A 9800M GT you mean.  Technically a laptop would need to be even higher because the mobile counterparts to the desktop cards are not equal in power.

Also, the games true res may be low, but the Xbox 360 and PS3 scale them internally and still output an image that is 1080p.  Where did you friend happen to get a $600 laptop at retail that has a 9800M GT in it?  Lowest I have seen to have such a card was $1000.  Also, where are the links to those $500 retail PCs that have a good video card?

A 9500GT cannot support gaming at high settings with AA enabled like the 360 can, so don't try to give me one of those PC configs.  I'll lower it and say a 9600GT/HD4670 minimum.

Also, the Xbox 360 is striving to be an entire social networking experience in and of itself.  That's why it has Facebook and Twitter and all these other great features built in/added in.  PC's can do them to, yeah, but this is a unique experience designed to take advantage of the living room and the larger TV.

Still waiting...

Well, I'm not going to speak to your whole point... but your argument that the PS3 and 360 are somehow superior because they internally scale to 1080p is meaningless.  Any LCD-type television would do that for them, and scaling inevitably makes things look WORSE, not better.  A 600p image will look best scaled to 600p, not anything else.

I'm sorry but you are wrong.  The scaling capabilities built into consoles is much greater than that in an LCD TV.  Oh and good luck getting your LCD TV to upscale your computer's image.
