An old Mac, yes. They changed to x86 some time ago.

lol, yes, I know.
Funny thing is the tri-core PowerPC Xenon @ greater than 3GHz is better than any old Mac ever was.

That's because Mac are essentially console-computers. You can't upgrade them T.T

No one cares. PC is the gaming platform.

Many people care, especially if they are console gamers that may be looking to upgrade in the future. And no, not all games are available on PC

So the two most respected racing series in the world aren't relavant? Forza and Gran Turismo have huge communities and a lot of fans.

Not necessarily. Heavy Rain isn't. Nor Gears of war, or killzone, or uncharted, or infamous, or God of war ( not that I really care there, but there are alot of fans), Epic Mickey or Pokemon, hell there's alot of "relevant ones" out there even if you personally don't care about them

I disagree... nothing beats a mouse to aim on an FPS; but I only buy the CoD's on my xbox or PS3, because then I can play on my TV while people are visiting (the wife does the talking while I do the shooting and ignoring everyone) and I can also split-screen with my brother (again, while the wife entertains whoever else is invading my CoD gaming room (also known as the living room)).

CoD is total shit, so it should be played on a total shit platform.

Everytime I masturbate, I'll do it in front of the console. The thought of a Microsoft executive vomiting and suffering at my little show will turn me on even more

To me, the Wii U doesn't even remotely look interesting. But then, the Wii never did have much going for it except HArvest Moon and Rune Factory

So... when you are using your xbox with something that isn't online, you unplug the network cable? Or do you just leave the modem/router switched off?

Gee, what else can install games from DVD, but does not need it to play games which are fully installed, is always on, ties games to account, offers social services, and stuff? A little something used by, uh, about everyone here? Nah, imposibiru, judging by people getting all upset it is not possible :P

The point here is that it kills the used game market. This may be hard to believe, but not everyone enjoys paying full price for games and consoles. Not to mention Used game stores generally have some of the best return policies when it comes to buying a game blindly and finding out it's shit

Yeah. And? Steam also tries to kill used game market, which is why I'm so glad EU's evil state regulations try to put some brakes on more stupid ideas. If Microsoft wants to sell new Xbox in Europe, it will also probably need to feature game trade functionality...

I'd hate if everyone had same policy when it comes to software as USA :(

True enough; but I did read about this always on from some article a while ago; from the same people who said the new PS3 controller would have a touch pad, no start or select buttons and a share button and they were spot-on with that.

Anyways... so... WHAT? Who here DOESN'T have internet always on???
Well, I guess I should say: ME! Because my provider SUUUuuuUUuuUUUUUuuUUuUUUUuucks; but I'm getting a new provider tomorow! YAY!

I'm currently downloading Bioshock Infinite at 0b/s. Sure, I can be online, but I have no use of it, and unless ythey greatly, GREATLY, improve the Live network, I will get more trouble than it'll ever be worth having an always connected Xbox.

Is Microsoft seriously trying to outdo EA in the being-suicidally-retarded department? How can Ivy educated million-dollar suits seriously think that stripping consumers of convenience, freedom and choice is a sustainable or worthwhile business practise? Because it's not as if Valve or CDProjekt (of gog.com) are exactly starving right now. Hell, even Sony has more sense than that. The very same Sony of the overpriced proprietary memcards packed in twelve kilos of cardboard each.

Come to think of it, I think only the music industry beats video games in terms of shitting on their own consumers.
