That's a joke, right?

Warhawk's pretty average online if I'm honest.

Warhawk is aweomeness sent from the gods themselves. This is something you wont get on a pc.

What's RE? I know it's not resident evil as that's not a staple franchise but I can't guess what it is.

RE is Resident Evil. You need to play the fourth game. Get the Wii one if you can. RE4 is out on PS2 as well.

Highly recommend RE4 and WH. WH is download only right now about 800MB.

So lets assume that these forums are only used by 12 year old kids?
Shall we also forget that a lot of the users discovered these forums because they bought components so they could build their own PC's?

I've used bold on those words just to help you with the illusion you are suffering from

This thread just needs closing, one person starting a thread just to state their opinion is just going to lead to other people replying their opinion in contradiction and it'll descend into a fanboy war.

Also can you rip cds on the HDD in mp3? will it tag them automatically?

Yep, you can choose the bitrate, format (AAC, MP3 and ATRAC) and it gets all the names for you.

And as I said above post there is nothing a 360 or a PS3 can do that a PC can't do better but a Wii can do something the a PC can't do.

If someone can Name just one thing a PS3 or a 360 can do that a PC can't then I take back all I just said.

Play Gran Turismo HD/Prologue and GT5. Tekken 5 DR. shall i continue?

the mistake your making is that your not thinking "what is this box designed to do", they are designed to play games (and multimedia on).

Consoles have AAA+ exclusive titles associated with them, which are not available on a PC (and to be fair vice versa) so ultimately you are forced to choose between the software you actually want to play before deciding which "box" to buy.

Ok if you say so, but I found another of your posts saying how expensive a 8800 is and how you wanted one :rolleyes:

oh thats rubbish. you need to stop with the antagonising comments regarding wealth or lack of. if you cant have a sensible discussion id suggest you dont bother, because you wont last long on here.

Inoshishi · 9 Sep 2007 at 15:19

Some people are nuts!

I love my PC, I love my Consoles, Jeez just play the games and enjoy them!

Eh he is the one saying we only have a console because we cant afford a high end PC

seems he cant either, which makes his point silly, get with it and read before jumping in without knowing the debate

Think he means in terms of graphical and hardware prowness. But on the literal side of things, PCs have far far better racing sims and fighters than the PS3. I don't think it's exactly smart to reference an example of a PSP game ported to the console either.

On a tangent though, I think Warhawk absolutely stomps on the jerkwad/lagfest that is Battlefield 2/2142.
