- P4 doesn't mean anything in gaming cuz you don't need that frickin' crazy speed to run a game.
--- umm... shall I tell him, or shall you? higher processor speed = higher performance = better graphics = higher framerate. take a look a a screenshot of Unreal Championship, and UT2003 against each other. UT2003 looks better, and has tweakable options. UC also has serious framerate issues.

- You say that you have 600kbit BB. In fact, Xbox Live!'s standard BB is 1Mbit, 100Mbit max, so it's better than your what you called "computer" system already.
--- what the standard is doesn't matter for anything. It's all down to the line which a person is served by. 1mbit is only available in Cable areas, if you don't have cable, you must use ADSL.

- In fact, GeForce 4 is not even a good video card. Let me tell you more. Xbox has the technology called "pixel shading" which GeForce 4 doesn't even have.

-In fact, there are 5000+ players on Xbox Live! JUST for Unreal Champ. So imagine, adding up all those Xbox Live! games' players would be 70,000+...PC online gamers are only around 6000-8000.

also:

1. anyone who pays $4000 is an idiot who buys from their armpit.
2. pc games do not have to be installed everytime you play them, and as a game such as UT2003 only requires a 25second load up time and roughly 20 seconds to get a few servers up, it will eventually be a quicker process
3. sorry spank for stealing the thunder that you would probably throw.
