says the 360 itself is gonna be 400 or so..

the 1700 he says is from everything you'll need to fully enjoy it or something...

400$... w/e

 

[Emperor Pan I]

in other words, to much

 

[TweaK]

Remember the PS2 launched at around 550$ in canada, so this isn't too rediculous. I can get an xbox now off ebay, new, for about 150$ canadian.

620$ cnd

 

[Emperor Pan I]

$620 can?

holy shit I cant beleive people throw money at these companies for crap.

 

[COTA-GoD]

yup, your right. What are people thinking, throwing money away for a tri-core 3.2 ghz, 512mb DDR3 ram, 500mhz x800 equilavent (or better) ghx computer. Sigh, morons i tell you =/

even though your being sarcastic it is incredibly true. If I have the best computer in the world, it isn't worth shit if all the games I have on it are jsut clones with better graphics and shittier gameplay coming from the last gen console.

yeah, exspecially when linux gets ported then you can emulate windows if you dont know how to use linux.

and the purpose of that is?

 

[COTA-GoD]

a top of the line high end pc for low end price?

 

[Emperor Pan I]

then again if you need that much processing power jsut to run windows and are willing to 600 dollars when the xbox 360 has nothing to offer besides crap games and the possibility to emulate windows through linux then there is something wrong with you.

for 600$ the thing better scratch my ass and serve me coffee, because if all you care about is raw power, take a look at the ps3 which is twice as powerful.

Accually they stack up around the same, gg.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

their almost equal till you get to the processors where sony has one main processor and 7 others.

If you look at the accual proformance, they are about equal. The PS3 is a little bit higher.

 

[Emperor Pan I]

The PlayStation 3 coming out in 2006 has been announced as having a performance of 2.18 TFLOPS, roughly double the announced TFLOPS rating of the Xbox 360, itself rated in the TFLOPS class.

The comment is not true, as they are rather close in proformance.
