A little off topic...but I think IBM PC's were rated the best in the business in the yearly end review by a PC Magazine...I think it was PC world? Anyone else see it. It actually was rating tech service I think, and the best computer lines for the tech service, at which IBM rated the highest. It also rated the highest for working out of the box as well. Of course, they were only #2 or #3. The top computer...get this...Macintosh.
I think Dell was #4 or #5. They didn't have a great working out of the box for their computers, but they had an excellent for their technical service.
IBM is also advertising a computer on TV now for $549.
I don't know how they are doing now though, or how good they really are (That's only one magazine's opinion afterall). Interesting that Macintosh is rated so high.
There are a lot more Console games released then PC games, but most consoles don't come with Solitaire.
I don't play...course not....don't ever touch Minesweeper either...nope never, not me, don't know who it was that got 8 seconds on Basic, 54 seconds on Medium...and
565 seconds on Expert. Whoever that was really stunk at Expert mode, not me, never, nope, couldn't be, I deny it, I cannot be guilty until proven so...
What was I talking about again???
Oh yeah, I remember. As for SFC and bugs...Patch...next week? Did I hear right? can't wait. Love PC's right now too, mine is more versatile than the consoles I play on. Actually, my cousins play on consoles, I stick pretty much to the computer. They just beat FF X. Nice pretty graphics, I watched it some...still like my PC best, and it's games...bugs and all.

Don't confuse quality of the software with how good the tech support is, or even the value for the dollar. Certainly PCs will win those categories. My Mac requires far less maintenance than my PCs, so Apple's tech support, while (I hear is) very good, is not as important. You basically can't get on without it if you own a PC, unless you already know as much as they do, of course. I've never even had to call Apple tech support. My Mac crashes so I have to reboot it 2-3 times a year. It stays up and running all the rest of the time. Its a very capable OS, easily as sophisticated as Windows XP.
I'll concede that consoles are beating everything at games. I wasn't even thinking about those guys. My daughter certainly spends more time on her PS2 than she does playing computer games. If we were just comparing PCs and consoles, then yeah, PCs are way more capable. I'll agree with that completely.

well with XP I don't crash unless i'm playing a game that locks up (*cough* sfc3)... if I take it easy on the games I have gone a couple months without rebooting or crashing the OS to the ground
Edit: and what were you comparing if not consoles? Rereading the posts above.. that's what we were talking about I thought
moosefoof:
I fail to comprehend how this game was ever released.
The bugs are so numerous, and annoying, that anyone who plays the game for 2 minutes ? ok sorry ? 5 minutes, will encounter a problem.
Given that you people made the thing I?m going ?out on a ledge here? and will assume that you also knew of these problems when you tested it.
So why did you release it? It?s not conceivable that you weren?t aware of all the fixes the game needs.
My conclusion is this.
You simply decided to release this tits up version regardless, fill your pockets, and worry about the problems and the customers later.
Cheers.
