No... that's the same issue. Have you tried playing GoW on the Xbox? How about the up coming Halo 3?
The XBox? Or the XBox 360? I've played it on the 360. Looks fantastic.
Again, I mentioned they have a lifespan of about 3-4 years, just like the original XBox did. Eventually you'll be forced to upgrade. But the upgrade for the consoles (minus PS2 -> PS3
) are relatively cheap and last longer than it would for a PC.
Oh yeah, and if you want to play some old games, you can bust out the older console and play them. Can't say the same for old PC games, most DOS games hardly work on anything XP and above. ;(
