XBox vs. PC

PCs are for sad geeks who have no life.
Game consoles are for those who want to entertain themselves.
I once tried using a PC - it was an absolute nightmare! (those who create these various versions don't exactly make them for the novice; they wrongly assume EVERYONE is a Geek) And using it was WORSE!!! Besides, I've ALWAYS used XBox, and it's too late to teach this old dog new tricks. And when PCs become as easy to use as XBox, games are as easy to load into PC as it is for XBox, and there's Halo 2 ported to PC (or better still, XBox games are compatible with PC), THEN I'll use it And You PC-ers DARE to accuse Bill Gates of being the 'Antichrist'?! At least he makes his game consoles EASY to buy & use!!!
So, until then, I say:
GET THEE BEHIND ME, PC-SATAN!!!

What are you on? Can a XBOX be used to write a paper, solve equations, take to school, do homework, and browse the internet/NS?

You're comparing apples to oranges here. PC's are made to do a lot more shit than just play games. XBOX's are made to just play games and the whole system is designed around that. PC's are made to get work done and also provide entertainment.

That being said, I'll take my desktop and laptop to play games anyday rather than on an XBOX. No controller will ever give you the feel that a mouse does when gaming. I used to hook up a keyboard and mouse to my original XBOX and pwn the shit out of people in Halo LAN parties.

PCs have always ran better than consoles! Consoles hardware are complete shit, even when they 2nd gen xboxs came out their processors were not that great.   Hell some of the phones coming out this year will have more powerful processors than the xbox.

i find it funny how you think the phrase "is a geek" is interchangeable with the phrase "isnt a retard". seriously, computers arent that hard to figure out.

You also can't emulate old games on an Xbox. With my computer i can play GBA, N64, SNES, PS1, Atari, Gamecube, Wii, and any other games system from those eras

I was under the impression that people play XBOX because they aren't good enough to play competitively on PC. The skill-level of PC players in shooter games is quite intimidating at times, so I don't blame them.

That being said, all hail the PC Master Race!
