...or maybe you should all buy an XBox and Halo 2 for $400 instead of a new game and operating system for $700.

Yes but some of us want to mod it. Modding is fun, and i dont want to get a mod chip and get banned from xbl.

Since when has an operating system costed $400? That's like an xbox 360.

All the operating systems i've ever bought have been less than $100.

What does geographical location have to do with the price of an Operating System?

No clue...but usually it might...

In New Zealand, Windows xp WAS $600 USD

Its a new os microsoft isn't makingit just so you can play halo 2.

sundriedprawn wrote:its a program, windows xp is a program, and windows xp is 400

Windows xp home/pro/whatever is only $100.

Vista will probably go for $500 mb $700 max at least when its first out, thats why I'll by it when its gone down to XP price. XP's prices will also probably drop when Vista comes out. Also I bet all the old games will be compatable on Vista just like under the poperties of a game under compatability it says "run this game in compatability mode for 95/98/2000." now its going to have XP in the list.

What errors? You obviously don't treat you computer right if you get so many errors. I've only had two errors on my lappy with XP.
1. When I killed a usb port by accidently soddering two wires together while making an xbox controller workable on my lappy, plug it in BAM error, get another breakaway cable and do it again (bad idea) but then it works.
2. When someone spilt soda on my laptop.

My friend has a moderately good computer and he gets way over 30 fps on all high settings, yours isn't top o' the line or isn't configured correctly.

The only way your computer is top of the line is if your waiing at the end of the production line. YOu get home hook it up and BAM its already obsolete

why do you people assume that it's $600, I hope it's not from me because if it was, that was in New Zealand.

IF you get Windows Vista (i've prounounced it veesta not v

no need to worry, Prolly get a version from my dad's office. Same place I ogt XP, APSCS2 and 3DSMax. And from what Ive seen, Ive gotta Agree with Mac. Ive never seen an OS go for more than 100.

First of all, Microsoft would think of making Windows Vista so it supports most games. Second, the operating system "Windows XP" is not fast enough for great games like Halo 2. Third, Operating Systems don't cost $600

.

EDIT: I would get it anyway because Windows XP gets unstable all the time.

Thank you..uhh, Cuda (that name reminds me of that Lion king song) and Warbandit

you never know until it comes out, and you cant really assume that vista is going to be $400, it's lilke saying "I think Halo 3 will be 79.99 when it comes for Halo 3" Obviously not...

Cuda · Post by **Cuda** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 7:18 pm

games(unless in a bundle pack) dont usually go over 60 bucks... so a $70 pricetag is a bit much.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 7:20 pm

The only reason an xbox 360 game will be over $59.99 is because it's some collectors edition, like the Elder Scrolls one.

EDIT: or as the person above me said, of course.

As a person who has seen vista (friend has it, beta build at least) I can say it is gonna be awesome, Im even looking forward to IE 7 or whatever it is. I will definitely get Vista. For most of you its gonna cost a lot more because you will have to get a new computer, Vista is 64 bit architecture and most PCs nowadays are only 32 bit. I built a new computer with 64 bit capabilities just for Vista.

theyre redoing IE? Why not just stop, and let it die. I sure hope Firefox got 64 bit capabilities....

jks · Post by **jks** » Mon Feb 27, 2006 11:16 pm

IE 7 is supposed to have borrowed many of its capabilities from Firefox, the two are very similar, it has tabbed browsing, plugins and extensions like FF... and some other stuff, and security has been drastically improved.
