What's wrong with your own console?

[doobiwan]

You left out the OS = + R800-R1000

but that's besides the point. We're reaching that inflection point in the consoles lifespan that PC's start to catch up. It's only this generation that it's taken almost 3 years to do it, and unfortunately the ramifications of powerful online consoles + piracy have meant that even now PC's are no longer "the premium platform". I'm in a position to upgrade my gfx card for the first time in 2.5 years but the thing is - there's no PC games worth dropping the R1000 for that would draw me away from my console.

And just a note, I'm not slamming PC gaming, there will always be PC games of some form or another, it's just that the sae change has happened, it's no longer "PC versus consoles", PC is just another platform along side consoles.

I hate the fact that i cannot copy things of a usb HDD/flash disk onto the Xbox HDD.
has to be downloaded from live or ripped from cd/dvd.

Using only Take2 Pricing:

Amd socket AM2+ Phenomx3 Tri-core 8450 Price: R 1,175
Asus AMD M2A-VM HDMI Motherboard - Socket AM2 Price: R 762
Leadtek nVidia GeForce 9600GT - 512MB - PCI-E Price:R 1,276
Apacer DDR2-800MHz Memory - 2GB Price: R 442
Seagate Barracuda HDD - SATA-300 - 16MB Cache - NCQ - 250GB Price: R 566
iSonic 923 ATX Chassis - 400w PSU Price: R 548

Not the best psu, but it works and should be able to run just about anything at med to high settings.

Why copy? Just stream the stuff straight from your PC?

I like TVersity, but you can also use Windows media player 11, or I think iTunes.

Hehe since I have all three I can rant on about all of them
PS3:
The f**king anti-aliasing, I think the game manufactures could liven this part up
The 120mb updates
R700 games
Xbox:
Lack of HDD space
Lacks the ability to play all my vids
No onboard wireless
Wii
Find that most of the games are too childish
