It is also important to note that even if someone built a PS4 pro or XiX, the games moving forward would not be optimized for the PC you built the way they would be on the console*.

Also, 3-4 years from now, developers will be considerate to the constraintsof console hardware and will use their expertise to work around it...

Your 3-4 year old PC... No one's trying to do the same thus upgrading will start to force the issue of having to upgrade..

Then, think about the fact that many people don't want to build the house themselves... They just want to pay for it and live in that shyt so building rigs and performing maintenance may be its own barrier of entry.


--------

I will say, though, I don't knock the brehs who build rigs. The way I see y'all talk, the building sounds like a fukking art.
The thing is, ballet is an art too, and I have no fukking interest in learning either at this moment of my life.:pachaha:
I built my own but the end got me weak :dead:

But this is why i loved OtherOS and took the damn time to install Linux on PS3, that shyt was a fun experience. Thinking back on it, I just remembered my vow not to buy another PlayStation after they took it away. Man fukk Sony for that forreal.
Yeah fukk that Linux stuff for real. I remember people keeping old PS3 just to keep Linux on it. Even the gov was using Linux on the PS3. fukk them for removing it frfr

why would I have melt downs :dahell: my pc is 3+ years old and still more powerful :dahell: I play on 144 hz 1 ms monitor :dahell: your consoles still struggling with 60 fps :dahell:

truth is, if you dont have a 4k TV then why would you get a xbox 1x? But if you get a 4k TV because you plan on getting a xbox 1x, then yes you have to include that in the pricing because before the console came out, you obviously had no intentions of getting one :dahell:

Before I regulate I must point out the threads title. Because most answers have nothing to do with the topic.

Which is by default an answer of NO :win:
It depends where you put the computer as well. If you can hook it up to your TV, that is a bonus. That way, you can run KODI or watch those live tv streams. Also, the piracy is much better on PC systems.

If you forget about the PIRACY on computers, you do get better gaming deals than console users. Games are much better. Mods are actually good.

Console gamer are restricted too many things.

Personally, i think it is okay to spend a little bit more money on a PC for a better media experience
So no... And the other shyt you talked about also works flawlessly on Xbox one. Reddit provides links to any sporting event in HD/60fps with pre and post game.

I'll be watching Andre Ward tomorrow night thru my Xbox

Tv, movies, Netflix shows all from another site. Don't need "kodi" or any of that shyt. Plug and win is how Xbox rolls :ufdup:
I would say YES..if all you need is the tower...but generally speaking no. If you were to build one.. def consider dropping a little more cash anyway, since a PC is a lot more versatile than a console.
So again, no. The consoles versatility is virtually unknown to people who claim one side or another. I personally have been showing nikkaz how to eat since 2013, Bon appetite :wow:

The question is can you build a pc as powerful at $500, and your non answer is the answer :win:

Now to address your nonsense.
The XB1X doesn't need a 4ktv to work just like a gaming PC doesn't need a 4k monitor to work. But if you wanna play that game, how much does a 4k monitor WITH HDR cost?

CHECKMATE MUTHAfukkA :hubie:

The Xbox comes with a controller, on the house :umad: do PC come with controllers, no, you gotta buy Xbox joints cuz PC can't even make a decent pad :laff:

And we don't pay top dollar for games anymore, shyt drops to $30 in about a month these days. This is the era of backlogs so you lying to yourself about prices. Which leads me to my final point.

Xbox live. I pay $40 a year for it (cdkeys has it for 30-40 at all times) it keeps me safe from bots/cheaters, you know, the shyt that dominates PC gaming.

He tried to say Xbox one had the same problem then posted a video of an Xbox360 game dealing with it :laff:

I already know what you're gonna say, ill put spoiler tags around it...

Clara!!! :damn:

Seriously if you own an xbox already and you buy this you've spent over 500 dollars on an xbox 1 especially for a mid gen upgrade. Anybody that doesn't have an xbox one already then yea I would say it's a pretty good deal.

You can find prebuilt computers for $500 that out perform the xbox 1x. The issue is the idiots here are trying to use new parts with new price tags to do so. PC technology updates fast but also sustains at the same time. You can find a i7-3770k build with a 970GTX in it for probably $500 on craigslist


HP Phoenix - i7-3770k, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD-1TB HD, GTX-970

heres one for $550 (same price as xbox1 1x after taxes) that would murder the xbox1 1x in performance.

i7-3770k

8GB ram

GTX-970

256GB SSD

1TB Hard Drive

Liquid Cooled


The XB1X doesn't need a 4ktv to work just like a gaming PC doesn't need a 4k monitor to work. But if you wanna play that game, how much does a 4k monitor WITH HDR cost?

:dwillhuh: then what would be the point of "upgrading" to the xbox 1x if you dont have a 4k tv? You understand if you own a xbox 1 and and xbox 1x then you now have spent $1000 on the xbox 1 ? :sas2:

But a 4k monitor you are looking at $350-400 but most PC gamers dont care about that, they rather have 144+ hz monitors.

The Xbox comes with a controller, on the house :umad: do PC come with controllers, no, you gotta buy Xbox joints cuz PC can't even make a decent pad

Comes with 1 controller. You have multiple kids. So you just share the 1 controller :sas2: ? I bet you have 3-4 controllers in your house :sas2:

Why would PC come with controllers, maybe 1% of people who use PC use controllers..

And we don't pay top dollar for games anymore, shyt drops to $30 in about a month these days.

Well I mean when your platform flops as hard as xbox1 did I guess you have no choice but to cut costs :manny:

It was nice of you to attempt to reply, but you failed. You don't believe most of what you wrote, and you contradicted your own bullshyt which gives me the easy victory. So I need 4controllers and a 4ktv to enjoy am Xbox1x but a an inferior pc with no controllers and no 4khdr monitor at 550 is your final answer :mjlol:

You've made a fool out of yourself, I enjoyed the ride...
you can watch bootleg shyt on xbox? illegal streaming sites?
Most sites work, if one isn't working press start, go to settings and click the box that says mobile. Then restart the page and it should work.

Now what throws people off are the pop ups. If you have a keyboard and/or voice controls you cab avoid most of that. The keyboard you can press F for full screen. Space is pause. The arrow keys move the video back n forward and this stuff doesn't upset the pop-up ad gods.

Your voice works as well, Xbox pause, play/etc. Or Xbox select will bring up the option to say full screen video.

Thats if there are ads at all. I will be watching Andre Ward tomorrow in HD via my Xbox, guaranteed

To all the pc gamers out there I have a question for you...




When your friends come over to play games what's the seating arrangement like?

Is it kinda like...

Or more like..

Or switch it up like...
