BUY XBOX 360 or ATI Radeon X1900 XTX grapic card

Postby Stonecold on Tue May 09, 2006 7:38 pm

Which one would you buy? Would you buy the solid console system or buy the faster graphic card on the market and make your pc looks like the beast. I can't believe the damn graphic card cost more than a pc itself these day. Can buy 2 xbox 360 for 1 graphic card. UMMM. would you do it? would you spend the damn money just for the love of the games.

I mostly play nba live 06 and a few game on pc. I love the patch in NBA live.
Xbox 360 looks nice, but can't patch. If i buy the Radeon X1900 XTX, will it make any different with picture when compare to xbox 360? Thanks

Buy neither...wait for ps3. After looking at E3 2006...i can safely say that ps3 is worth the money.

If u want a video card that badly...get a refurb x1600 off www.newegg.com. Thats what i plan to do soon enough.

Go both. If you can honestly buy 2 360s for the price of the gfx card, buy a 360 and a half-decent card, maybe off of ebay or something, and get both. Sure your PC games may not look like FarCry screenshots, but hell, ya get two upgrades.
