basically, the more copies they sell the more money they earn, they will sell more copies if they release the game for all platforms at once, there has to be someother reason i.e. someone has deal with someone to withhold game from somewhere for certain amount of time, its just a case of who would want it withholding an why, im guessing mr gates for sum uknown to me reason

You know that, I know that, everyone who's finished primary education probably knows that but Micro$oft doesn't seem to want to know it because they're determined to saturate the gaming market with inferior platforms that'll have to be replaced every other year and drive out any and all serious competition while they're doing it.

'inferior platforms' no offence but you are talking complete and utter rubbish. lets say i bought a pc at the same time i bought my xbox. by the time xbox2 comes out (2005ish) id probly be needing a new pc or sum heavy uprading. thats in between 500 and 2000 quid down the drain. then i buy my xbox2 for about 400 at the most id estimate. financially xbox is a better option. gameplay wise its gunna b a better option most of the time. getting a pc that performs better than an xbox as a gaming platform AND mantaining it is a v expensive thing to do, for v little advantage. the only time i would ever say pc over xbox is when you hav enough money to splash out on expensive pcs and pc mods.

In my opinion third party modifactions can enhance gameplay tremendously (the best looking robes I have in KOTOR are third party modifications) and you just don't get that on an Xbox, besides those gamepad thingy's make my fingers hurt.

And finally PC's as office equipment are tax deductable to a certain amount when I upgrade them whereas consoles are not.

And lastly I don't even own a decent televison set (that is one modern enough for a console), so even if I had a console I'd have nowhere to plug it into. And a good home theatre system plus an Xbox would cost about the same amount as a PC that outperforms the Xbox as a gaming platform.

I know a fair number of people who won't be willing to pay the additional fees for imports and will aquire this in some other fashion, and frankly if I didn't work in one of the only jobs where I can't afford alternative product aquisition so would I, if I were still in college I wouldn't give it a second thought.  All that differing the US and international PC release dates will accomplish is a loss of revenue for LA Europe and probably LA in general too.

Not something I'd risk myself (ahem) but there's a lot of people who will do that rather than wait 4 months. Bringing the release date forward wouldn't solve all these problems, but it would cut back on them. (Luasart's loss I suppose)

I think the point of this thread is the release date of the PC version, though.

I can't surprise now. Yeah just push back that date behind the release of EP3. I don't care.

Wouldn't bother me any.

Ya that'd be kind of funny

How fun would it be if the cancelled the pc version

It would be about on par with how Lucasarts seems to do business now.

I'd love that to happen... shows all you stuck up PC jerks that xbox is just as good for ppl who appreciate KOTOR and don't mod it to death.

i wish there were some easier mods for the xbox version...

yeah totally, if you dont hav live ur completely screwed, but is there any other way of doing it?

I don't want a fight Anakin... I'm just tired of people dissing/leaving Xbox out.

Please obsidian forum, don't go down that road, i've seen it happen on the LA boards, this discussion is not worth screwing up an entire forum for. People enjoy reading and responding to eachother's posts here. please don't mess things up.

I didn't see anyone doing that in this thread. In fact, most of the shots (and I know they were just in jest) were XBox users taunting PC users. Which is fine, if it's in good fun.

 

But when you start using the words "jerks" or whatever, then it's going from playful teasing to outright flaming.

>Does Amazon know something we don't?

 

Selling stuff around the world and making a fortune?

And i think they would ahve some connections.
