Tweek Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I'm a PC gamer, but a do own a PS2, hardly ever use it though I only wanted it for GT3 and the Tony Hawk series, got it for Christmas 2003 with the online bundle, i'm waiting for GT4 which was set back again and is now expected to be released November 14th. The only thing i use it for right now is its DVD player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need to 'upgrade' to P4 and GeForce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

om13934 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 On my budget, I'm an xbox gamer, only because I can't keep up with the pc market and because high speed internet is too expensive. The xbox is easy to take to lan parties, and I play online at my friend's house. I would definately be a pc gamer if I could. You know you've played too much HALO when... -You start tossing frags in the bathroom to clear it before you enter -you go out and buy the halo special edition xbox the day it comes out for 20 dollars more than the normal one just because it is green and has halo stamped on the front and you already have a normal one at home! -there is an xbox in your car with its own copy of halo -you try to make a warthog out of legos -know how to pronounce Mjolnir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dblue Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Console all the way. WAAAY more quality games. Also, I get to sit on the couch and rock the Klipsch . Plus I can't see spending loads of cash to keep up with the requirements for PC games...Console developers can actually optimize code and utilize the hardware to the fullest...what a concept.

Tweek Posted May 2, 2004 Author Share Posted May 2, 2004 i'm actaully getting more and more out of PC gaming, i used to be a really big first person shooter player, but it seems that all the new games coming out are just repeats of older games with better graphics, my next PC is gonna be an Apple PowerBook 15" G4 1.5GHz (or G5 depending on when thats gonna come out) and i'm sure i wont be doing any gaming on that, and i dont really feel like upgrading my desktop PC with the latest and greatest video cards and cpu's since i will hardly be using it anymore when i get the notebook and i will have freedom to roam the house with wireless networking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpark Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 i'm definately a pc gamer but i do dabble in console gaming as well. to be exact i own a PS2. i grew up as console gamer (started on the coleco-vision and the atari 2600) but when i gained sufficient IQ i got into computers and computer games. i'll always keep a console game nearby because i prefer car-sims on the consoles (gran turismo and the like) than the pc ones and i love rpg's made by square-soft. (final fantasy!! wooohoo!!!) thos those that own a PS2: has anyone ever bought that Linux kit for the ps2? how is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinipig523 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 true that about pc gaming and needing to keep up with the technology... sucks to be me sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbley Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I just turned into a consol gamer with the purchase of an Xbox Halo edition and a high definition output kit for it. I really like to sit on the couch and see the game on the big screen with the klipsch speakers going. Once my 90 day warranty expires, or maybe sooner, I might buy one of the mod chips with the legal Cromwell bios so I can switch the Xbox into Linux mode and use it as a HDTV slideshow machine. I'd prefer to sit on the couch and look at my jpegs than hunch over the computer. My current DVD player will display jpegs. It does pretty well, but the picture quality is much less than what the TV is capable of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
