PS2 vs X-BOX vs PC

[seperot]

i own all 3 latest game consolse along with alot of the older stuff.....

[Androgos]

PC:
+ Easy to be modded / upgraded
+ Not made by Microsoft
+ Open for the user to do whatever he/she wants
- The games have to be programmed to support as many combos as possible, thus the kick ass 3D graphics get a hard hit
- Not made for any specific things in general, mostly a normal computer to do some calculations that varies

X-Box:
+ All games are programmed to the max for the stuff that\'s in it, thus giving good graphics on a not-so-good card and CPU
+ Small, if you compare to ATX or Hightower
+ Video out making it good for media machines
- No good Desktop PC if you don\'t hack in a keyboard
-- To unlock the real features which makes a X-Box worth the money, you have to screw it open and add chips. VERY bad

PS2:
+ Many many games
+ Same as X-Box, games trimmed to the content of the PS2
+ Very small compared to a ATX
- Chip, but not as bad as on the X-Box here
- Can\'t be used as a desktop computer
- Very old

Summary
Desktop: PC
Why?
It\'s very easy to customize to give you the specific preformance for your wallet

Console: X-Box
Why?
PS2 is very old but has a lot of games, XBox is very like a PC in hardware which makes it a very good game machine. If you chip and put in a big harddrive it can also be the multimedia center in the house

If you\'re gonna throw specs at us, at least throw us the specs for all three systems (x-..., ps2, AND GCN)... im not referring to anyone in particular, this is for anyone..
and ive noticed many people neglecting to even mension the GCN..
let the flames begin..

[Xordan]

Bleh, if you\'re throwing specs into it, I could just that that a 70teraflop supercomputer pwns everything. (which it does )

It\'s enjoyment factor which counts And I get more enjoyment out of my pc then I do a console

Screw how powerful it is, if there are no worthwhile games on the system, there is no point.

And I am still not sure how you can compare a console and a PC,  a console has set specs while everyone\'s  PC is different,  on the console everyone sees the game with the same graphics, while on a PC you can run the game at full power or tone down the graphics for a slower computer.  If you want to compare PCs and consoles then I suggest you compare AMD and Intel right next to X-Box and PS2.


And here\'s a question, what \"EXCLUSIVE\"  games are on your favorite system?

No good games? No good games?!! NO GOOD GAMES!!!!!! ARE YOU OUT OF YE MIND???!!!!?!?!?!?!

Doom3
Hitman 3
Halo
Unreal Tournament 2004
Tom Clancy\'s Splinter Cell: Pandora Tommorow
Max Payne 2
Morrowind
GTA Quadrilogy
Half Life Platinum (with trillions of addons)
Half Life 2 (soon)
Painkiller

THERE ARE INSANE AMOUNT OF GAMES FOR A PC

A PLATFORM IS JUST A LOW OUTPUT VERSION OF A PC DESIGHNED FER POOR PEOPLE!!!!!

I played GTAIII on PC and then tried it on a PS2 and it looked bad, very very bad.

[Slatz]

I honestly havent heard of half those games.. and havent played the others.. if they are only on x-... ill never play them anyway...
im perfectly content with my GCN..

Its not even in the thread title

Anyway, I\'ve never played a Gamecube before, so I dont have an opinion on that system.

As for the rest, its seems kind of pointless to group the PC with them, as both the XBOX and PS2 are not new systems anymore.  They become old technology just like a computer does.  But PC is obviously superior, it is always going to be more versatile (and more expensive )

As for the PS2 and XBOX, personally I prefer the PS2 due to the selection of games available for it.

Pc all the way... though more expensive than a... than a..... than something expensive!

lol! gamecube ownz because it has Zelda :P:P

XBox ownz too.....

come to think of it they all own

all have strengths and weaknesses...

xbox- lack of titles??!! maybe.. but hardwarewise is much more capable than teh other systems!!

[Tapo]

GAMECUBE WHOOO!!!! for most original and classic games. Many which are: metriod prime 1 & 2, wind waker, the new zelda, paper mario, vietiful joe, mario party, twin snakes, star fox, sunshine, pilotwings.... the list goes on

[Efflixi Aduro]

Dude pc would kill all the systems but out of the sysems... GAMECUBE all the way
You just cant beat Zelda, Metroid, F-Zero, Mario, Starfow, ect.
Iv said it before and ill say it again. Ill never buy a non-nintendo console unless they go out of busness.

What I meant by that is, that everyone puts up specs for the systems saying how much better one system is then the other, while a system can be the most powerful thing in the world while all the games on it might suck.  The point is there is no point in comparing processer speed, what you should be comparing is the games.

And My question again:
What console \"EXCLUSIVE\" games are on your favorite system?

[John_Thazer]

Boo to consoles...I don\'t like them...PC got all I need...the only console I think is worth buying/playing is GameCube since it got Niintendo games on it...and they are very good games...
