     Consoles really suck compare to computer. In my oppinion, it's just gaming for noobs. But i got a ps2 and a gamecube so i won't go too far with that... lol

    i like a good console style rpg or platforming game once in a while. consoles really have alot more to chose from compared to pc, on pc we have fps, rpg, rts, and adventure. on console you have platformers, stealth action is becoming more popular, and console rpgs are alot different.

    yer computers r better and more useful, can't use any ms office programs or anything on a ps2 can u? although i heard the ps2 was delayed because it was so powerful it could be used to control missiles? so they had to drop that a bit. I do have a ps2,i use it to watch DvD's more than anything although there are some great games, thinking of GTA3, DefJam Vendetta.....uhhhh thats bout it lol(nah theres too many to name)

    Actually Rathma, the fist gaming system was out way before computers became popular in public use.  So I guess you can say PC's are gaming for noobs.

     Interesting point. But i still kinda stick with my statement, only because the noobs today dont think much of computers as gaming systems, just something to talk on msn and such... You see, the noobs today that are looking for games, look straight to ps2,gamecube and Xbox because they were specifically designed for gaming. But if your a little smarter like most of the people at mmorpg.com you'll realize computers are very powerful gaming machines. But i also agree with your oppinion as well.

     Oh and BTW, if you have the console systems that were released before the computer then yes, you are pretty leet. But if you've only heard of ps2, GC, and xbox.... Then thats pretty noob.

    Well I wasnt saying that consoles are better than PC's necesarilly.  I was just saying that just because someone uses a console doesnt mean they are noobs.  Some people like consoles because they have less chance of crashing, and having errors, and things like that.  Some people like PC's becuase you can upgrade them, but some people dont know enough about computers to upgrade them.  I dont think consoles or PC's are better, It just depends on what you prefer.  Its all opinion.

    It's a shame that the guy who posted this thread was simply attempting to get results on which console were people's favorites on the list, but rather got a whole cpu vs console debate.

    I originally was more partial to the ps2, but with such games as "SW: Knights of the Old Republic" (excellent rpg) I'm leaning towards the xbox.

    XBox is the best party console. My friends bring theirs, we hook up with ethernet cords and play Halo. Awesome game when you have 8 people all in the same room. XBox is a LOT easier to transport than a computer at a LAN party, too. And now with new games like Counterstrike, XBox gets even better. XBox Live is a new found love of mine. Morrowind for XBox is so much better than for PC. It lags to high Heaven on PC, and it's so much easier to use the controller.

    And in reply to the statement made earlier, I have a friend who actually knows how to install Windows 95 on an XBox.

     It is tons of fun playing halo with 8 people, as i did last month. And i recently played counter strike for Xbox. Having played the pc one and then playing this. I only tried it for about 10 minutes. Wasn't impressed at all.

     If your going to get a good shooter game. The PC is the system that owns it. You simply cannot have as much control at all as the pc unless you want to go into the trouble of hooking up a keyboard and a mouse to the XBOX.

    You said you played CS for XBox for 10 minutes. You played CS for PC for, I'm guessing, at LEAST a year?

    You gotta learn the controls for XBox. I really wasn't impressed at first, either. But then I started playing it a bit more, and I actually like the XBox version more than the PC version now.

     Yeah but if you play the Xbox and the pc for the same amount of time (lets say a year) your going to still get alot more control for the p.c.

    I own halo for x-box and PC, and if you ask me ide rather play Halo on x-box with 4 or 8, or even 16 people in the same room with me than play against 16 people over the internet on the PC.  3 Reasons:  Its more fun when your sitting in a room with your friends with snacks playing against eachother, and cursing at eachother, and high-fiving eachother, etc.  Plus, the x-box graphics are better than the PC graphics, unless you have a geforce 4, that can run halo on better than 1024x786 screen resolution with better than 60 fps, wich MOST people dont have, and the TV screen is bigger than a computer monitor.
