[QUOTE=reapaninja;20671984]it's [noparse][img_thumb][/img_thumb][/noparse][/QUOTE] Didn't think of doing that. I meant more setting the size to, say, 300*300 with tags.
You can actually do stuff besides gaming on the pc. Like, browse the internet, or do office work.
The Xbox 360's GPU is basically around ATI X1800 to X1950 in terms of GPU power. It shares 512 MB of GDDR3 RAM with the CPU, which is tri-core CPU using PowerPC architecture (same shit as in the old Apple computers). Honestly, it's probably about as powerful as a mid-range gaming PC from 05/06. The only reason it can run all the high-end PC games is because they are heavily optimised for the console hardware (read: slightly cut down and certain graphical/physics features toned down or omitted). The Xbox 360 doesn't even display at full HD resolution (1920x1080), it has to upscale from 1280x720. When compared to a modern mid-range gaming PC (for example, an i5 with 4 GB of DDR3 RAM and say, an ATI 5770), the PC far outpaces the 360. And if they use the argument that "hurf durf PC costs more", then just say "well, you can't use a 360 for schoolwork, photo/audio/video editing, heavy internet browsing, video chat, MAKING games, now can you?". A gaming PC would cost about as much as an office PC and a 360 combined, so their argument is invalid.
[QUOTE=Robbazking;20672959]Tell him that cod4 only run at 1024x640 on console and that they got poor as peer to peer multiplayer. 360's a made to fucking milk you of money since everything extra to it adds up. Ps3 is like fuck you pay now and get everything.[/QUOTE] I used to be a fanboy of the xbox 360, but now i see that it really takes the piss the money you gotta spend. £60 for the wireless adapter when I bought it, plus paying for Xbox LIVE. Then you gotta buy rechargable bttery packs seporate. The list goes on. When you add it up, PS3 is cheaper. But the PC pwns all :downs:
[QUOTE=DrumStick;20662051]I try use these but, they just spam me with 'shut up your wrong'.[/QUOTE] Do it back. But srsly, if they ACTUALLY think 360 has better graphics, tell them to do this, [IMG]http://i625.photobucket.com/albums/tt337/bull3tmagn3t1234/KenPark-Suicide.gif[/IMG] Because those pea-brains don't know anything, Sorry to ask, if too personal feel free not to, how old are you and your friends? If ur in grade 8, no point, at that age, people will believe anything and die to say how true it is...

You do have to give the Xbox one think: Simplicity. Oh I wish that some games on the PC would be as quick and easy as plopping the disk into my DVD drive and the game starting up. No malware to deal with and no driver issues. No silly exclusive hardware features (PhysX on Nvidia). I still prefer the PC though.

[QUOTE=DrumStick;20661961]The title is self explanatory. My friends at school think Xbox360 has got better graphics. I admitted it that Xbox do have good graphics but PC are better. I know how to prove that PC is better is some many ways compared to Xbox but I don't know how to put it into word's. They also don't know much computer's which makes explaining a bit harder.[/QUOTE] Arguing about it just stupid. You're going to end up losing a friend over a stupid subject.
Show them this: [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WJG14uLA3k[/media] If they still disagree, just let idiots be idiots.

[QUOTE=Muscar;20661999]Or just stop arguing and you both start to understand that it's a personal opinion and none is better than the other since both has advantages over the other?[/QUOTE] What facepunch have you been visiting that discourages pointless arguments and shit flinging?
I showed the fan-boys I know Cod waw at max res with full AA and max settings. Then they said "well you can't use a controller", then plugged in my wired xbox controller and they had nothing to fucking say. Have you seen the orange box on the xbox? The draw distance is about 3 feet, you get farther and the props disappear.
[QUOTE=tommyc225;20673052]Have you noticed the AA on Xbox? Its freaking horrible![/QUOTE] What do you mean? It's the same as any other AA. Except - as wiki informs me - it is practically free at up to 4x.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;20674508](Edited Quote)[/QUOTE] I know this, though the average consumer doesn't. I had to fix an HTC magic for a friend of my mother (Who's laptop was in the kitchen, where it should be) who's knowledge of computers was "*Points to itunes shortcut on desktop* I know how to get music on my iPod and *points to Azures Vuze* I know how to download TV shows". She owned a Wii, knows how to play games on that. If there was a video game on a disk and I asked her to apply a No-CD patch she would probably give me a blank stare. You could start a Wii game while drunk with two shoes on your hands.
