well, I bought a pc for at least 800 canadian, and it ran all my games on high quality. It has a modified 7600gt which was capable of playing ALL my games on highest quality and high res with no problem to this day.  So I think a good, well layed out system (if you choose the right parts) will be much better then a console.

Why does that piss you off? Sorry but I would rather spend that money on my PC as well, and yes, I do have a 360 too. Get your panties out of a bunch.

As for the actual topic, I spent $150 upgrading my GPU, money well worth spent on a X1950pro, that happens to treat my 360 like tramp.

A few thousand, only because I rarely buy a whole new PC, instead I upgrade each piece of my PC when it lags behind. I've been upgrading this PC for years. This week a bought a new 20" Samsung monitor for $250 and the last update before that was a x1900xt for $200 3 or 4 months ago. Next update will probably be a new motherboard, CPU and RAM in a few months.

How do you like the X-fi so far? I've been thinking of upgrading for sometime now, are there different models to be on the lookout for?

Can the 360 manage spreadsheets?  host a server?  write a research paper?  Do your taxes?  Manage your bank account?  Chat online at 70wpm?  Manage and install programs? Browse the web, and actually stream video and audio?   Manipulate images and video?  Sell your xbox360 on ebay?  

The pc has a full qwerty keyboard and a mouse for precision aiming in FPS's.  

Ohh I think a pc can play games as well...Not to mention the great RTS games.  Online multiplayer is much better on PC.

The setup in my sig ran a little under $1,000 in June 2006 when I built it (couple things not listed). Haven't upgraded it since, but I'm really feeling the lack of 2GB RAM..reckon that will be my next upgrade as RAM is so cheap right now.

That is the best argument there is available.

And as for the topic, I am not really sure.  I usually build an 1100 dollar rig every three years then spend 300 dollars between there for a hard drive, graphics card, sound card, etc.
