I know that you can buy the controllers for the pc if you want, but it's just not the same for some people :awais:
I agree that there is a difference between playing titles on the PC and a console. I prefer to play platform and action games on the consoles (and GCN is great for this!) but I find first person shooters (mouse-point) and racing games (the ability to easily add and modify cars) to be quite superior on the PC. It is all a personal preference, but I find the combination of GCN and PC to work the best for me. Of course... the best solution is to OWN THEM ALL!

Who are the people who actually watch DVDs on thier XBox and PS2... I know they're out there, but I haven't met any... and until I do, I'm unlikely to understand why!

I have watched one DVD on my Xbox but usually if I want to watch Divx files on the tv then I use it. Aside from that it is a game system only and a nice place to back up files I don't want anyone to find

ps2 plays dvds out of the box, so that's a dumb arguement. and what does the xbox have that the ps2 doesn't?

my friends got married last christmas (day after) and ~10 of us got together and bought them an xbox. they play dvds on theirs so that they don't have to buy a separate dvd player. makes perfect sense to me.
