- I was just curious if there are people out there who are really saying
- to themselves..."Hmm, I want something to play cool games. Should I
- put down $250 on a NU64 or should I spend $1500 on a PC..."
-
- It seems to me that making a direct comparison between the two is not
- a very good idea.Personally, I would NEVER buy one of those to the
- exclusion of the other (assuming I could afford both). The NU64 is
- not meant to replace PCs, I don't think anything ever will; they could
- be termed 1) The expensive thing that can, among other things, play games
- or 2) High-end game machines (which I think is a STUPID idea unless you
- have some serious cash). Just my opinion...
