Bad news if it's going to happen.

That's how I read this too. From what I've read on John Carmack's ideas of consoles porting, so far I only saw that "they weren't planned yet, and he could only see the Xbox as a viable platform to make a reasonable port in terms of hardware". By any means, making a Console exclusive port of Doom3 "Only On Xbox" has no effect on the games PC-status.

"XBox is more or less a PC (x86) with a stripped down Windows, and a modified USB port (at least the connector) and some other modifications, so don't worry."
HA ! I should know, as that's the sole reason why I bought one. My DVD player died a couple of months ago, so I bought an Xbox, modded it, and installed Xboxmediaplayer on it. Not entire bugfree as yet, but it already does an amazing job playing anything from VCD, SVCD, DivX, ....... to DVD of course. Best thing is, I found a Samsung 606-equipped Xbox, so it reads any kind of cd/dvd you throw at it and not _just_ DVD and CDRW. And with network support, I can stream videos from my PC even using a WAN port. In terms of flexible "abusable" hardware, the Xbox is quite a nice machine I say.

ROFL.
You actually thought that it WOULDN'T be on the PC?
Carmack has HOW much money already, you think MS can buy his allegiance? ROFL.
Ok, as for exclusive ports, the PS2 hasn't got the juice to run Doom3 unless it were turned way down, and GameCube hasn't got the storage capacity unless you put it on multiple discs... so MS is wasting their money. But hey, let them spend it.
I have spoken.

He's playing PC games on a 22" CRT so no need for a big tv-set.
I already have a EPIA M9000 box for video - but the high quality DivX and Xvid can't be played (video and sound out of sync).
Via is working on a solution for MPEG4. Let's see how long it will take.
The EPIA is equipped with a DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) card, so I can record the programs available via satellite - this wouldn't work with the XBox.cu/2 magog - Germany - flying with OS/2 Warp speed...in a vehicle named eComStation (eCS)
