Massive KOTOR Update Delights
Weapons, environment updates and more set for launch.
There are tensions between Xbox and PC users that the casual observer may well find amusing. Content envy, a new condition discovered at Xbox launch, operates one way or the other whenever a game for both platforms is announced.
Eager to address this escalating problem, LucasArts is set to release a whole batch of new goodies for the Xbox version Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, after months of campaigning by the console fraternity.
The Xbox update, which is expected to be released within weeks, will see almost all of the content as enjoyed by PC users and will include nearly all the monsters and weapons therein. A complete new space station – the Yavin Outpost - will also be included, famed for being the launch site of the X-Wing assault on the Death Star in the first Star Wars film.
Specifically, a new uprated blaster will be available to buy, as will several lightsaber upgrades.
Xbox Live users should expect further details straight from the source soon.

Content envy? Hmm, interesting phrase, like it. Can it be applied to matters other than videogames? Suggestions please...

It's about time!
Given the sales of the games, why should PC get miles more stuff, when it's clearly an xbox game through and through? The next one should be fully online also, which would be nice

Are you kidding me? There is no other console 'system' out there in this world that can ever be as advance as the PC itself. Console systems are made ONLY for gaming, and it can't be upgraded the way a PC can. There is no such thing as a game that should solely be made for a console system. Not only does a PC have an unlimited amount of hardware upgrades so long as the motherboard can take it, but it also has unlimited amounts of software upgrades as well, as long as the user's hard drives are large enough.
For example, my system has 120 Gig's of HD space, 1.2 Gig's of RAM, and video card to die for - 256MB Radeon 9800 XT. Now, can a simple console like XBox beat that? Hahahaha, no, I don't think so. It's just no competition. Plus, whenever the game company releases new patches for their games, I can download them and improve game playability at whim. Can XBox do that? Ha! Yeah right!
There are way more computers in the world than there are XBox systems, Game Cubes, and Playstation 2's combined. XBox will be discarded in a couple of years, but PC's can always be upgraded. 8]
BTW, I'm not dissing you. I'm just stating facts. 8]

Yes, it can.
Thing is, when Xbox was announced, with HD and all, the nay sayers reckoned that it would be plagued with PC-style beta releases that would be patched up post release (can any one say "Windows"?).
Microsoft's response was to say that it would never happen.
In January this year UbiSoft's Rainbow Six 3 (http://spong.com/x?vid=11034712) was patched via Xbox Live.

True, until the CPU or memory manufacturers change their form factor, or a new standard in expansion card connectors arrives. After so many upgrades, you'll eventually change the mobo, PSU, CPU, hard drive, memory, optical drive and probably case. In the end you'll have discarded the old PC and replaced it with a new one, albeit in a piecemeal manner. ;)
