Oh my lord this is getting out of hand.
Ok. OP never asked for you to argue that PCs are better than Xboxs. This is NOT the place nor the time (and I do not want to see it again or I so swear) to be discussing this. Warnings are getting handed out. Next time, keep it to the OP and don't hijack the thread.

Brothers, this is not how you spread the word of the glorious PC master race.
In no way did OP state that he planned on getting a console over a PC, that consoles were better than PCs, or that he came to the decision that he'd rather have a console than a PC. Your witch-hunting was unneeded and rather childish of you all.
Now, don't get me wrong, I love PCs as much as the next guy. I 100% agree that PCs>Consoles, consoles hold back the industry, yadda yadda yadda, however, this does not mean I will allow this kind of derailing and flaming/arguing that has happened on this thread. If someone asks for a PC build that beats the current 'next-gen' consoles, feel free to post your builds, assert the glorious PC master race, and dictate why PC>consoles. However, if the post is like this one and doesn't even mention PCs please don't derail it with your nonsense.
Locking this as this thread is long-gone. I hope you have a good time with your present, OP.

CharliechoStop putting words in other people's mouths. Sure it wasn't a great analogy but nowhere does it even imply anything close to that. We don't shun those who enjoy consoles, or at least we shouldn't *cough cough*. It's perfectly fine to game on whatever you want to game on. We simply just wanted to give OP another option to consider since we feel that it would be better for them.
You can't just compare it to something like that. Only a mentally-challenged (shall not use worse words) race car driver would get a Prius to race in. So are you saying people who own consoles are mentally-challenged? Some people just prefer console gaming. Consoles do different stuff than PCs, and vice versa. Some people prefer consoles, others prefer PCs.

Anyways there are a lot of cool things that you can do on the Xbox that you cannot do on a PC.
Like what exactly?

Guys just let him get the xbox, its his loss.

Sorry, back on topic. I personally think it's a waist of money to get Minecraft on a console when you already have it on PC or Mac. You should play other games. I don't s having a prequel in 2016. I doubt my laptop (which is yet better than most PCs) can run it.plan on getting an XBOX One until next Christmas because one of my favorite games i

All this PC specs and stuff hurts my brain... >_< I always get so confused at that stuff.

It's not confusing at all.
Basic PC Building Logic: (Intel i3/5/7-based PC)
CPU: (Usually) Bigger Number = Better CPU
Motherboard: H87, H97 or Z87, Z79 chipset (H if locked CPU, Z if unlocked. Unlocked CPUs have a "k" at the end, Locked CPUs just have a number)
RAM: Cheapest available kit with a suitable amount (Usually 8gb)
Video Card: (Among Brands) Higher Number = Better Card
PSU: Basically anything Corsair, EVGA, or CoolerMaster
Storage: Seagate Barracuda or Western Digital Caviar Blue (1TB, 2TB, 3TB)

I am getting an Xbox One for Christmas as well. We will be known as the 'Christmas Newbs' I have no experience with console whatso ever (unless a Wii counts...). I mainly just want the Xbox so I can play Shape Up

Good lord, you people can't be serious.
Someone's happy to get an Xbox One, and all you do is rain on their parade with "omg pc iz betr".

I'm not trying to be disrespectful in any way in my previous reply, same with this one.
But think of it this way:
Someone wants to be a race car driver.
They buy a $500,000 Prius to race with.
They're not allowed to race on a real track due to their car (for some reason).
Sad racer has to race on the street in his under-powered car.
This situation could've gone this way:
Someone wants to be a race car driver
They buy a $350,000 Lamborghini
They race on race tracks for big money, and win with their fast car
Happy racer does what he wanted to do in the beginning.
You see why everyone's saying that the OP is getting screwed? He's basically doing the first situation I just listed. I know it's the OP's money to spend, but everyone is just telling him that he's not going to get an optimal experience for the money he's spending.

PCs giving you the "optimal experience" might not be the same for others, especially those who prefer games like Halo and Call of Duty, which are a much better experience on consoles. You one-dimensional people who praise PCs and shun everyone who doesn't are the ones who are screwed. The OP is fine. Everyone who likes consoles is fine. Everyone who likes PCs are fine. Everyone who likes both are fine. People who shove their opinions onto others and insult them, like you, ARE screwed.

Okay let me first say that I never said anyone was mentally challenged. You're overreacting. I'm saying that in comparison, spec-to-spec, a console and a PC are like a Prius and a Lamborghini. Nowhere did I say that console-owners are retarded.
I'm also not talking about an optimal experience regarding other games. The OP wanted to play Minecraft. Nowhere did he say Halo or Call of Duty. The optimal Minecraft experience is on PC, period. Console Editions are awful compared to PC Minecraft.
We're not closed-minded people. Most of the people suggesting a PC own consoles themselves. I do too. I occasionally play Minecraft on the PS3. You're accusing me of insulting people, when I clearly stated that I mean no disrespect at all. If anyone's insulting people, it's you people who take offense to anything regarding a PC on a console thread, and scream at people who are recommending the OP to get a PC instead. Nowhere are we forcing them to get a PC. We understand that it's their money, and they can do what they want with it. We're just telling the OP that they're making a not-great choice. I mean the xbone is good for like Forza, but that one single game isn't worth getting a $400 console.

I know, at least now i know I am not the only one who feels that all of this is unnecessary. I hate it when I am excited about something and then I get put down by someone else, I hate that.
Anyways there are a lot of cool things that you can do on the Xbox that you cannot do on a PC. Plus everyone is entitled to their own opinions so please don't take what they are saying too seriously. Enjoy life, don't let people mess up a chance of happiness.

Can you please list some of these things? I know "struggling to run games 1080p 30fps" is on there but what else?

masterhand44I am getting one for christmas. Mostly to play Minecraft
Are you serious? Are you serious right now? Minecraft on consoles is terrible.
The controls are messed up. The game is still like as basic as it was in Beta.
Minecraft is a PC game. A $200 PC could run Minecraft in the state it's in on the xbox at a higher framerate with better settings.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh, but seriously? You're getting a $400 console to play a game optimized for PC?

SasukeUchiha2214halorules555TheGrim123321
I have a pc older then that, and it runs dos.
That's because gaming consoles were different back then. Your PC is less fragile because it's less complicated then modern computers. Just because you have had something longer than something newer doesn't mean it will live longer. I know it's sounds like I'm going back on my word but computers from the 80's are more complicated than consoles from the 90's.
Um... more complicated does not mean more fragile. It might mean if you like dropkick it it'll be more fragile, but mostly that doesnt decide if its more fragile.
The more complicated the more things that can go wrong. When I say complicated I mean there are more components smaller and weaker. It does actually make it more fragile.

Oh no im a nice person, you clearly stated you hated me first. So that kinda makes you the unnice person.
TheGrim123321n8moCheesyRiceI have an Xbox One, and I really like it. Sure, it's not as powerful as a PC but it's still fun to play the games only for it like Forza. (Plus legends on Fifa)
You are the first person from the PC club that didn't recommend a build to him.
I applaud you, I hate all of these people that give part lists to people that have gotten or will be getting consoles.[/quote
And we hate you to, peasant filth.
I'm not "peasant filth" I have a PC. I just understand the appeal behind consoles. I'm also a nice person, unlike you.

It's a fact that consoles can last longer. The Nintendo 64 was made in 1996 and I just happen to have one that works.

I wanted to avoid this thread, because we all know how it's gonna end but this, what do you even mean more complicated? And more fragile? I'm confused at what you're trying to get at.
While I agree trying to help is nice, and we all do it, some people get out of hand doing it. I'd like to point out the benefits of owning a PC over a console, but most likely OP has already gotten the gift, so too late now. But OP, I would like you to know that building a PC is very simple, and will save you money in the long run. Games are cheaper, you do not have to upgrade for every title, and you do not need to spend more than 600-700 to max out every game at 1080p.
Also guys, this is not the best place to be calling people peasants.... I'd ease back on that....

HELLO This thread is about xbox one not a fight about console vs pc

Nor is it as powerful as the PS4. Hehehe, Xbox is the weakest right now =9

Meh. I bought an Xbone with my brother, Mainly for Forza Horizon 2, Forza 5, and Fifa 15 (legends). I don't really play any games that you can get on PS4 the same way, so we went with Xbone.

And you call your self a member of the PC group. Peasant Filth. (JK I play PS3, but PC is better)

Legit the first xbox has not much diffrent hard ware from the xbox one.

halorules555SasukeUchiha2214Well Nintendo products are a completely different story. But with todays consoles, they wont be able to run modern games (even though games will get slowed down by console to make them run) after 3 years, and will break after 6. A pc of the same price will be able to run modern games for 5 years, wont break till 10+ years.
Modern consoles are more complicated leading them to be more fragile. But if you treat it well enough you could exceed expectations.
More complicated? Whats more complicated? The potato hardware from 2010?

You must have a pretty bad experience. My dad has had his PC for about 8 years now and runs most games well, the more modern ones it stuggles with at low setting, I keep telling him its time to upgrade but he keeps saying he can get a couple of more years out of it, and hes probably right.

samus0374Ok ok ok, so what all you pc dudes are saying, is that you can build a PC thats better than the Xbox One for the same price... Tell me how running games like BF4 and COD Advanced Warfare on this amazing machine goes, i'm sure they'll work just fine.
BF4 requirments
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz, AMD Athlon X2 2.8 GHz or better

n8moCharliechoTheGrim123321*throws up* You can build a pc for the same price, that is alot better.
Lol he's talking about an Xbox One, not a PC. So leave. I'm tired of going to posts about consoles and stuff just to see people telling them to get/build a PC. If they want a console, they want a console. Very different from a PC. I prefer PC, but when someone is talking about Xbox or PlayStation, I don't go out and say "g3t a pc, it b3tt3r den dat" cause not everyone wants a PC.
This.
I seriously wish that PMC would put a ban on posts slandering consoles/macs/laptops, it's getting out of hand.
No, then most people would waste money and people would be less educated on what they are getting. I find it helpful, I would just ignore them if you dont like the posts so much.

If he says he is getting one, Theres no point to having him build one. He is probably getting it as a gift and he found out or someone told him, I am not exactly sure but that is usually how it is in my family.
