Lies Ed, pure lies! Your PC is barely hanging on to life. I do agree about Console games shouldn't cost so much, but I would argue that for any game in general. And, just like PC games, they go down in price after awhile.
Firmware updates and game updates? I'm okay with that. I've never had a problem with a game after an update on a console. On a PC, however, I've had to remove, re-install, pray to the almighty Arkanoid, and restart. I don't care about the update process on the console, and really, if you play enough, it's not that big of an issue. This doesn't even go into video card, sound card, and general your mom driver issues experienced on a PC. --------------------------------------------- Todd Elliott <[email protected]> | Profile<http://www.google.com/profiles/thelliott> | Unique Geek <http://www.theuniquegeek.com/> On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 12:23 PM, Edward Crosby <[email protected]> wrote: > The firmware issue mentioned I don't have a problem with on the Xbox 360. > Yes, as soon as you insert a new game an update is required but that's > mostly just a one time thing.
