i think if you live by yourself, the computer is more fun... but if you always have a lotta people over, the 360 might be a better choice
In my opinion X360 is the future console for games. X360 have not requirements for games but new games for PC have very high system requirements like R6:Vegas, Splinter Cell Double Agent :)
Well if you are bored of PC games and Xbox games interest you then I think it's an obvious choice.

Yes but consoles are stuck in time (DX9, hardware updates almost impossible) compared to PCs that get updated and get all the juicy new graphics and etc.

Um want my advise, get a job lol get both :D Ive got 3 Pc's a 360 along with a 50 LG HDTV and belive me you dont want to be out with ANY of them, so my advise is just earn the money another way and btw for that price what are you actually selling??
get the 360.
I think now is the wrong time to be buying a new PC if you want it to be "future-proof". Save your money for when the dust settles on DX10, Vista, etc. Don't buy a 360 thinking it'll fix your gaming boredom woes, it has nothing new to offer, won't even be able to play PC titles such as Crysis (ffs...) and the graphics are going to look sorely dated next to your mate's PC who wisely chose the PC gaming route.
Uh huh but it'll cost a boat load.Quote:

Games like Gears of War, Lost Planet, etc are kickass and there are more to come.
X360
xbox 360
xbox for gears of wars :)
PC.... i dont like the consols :(
Xbox 360 with a HD connection. It's all about the controller and xbox live.
i think PC is better
Pc Ftw :d
Pc!!!!
Pc!!!!
Pc!!!!
like one of the first posts says... if you got friends over alot... go for the xbox360!!.. I find multiplayer in the living room with the big screen is just way better game! as far as the graphx go though. the PC is king!.. a good graphx card costs as much as the xbox360 itself!! there is also alot more for the PC than the xbox360 - that goes without being said... I would get both if you dont have it already!a good pc with graphx card/monitor is a grip so be prepared to pay more for the better shit.
I have to disagree, he could go with a cheap dx9 card and then in about 8 months when DX10 and the games really hit he could pick up a DX10 card for a few hundred bucks. He may not be able to get a system that will run everything maxed out, but it'll run it good enough. For PCs you can't assume someone is going to buy the top of the line stuff, especially when nothing is out that uses it yet (DX10) It's safer to assume that they will wait till the game/product that needs it is out, and by that time the price on the hardware will have dropped to a more reasonable buy.Quote:

Yeah I used to play PC games mostly until the console games got better and the PC didn't get enough great games anymore.Quote:

Have you seen God Of War 2? That on a damn PS2?!
If consoles would get much better games and easier config for them then consoles wouldn't have a chance. As it stands, consoles have a great market for those reasons.
M$ seems to be trying to remedy this with Vista. I would absolutely love to have a gaming PC (supersmall case) and be able to pop a game in, cut it on, and get to playin'.
I honestly don't know why this wasn't done a long time ago. Now because of the Xbox being around, it will probably never be.
Hell I think I'm going to buy a Wii for the exercise.:dabs:
i,m into mmorpgs so has to be a pc and it also allows me to use pc as a media center too. If you got the extra money i would go with a pc.
I'd go for another PC if you wont have one to use. So many more things to do. If you entertain on a regular basis though, x360 is the way to go!
x360!!!!
Most definatlyQuote:

i'm not a console fan, but everyone shall admit that sony knows this job better than others.And ps3 will show it's power within 1 year.
PC for sure
Surely Nintendo know the job better than the others, them having been making consoles for a brazillion years. :dabs:Quote:
