XBOX on the computer - Page 2

This is what I saw on the UK tv gameshow gamezville. Someone asked the same question and this was the reply:

A standard TV can run at UPTO 800x600 resolution, while computer moniters can run much higher (eg 1280x768) so that is why games on the PC look much clearer than console games played on a TV. And that is also why Nintendo have said that there new console (revolution) will be able to be played on PC moniters.

YES YOU CAN!

This post reminds me of a TV show I watch. Stargate SG-1. In one of the episodes, an advanced alien race (way more advanced than us) come to our planet seeking our help, the humans are really astonished to see this, how could such an advanced alien race be asking for our help when we are so inferior... The answer was:

"Our race has evolved so much that we're no longer capable of thinking on simpler ways" In few words, they needed STUPID HUMANS help.

In this thread I've seen all these technical explanations that don't answer the question, and I'm the stupid human who will help these "advanced aliens."
