Thats why I have a 1 Tb hard drive in my desktop. I've got well over 50 games installed on here, and I'm not even a third of the way full.

[SomeKittens]

Battle for Wesnoth is a great game.  There's no excuse for tiny hard drives.

I have a mac. Viruses All of the useful programs and fun games begone!

Wow. That dell has a LOT of cords in the back of it...

[SomeKittens]

...And despite that, I'm willing to bet it's 5x more powerful than the mac.

Garageband isn't useful?

Fun games take up too much space anyway, I'd rather just play random internet games or use my wii. Although, I downloaded Battle for Wesnoth and have been having fun with that.

Mac Switch - Gaming

[Cpt.Jaeger]

The Steam platform works on Mac now..... FYI to you out of date, uninformed, adware over-run, malware ridden, virus buried windows users

[The M]

The 1 platform works on Mac now..... FYI to you NEVER VIRUSSY NEVER POPUPPY NORTON USING windows users!

I made it better.
Also, another complaint for apple.
Itunes is a slug on my fast windows because apple collaborates against microsoft.
BLACK OPS IS OUT TODAY AND MICROSOFT STOCK IS GOING TO SKYROCKET SO HAHAHAHAHAHA APPLE!

Yeah, that IS a step forward for macs but, theres still FAR more games on Steam for PC.

Every game I personally ever liked, I got on mac when I made the switch, i'm happy

Why the debate over gaming? Computers are far more useful for other things

Usefulness is relative.

[Ironica]

The funny thing to me is, I always hear mac peeps rave about their machine and how pc stinks.  The funny part comes in when mac finally gets a program/utilities that pc had for years, they get excited and basically say "see, now I can do that so mac rules". To me, its like some one comes up to you and says that they just were able to make their dialup go twice as fast so they are the best choice :p.

Probably made no sence but o well.

well, the thing is, mac can beats PC in every way except the available additional software you can for it (mostly ONLY games and part of Microsoft office suite). so when mac catches up in that aspect, the argument for PC is lost.

[The Schaef]

Not really, since Macs still come as complete, finished products and I have made it a point to keep and upgrade this computer in pieces for the last decade.  Technically, it has none of the same parts now as then, but my choice of what to build and how to build it simply has no comparison in the Apple market, which makes its stand on proprietary hardware designed for minimal user "hassle" (read: option or requirement to customize to a large degree).

[Cpt.Jaeger]

upgrade-wise.... if you buy a higher end mac, you won't have to upgrade for at least 5 years. i have a 6 year old mac and a year old mac, the older one can handle everything my newer one can (including CS4 suite, games, video encoding, etc) except play blue-ray.

On a side note- if you were that capable, you'd be able to manage more upgrades than you might think with a mac. I own a newer macbook pro, and have managed to upgrade the battery, DVD-drive, and hard drive myself without problems. Haven't worried about anything else yet.

How exactly is limited upgradeability on par with near total upgradeability?

I didn't say it was. The main point was that you don't even have to with a mac.

.... but you can if you want to make it good at all.

umm, no

upgrade-wise.... if you buy a higher end mac, you won't have to upgrade for at least 5 years.

That is a brilliant idea: spend $3,000 on a computer every five years so I don't have to pay $100-$150 for a new component every year.

Yeah, you tell him how those expensive macs are a waste of money!!! You go Schaef!....

*hides my $3,000 Macbook Pro*

*whistles innocently.*  

hey, my school required me to get a macbook pro...... stop looking at me that way...

And then have your computer only last 3 years. Plus, there are so many things you have to purchase for software to give it what the Mac has.

[YourMathTeacher]

You guys are all fruitcakes. It's a computer, for cryin' out loud.

Bow before my mighty eMachines with a Celeron processor and integrated graphics. 512MB system RAM in your face!!
