| 183148 | 2003-10-15 10:42:00 | It is nice to hear that an xbox can do such a thing . But I think, we I already have a PC, do we need another in the lounge? A Ps2 is equal I think . Now I am having 2nd thought whether I should return this . I got some games hire out, not the ones included for free, as its a bit of a drive to the city . Its really the same as the PC, the games I took out and most most if not "all" are available on Xbox, Ps2, and PC . I took out Medal of Honour (?), EA Cricket, Getaway . The pluses: Big screen in the lounge . To be away from the PC Rentals, to an extent The minus: The PC is something we have already The quality is nothing special vs today's PC Rentals - cannot be hired out too long as cost build up . Adventure/story games are esp vulnerable as 3 day rentals u won't get far . A GF-4 Ti series video card is not too much . What do u think? |

| 183150 | 2003-10-16 02:14:00 | I have not played so much PC games these days. What is someone's verdict between the Ps2/Xbox games against PC platforms?? Is the graphics better, or are they the same?? (PC monitor vs console TV) When PC tv-out is used, what is the verdict of this vs the console?? I hate returning stuff ... but if its gotta be done .... |

| 183151 | 2003-10-16 02:21:00 | A good PC spanks any and all consoles.Not just in graphics but in everyother department. Using the tv-out of a pc is terrible for games,Complety destroys the experience.If you want to have games on the tv then use a console.And enjoy crap grahics from that instead. Make note that i am biased against consoles,but i cant see any reason to have one if you have access to a game capable computer. Whack a gforce4 ti or ati 9600 in your puter then fire up Unreal2,then go look at the quality of the same sort of game running on a ps2 or Xbox.... |

| 183153 | 2003-10-16 19:10:00 | i know someone mentioned playing divx on xbox, but can you make it play svcd, but be in running for competing with magic box (linux home entertainment centre). But i guess xbob cant record tv on the fly :( | Budda (2736) | ||
