"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?

360 is a console using elements microsoft developed for PCs.

It is not a PC it is a console.

(To memo)

Problem solved.

Now we're agreed it isn't a PC it can't be a 'standardised PC'.

You can go now.

Fine if you need reassuring that you've completely missed the entire point of my argument

I'm not saying that the PC is a replacement for the Xbox 360 am I? No. So this isn't an issue AT ALL. The Xbox 360 is a PC in a box. Made by Microsoft. So yes you can port over your crappy friends list to their Live service. I never said you couldn't do that, nor did I suggest that you should not buy an Xbox 360 and get a PC instead.

Right what are you even saying? What is your point? That the PC is different to the 360 because all 360 games use the same input device. Well I've got new for you, all PC games use the same input device too. Yer. So what's your point? That you couldn't take an Xbox 360 online against a PC. No, very good, I never said you could or would, did I?


> Yeah, try converting your average playstation owner over to a PC.

Stick the PC in a small box, write PS3 on the front and give it some joypads and you've got every playstation owner on the planet playing a PC. Easy enough for you?

Your problem, my dear, is that you've completely misunderstood what I'm saying. I never said that an Xbox 360 and a PC were interchangeable, I said that the Xbox 360 was a PC packaged like a console. Which it is. I don't really know what you're arguing against, but I hope you're satisfied that I've answered your "points"

well that explains why I could never get Half Life 2 to work on my Xbox!
Thanks, it's been bugging me for months!

Answer the points!

Memo the Xbox isn't a PC.

"The Points" are having an identity crisis.
Please help.

Ah, great tactic - quote everything you've ever written, in the vague hope of rounding up 'the Points' in some form or another. And when the other person fails to notice what you didn't know you were trying to highlight, you can shout at them.

Win-win.

The old name for Snickers ain't it? :D

It appears you don't understand the points.

1) It wasn't consentual.

2) Gerrid needs medical attention.
