If you haven't already noticed, there are almost worthless pc games. Exclusive and top AAA titles are released on the consoles FIRST...pc's get sloppy ports. You mean to tell me I have to upgrade my complete $3000 PC setup (8800Ultra SLI/QX6600) system so that I can enjoy DX10.1 games that supposedly looks and plays better than any PS3/360 console game???!!

Well, I'll say no thank you - 360=$279...plays fantastic games, plays HD videos, streams, windows media extender...the list goes on...no way am I going to jump ship over to AMD and get all the hardware so that I can play WoW or some crappy PC ports...

PC gaming is nearly dead...or soon to be. The next Xbox 720 will put that nail in the pc coffin!

Also, anyone that's an avid PC gamer will probably only need to upgrade their GPU's, as their base configuration should be fine for now.

PC gaming is far from dead. I do agree with you on the exclusives though, I think all games that are multi-platform should be released at the same time.

Have you ever wondered why there is no web browser on the 360?

Microsoft does this on purpose. They want you to purchase the 360 so you can have first access to the games that they have made exclusive, while still shelling out money for a Vista PC to do your web browsing on, etc. It's a smart move from a business stand point, but the exclusiveness of the games is ridiculous.]]>Mar 4th 2008 2:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/
Microsoft get money from it's core software, no PC = no money to supplement the XBOX, how many Microsoft "developed" games are on the 360, is flight simulator?

btw that's ATI {AMD} graphics technology in the X360, technologies developed on computers are what make these consoles fly, by the end of this console cycle your going to wish you had a PC.]]>Mar 4th 2008 2:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/
And as far as the "Because Intel doesn't HAVE a triple core processor". Aren't AMD's triple core CPUs just quad cores with one disabled?]]>Mar 4th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/Mar 4th 2008 1:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/Mar 4th 2008 1:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/amd-unveils-directx10-amd-780-series-motherboard-gpu/

First they can't keep up with Intel's CPU performance, and now they can't spell.

And, last time I checked, people that play casual games don't really care about graphics , otherwise the Wii would sell like crap.
