That's complete bullshit, DX10 doesn't even run on a 360, but it's required for the PC version. wtf is that?

Oh well, fuck it. I guess they don't want my money.

It is microsofts move, the more games that require dx10 the more users that have to buy a new os, at least thats my theory

Because the PC version can be cranked up and look much nicer.   This might come as a surprise. But PC is different then 360 in a few aspects and will require different stuff!  "

You can hack it into DX9 only mode if you're really that angry.

Yes, that is why it pisses me off.

  The 360 version basically uses dx9, they could have left that mode in easily. "

It looks much better on PC and it uses x10. Stop getting all mad and just get it for another system  "

You're going to have to move on soon. Games aren't going to stay on DX9 forever. DX11 is already out. This, coupled with the fact that Microsoft has released two more Windows versions, means that you are just behind. Eventually XP is no longer going to be supported, so sitting here complaining about technology moving forward isn't going to help you at all.

 I used it for a new vidya card.  I'll upgrade when I get a new system. My wife uses 7, I like it. My problem is them stripping it out so MS can sell more in7. "

There are no DX 9 or DX 10 on consoles you silly sauce.

Can someone explain to me what DirectX10 is? I checked the wiki but it was late and I couldnt comprehend it

There are good reasons for moving to a dx10/11 platform., and a good chunk of those reasons don't revolve around graphical features  That being said I'm not going to even try to reason with you.

360 is based off dx8. No it's not exactly the same, but it close to it. "

XP has to go eventually dude. I mean, how long do you expect an OS to last? It's had a good run. I don't expect my Windows 7 to last until 2018. 

DX10 is not a program or a tool set.  It's an API (application programming interface), or rather a collection of them.
 
In layman's terms what DX10 does is tells your GPU, CPU, and many other components of your computer what to do.  A game or application 'talks' to DX10, DX10 'talks' to your hardware's drivers, then those drivers 'talk' to your hardware.  The reason for this is so programmers don't have to program a game to directly talk to every possible piece of hardware / driver out there.
 
A console like Xbox or PS3 doesn't have to use DirectX, OpenGL or any other non-console API if they don't want to.  As consoles usually have a single hardware make, or just a handful, it's much more efficient to just use APIs and drivers built just for the game / console.
 
As such few console games ever use PC APIs, and even when they do they're customized versions.  MS has a DX-like system in the 360, but it's not the same thing that's running on any PC.
 
One can say the Xbox 360 is fully DirectX9 compliant because of the hardware features the GPU has.  Look up concepts such as pixel shaders if you want to understand that path better.  Suffice it to say 360 goes a bit beyond DX9 functionality on PC.

The Wii and PS3 use openGL where as the Xbox 360 DOES use DX10 and DX9 or at least some weird xbox derivatives.

JC2 is the only game that you won't be able to run on XP right now, so you still have time to upgrade.
 
BTW guys, MS will be releaseing security updates for XP until 2014. That's 4 years from now and by then Windows 9 will probebly be out. Stop saying it like MS will cancel XP support tomorrow.
