XBox2: No hard drive!

Mega-mega stores aren't really that plentyfull here. Belgium cities are a bit to small for those.

They do exist in Paris and the like., Can't stand them personally though.

Right next to the "my wallet is in the bottomless [/b] pit[/b]

In general, stuff is more expensive here too, by quite a margin aswell.

I don't get why people who are equipped with a PC will buy an X-box instead of a PS2. It is really a mystery to me

Because an X-Box is MUCH better than a PS2?

Not all of us have PCs with the latest graphics card and stuff. My PC can play GTA3 pretty well, but Ninja Gaiden with those graphics? Not a chance in Hell!

True, but the X-box is't free either, might aswell upgrade parts of your PC instead of buying a console.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Upgrading your PC isn't free either .

And upgrading a laptop is near impossible.

Hell, a decent graphic card is more expensive than a Xbox!

[alva]

It is? I have no idea what these boxes cost but a decent card (only) sets you back little more then a 100$, that the price of one console game( ok, it's slightly more)

Xbox's are dirt cheap. In Canada, they sell them for 229$ right now, with two games. And mine came with Halo. I don't think you can have a decent graphic card for that price. Of course, decency is in the eye of the beholder.

I have a four year old laptop. So there was no way for me to play games like Morrowind, Kotor, Splinter Cell, GTA 3, Halo or Ninja Gaiden. So I had a choice: either I buy a new 2000$ computer, or I buy a 200$ Xbox. Tough choice

[alva]

For me, it's not really a choice, I hardly play games anymore and the PC's real qualities are getting more important ( Office, Programming, Video, audio, etc..).

So my use for a console is next to zero.

[DrSpike]

I keep my PC relatively up to date since I use it for many different things. PC games also have more to offer me than consoles, so it doesn't bother me spending a bit more on hardware.

Spike change your name back!!!

Even if you have a kickass PC ( ), consoles complement that.

Console games play fundamentally different than PC games, even when it's a port from one to the other.
