Practically Idea Episode 2: Politics, Tech, & Movies

But that's not even the biggest problem... which I think is that computers/desks in the front room right next to your TV only work for single people (unless you're really cramped for space). :-) It takes a lot of work (and money) to make a computer NOT stick out like a sore thumb in a front room. Plus, for a lot of people (including me), you just put two things together that have the potential to get in each other's way. Having them separated makes them easier to share / avoids conflict. :-)
Now you just need to try the PS3 at some point. Pretty much the same experience, really, but different set of games.
2. That depends on where you look for demos, for example PC demos are also available in magazines dvds, and the good websites that contain up to date demos dont have 40mins waiting for download either(like fileplanet).
3. The same service available for Xbox has been made available for windows for quite some time (Games for Windows Live!). Hardware issues are non-existent if you buy vista certified hardware, and non-existent if you have windows xp.
As far as firewalls are concerned, Xbox has one built-in that doesnt bug you with permissions because everything you can access from the Xbox has already been approved on their firewall exception list.
4. You can hook up that TV to the PC, providing your video card is not more than 2-3years old. For the full HD experience on the PC you're gonna need max 1year old card. You can hook up those speakers to a 5year old Creative Sound card and they will sound better then on the setup you have now.
5. Yah emm just start winamp and minimize it while you play a game? Tech Degree required.
6. Again you can buy a gamepad for your PC and the game plays exactly the same, I dont see what other differences there may be.
7. Conclusion is that you dont know what you're talking about.
Hearing that all I have to do is get demos from magazines, buy only certain games, use a particular OS, move my office computer, buy extra hardware (gamepad), etc. and presto! the same experience... I'm sure there's no hassle or room for issues to arise. Yeah, right.
