Quote:Something else you may want to consider before you badmouth is that game disks come from the factory defective as well.Considering I've never had that problem with PC, PSX, PS2 or any other console I've played whatsoever (disc or cartridge), I'd consider that a pretty lame excuse for trying to save the XBox. It's also funny that you try that excuse when the XBox choked on so many different games from different developers/publishers.
Quote:Id say that the hardware of the day couldnt handle HALO as BUNGIE wanted it to look. So they released on a specialized platform and waited till PCs caught up...which they have.
Do you even know what is in that console?
733 Mhz Intel processor. My computer had a superior architecture 1.4Ghz AMD before XBox came out.
A graphics card, 250Mhz, that is a enhanced GeForce3.
64MB RAM. Alright, it may not have much overhead but somehow I doubt that equaled the 256MB RAM and 32MB Video RAM I had when the system came out. (Which has since more than tripled)
Ethernet - had it.
Hard Drive - had a bigger one.
So tell me, where and when was the XBox ever superior to PC?
The reason Microsoft stripped Halo from the PC was because they wanted people to buy their XBox. Not because the PC was 'inferior' in some way. It is a selling point, nothing more. Bungie itself wanted Halo on PC, and it's only through their arguing with Microsoft that it's finally coming out for PC. That and, of course, the fact that Halo 2 is already in developement.
Trade yourself in for the perfect one. No one needs to know that you feel you've been ruined!
