xbox, is it worth it?

u are correct my friend apart from they don't need to pull down there pants they are just one big omniscient asshole floating around in space trying to play god with peoples pc's. but as long as u believe in the power of self and to not be stupid we can win.
and they are putting it on every thing even computers they know it won't run on so u go back to the shop and have to buy more components like ram.it was designed so that people have to upgrade. i always say custome build but if u have to buy out of shops when u get home take off vista and put xp on or if u want vista befor u leave the shop with a hunk of shit take it to the shop tech and demand
"intall as much ram as it can take bitch"
and then u might have a fighting chance. but xp will be best untill nothing is compatable. or another option for the more expienced pc users have both os's on ur hdd and choose on start up then depending on what ur doing u can choose the os u want.

Dell do offer XP as an alternative. Myself, I dislike both XP and hate Vista; my OS of choice is Windows Server 2003 Enterprise.

Not to be rude or abraisive, but it's not all that hard to remove an OS from your computer (or even dual boot for that matter). I find it strange that people can consistently bash vista without providing much info to back their argument. Sure Vista may not be compatible with everything, but that's something that's only to be expected with a new OS, completed or not. As far as system specs, If you don't feel like expending the RAM to run vista, don't get vista. Ask for a downgrade. Better yet, build your own computer and skip the middleman. Reinstall that copy of XP you have lying in a box somewhere, try Linux, do something. Just don't use a commonplace approach to a technical situation. Insults don't solve problems. And ultra, the Xbox 360 is great, mine has only crapped out on me once, and M$ was very courteous and prompt on getting it back to me (It only took a week).

Considering how old this topic is, I'm pretty sure he made his decision quite awhile ago.Really though, its been over a year since it came out and XP still outperforms it. That's not much of an incentive to 'upgrade' your PC to Vista.

Yeah, I failed on the dates. Didn't see em until after I posted. Go Failure!

equitypeteynot realy the only games that were any good on the xbox only where the halo's and fable which are all on pc now.
yes you need vista for halo 2. i don't like vista personaly not cause it sucks but cause i got my pc exactly how i like it now. it only gets super bad reviews (vista sucks) buy retards who don't know much about pc's. microsoft never make anything for the user they make it for them to make money u need a very high spec for it to run fast basicly u need dual core a large ghz one and ram is the key. when u buy a pc out the shops they never give u enough ram u need 1gb just to get the thing going 2gb to run smooth and 4 to run at speed.
xbox=microfoft=not that good
yes the 360 looks fancy now but what people foget is it is still on dvd. ok its dvd9 but it still means the games are limited because its got about 3-4 years befor it is shadowed by everything.
people slate the ps3 at the mo but what people forget is that the games at the mo are lacking cause game developers are spending time to develop the games xbox rushed in making good games for now but just wait in 5 years ps3 will dominate cause it runs on blu-ray's they have 25gb single 50gb duel of space to put games on which means longer game play better graphics. ok ps3 is not so great for the modding comunity but someone will crack soon.
pc will always be the best as its always upgadeable as long as u keep up with with the new tech its all good.
but for me ps2 will always have a place in my heart it is great u can pick one up for nothing u don't need to chip it just get swap magic and as long as u remeber to use -r's it works great. wide range of games to suit any gamer and they are still producing games for it so if ur a hardcore gamer that does not have the cash to aford a new gen or a high spec pc its the best choice and the graphics ain't faw of the new gens at the mo.

BAH! dont listen to that junk, The xbox and the 360 aren't worth getting for halo and such, there are much better,underrated games that are overlooked that makes it worth getting. And as for the 360, get one. I just got myself a PS3 and I prefer the 360 over it any day. Played the PS3 for 2days and im sick of it, so now its unplugged to make way for the 360. And no its not the games. I have COD4 for both and I definately prefer the 360. Though thats just me.and meh at only being DVD9, in my opinion giving people a limited space to jam a game onto makes them focus more on gameplay than the GFX. All you ever hear about the PS3 is 'oh but the graphics are way better than the 360' pffft so what. I mean just looks at what nintendo does with the DS carts (128MB as far as I know).

i don't realy care about this argument any longer, it was so long ago. i still think in a few years time the ps3 will own but the development will take a long time. but then again i'm not going to get one and i don't want one, i have been converted to PC and playing crysis on my mates pc i know a console will never catch up quick enough.
i still think that the 360 does not have a long enough life span that it could of had if they spent a bit longer developing it, but having been lent a flashed one the other day i will say they are pretty damn good at the moment altho to many fps and seeing as its easy to flash and about 8x cheaper then the pc i want it will make a nice stop gap till more money comes my way
