have no intention on getting a PSP (even if I do love Medievil) but Microsoft's new system looks the nuts!

A few good games at E3 could easily sway me.

So what do you think?

You take the printer, and the WP software away from a PC and ... it won't print my word document!

Well, must be a console then.

and a PC packaged as a console isn't a PC, I never said it was, I said it was a PC in console form which makes it a console but with the elements of a PC. We're not arguing about anything here. I never said the Xbox 360 was identical to a PC. Stop trying to argue with something that was never said.

Hello, anyone in there?


A PC packaged as a console becomes a console, does it not? That is what I am saying. Good work on not understanding the simple concept.

Both things are not correct.

It's a console NOT a PC.

congratulations on understanding my exact points. It isn't a PC, no, it is a console, obviously. It's just a console that has the same elements as a PC, ergo a PC packaged as a console.

Oh, so this whole issue was over what words you use to describe it.
Good work, team. Real smooth.

Although a console is basically a stripped-down PC - that's where all the technology comes from. It is a standardised PC, which is a console, so both terms are one and the same thing.

Hooray.

It still won't print my word document.

It's a console.

hence it is "like" a PC.
Let's go RIGHT BACK to the very start again here:

"the description of the 360 makes it sound like a PC"

Urg you just don't get it, do you?

The xbox 360 does the same things as a PC but is packaged as a console. End.
