all game systems are sold at a loss (atleast when they come out), you expect something thats got a graphics card that is ''5x faster then anything in the pc world'' to be cheap? or a 'power pc like' processor with 3 cores running at 3.2ghz? where they get you is the games, remotes etc. etc. look at the wifi adapter for the thing... 99 bucks at my work probably built on the prisim chipset which im sure they get for about nothing... possibly under 5 dollars for the whole thing to be built.

p.s. i still love dreamcast

well yeah but not to the point where they won't barely test out the system. Microsoft, being as they usually are, rush there products. Sony is smart

Sony is actually smarter and better off for us as Americans since we get a later release of the console. So that way, when they release it in Japan a few months before the North American release, they are able find solutions to most of their bugs and are able to calculate how many PS3 should actually be shipped on the release date so we don't end up like many of the XBox fans who cried when they waited in line for hours only to find out that everything was out of stock.

everything by microsoft usually has errors.... Dreamcast, Xbox, xbox 360...
Idk

My dreamcast never failed me. It wasn't a microsoft product, it just happened to use an OS developed by MS.

THe first run of regular xboxes didn't have more problems than any other electronic equiptment. My V1.0 still works great, despite my numerous attempts to kill it...

I'll get a 360, I'll probably get the new playstation too this go around... one thing's for sure, I won't take anypart in this moronic "Computer>PS3>Xbox360>Xbox>PS2>my mom>your mom>your little dog too" bullshit.... People get way to passionate about it....

sure... ive got a watercooled, overclocked geforce 7800 gtx, a 3.0 p4 overclocked to 3.5, and a gig of mushkin level 2 ddr. everquest 2 and call of duty 2 look as good or better on my computer than any of the 360 screenshots i've seen, and my computer is not top of the line. wheres this 5 times faster thing coming from? if this technology is so much more advanced than todays computers, then where is all this technology that went into the 360? microsoft bought all the rights to this highly advanced graphics technology, and will not let it be leaked to the computer gaming industry? bullshit. consoles always have and always will be computers, mostly using components either from or developed from computer components.

also, i'll be correcting any spelling errors i see out of you from now on. it should be 5x faster THAN not then, and prism has only 1 i. thank you.

you obviously haven’t played one or seen project gotham on an hdtv setup... I’ll let you hold your breath until you do. shut your mouth until you have seen the real thing, of course it looks good on your 19 inch screen...

correct my spelling, and i'll correct you when you say dumbass things? deal?

wow, i've got my work cut out for me

way to completely avoid addressing any of the points i made in my post, keep up the good work. also, i have seen many xbox screenshots and have played one at target. excellent graphics, but its still made by microsoft, and theres no way in hell the graphics are 5 times better, 2 times better, or even 1.2 times better than high end pc graphics. also, you buy a 360, you have a 360. no upgrades. give it a year, then see which has 5 times better graphics.

the main point is that your computer doesn’t look as good, not that you'd know because you haven’t actually used a 360 obviously, your just talking. And as much shit as you talk i thought you would have done your research, oh well i'll have to do it for you

Xbox 360 CPU:
The Xbox 360 processor features three IBM PowerPC-based cores running at 3.2GHz each, coupled with 1MB of L2 cache. Since each core can execute two threads at the same time, the Xbox 360 CPU is capable of executing six threads simultaneously. The Xbox 360 is certainly cutting edge hardware by anyone’s standards.

While all the current launch titles that we know of are single threaded and currently do not take full advantage of the CPU’s multithreading capabilities, future titles can, and certainly will, be made to take full advantage of the 360’s multithreading capabilities. Before you get all worked up over the lack of multithreaded launch titles, rest assured that the remaining threads are being put to good use doing various tasks such as audio and video decoding.

right now its just the tip of the iceberg being its basically using on par with most computers right now as far as cpu power goes.
The first thing to note is that the graphics chip in the Xbox 360 bears no resemblance to what currently exists in the PC world, even if the architecture is superficially similar in some ways to the new 3D chip for PCs, the Radeon X1800 XT. Even so, ATI admits that the chipset in the Xbox 360 has several times the processing power of the latest generation of PC chips!

that’s from tomshardware guide. i don’t remember exactly where i found the 5x quote but it could easily be more then that theoretically.

dont turn this into a pissing contest, you already proved you spoke before you thought. just put your tail inbetween your legs and leave before you spread more mis-information

and yes, the graphics for the xbox 360 will be MUCH better in a year, nobody remember how pisspor the ps2 graphics were at launch? the ps3 graphics wont be near what they'll be in a year or two after launch.

this game was released over a year ago. doom 3's screenshots look even better, and its even older. i wasnt trying to compare the specs of my computer to the 360's, because i know they're better. the point was, my computer is basically outdated, other than the video card, and it looks ALMOST like a 360. take an all out brand new gaming rig, put it against the 360 and there will be little if any difference. give it a year, and the pc will walk on it. i remember how bad gt3 looked compared to gt4. basically what im saying is i dont have to get on a waiting list to give the richest cocksucker in the world 500 bucks of my hard earned money to play his buggy *** system, because i've been playing games that look incredible for a long time already. bad enough i have to run xp to play most of my games.

does it seem odd to anyone else that ati built some monster video card for microsoft to use, which is apparently 5 times better than anything they make for a pc, but they dont offer similar technology to the pc market?

Ya he was just comparing the games that use barely any of the cpu's power, with games he has to overclock his computer to run. Wait until the companies learn how to make games on the 360 that uses all of its potential.
