A very tough decision to make...

Well if it's grpahics v/s gameplay, I would say choose the one with game.

But, personally I think PC has better games than 360

Okay by the end of this week, I could get either a PC or a Xbox 360. I like the Xbox360 because it has better games but the PC has better graphics. I already own a Nintendo Wii and its a great party console but playing any single player game on it sucks big time. Thus now I'm choosing between the PC or Xbox360 as my primary gaming nut.Click_Clock

Simple, if you don't like RPG's much, then get a PC. Oh, and Powercharge, care to explain how just 1 game holds more players than PSN and XBL combined? You're like Sony' little helper who lies all the time.

Bash me if you want. I do believe that consoles have better RPG's than PC's. Considering that I've played classics like Baldur's Gate 2, Planescape Torment and so on. But the last good RPG that I played on a PC was KOTOR and that was a long time ago. I also consider Oblivion to be a good RPG but it didn't last for me, felt like a singleplayer MMORPG.

Well can you name console RPGs excluding JRPG that you liked? ( I agree PC doesn't have many JRPGs)

360 has better games!!!get 360 you will love it..like every 1 who has itJonster

This thread tends to disagree.

pc fans dont understand...get a 360

A lot of these should I get a PC or 360 threads are popping up lately....Danm_999

Seriously, is it because of GeoW ?? If ME comes to pc then 360 would become almost useless for many people.

I have a 360, I don't play it nearly as much as my PC.

Got a more substantial argument there?

[QUOTE="Danm_999"]A lot of these should I get a PC or 360 threads are popping up lately....naval

I'm thinking so.

If you already have a HDTV or a good SDTV, with a decent sound system and like gaming from your couch, then get a 360. I'd personally go for the Elite.

There are a lot of PC games, but I'm finding it hard to find a lot of good ones that interest me. I like driving games and so far Dirt and GTR2 are the only ones that are ok, fortuneately they work ok with my 360 controller. FPS aren't really a problem and I'm enjoying HL2 a lot more the 2nd time through than I did the first.

The biggest problem I've had with buying a new PC is that quite a few games don't work with Vista and I've wasted quite a bit of money finding out which one don't. I still live in hope that patches will be released, but at the moment I have 3 games gathering dust.

The games I'd buy a 360 for are:

Dead Rising

Forza 2

Crackdown

GeoW

Guitar Hero 2 (must buy)

The Darkness

R6 Vegas

GRAW / GRAW2

Spliner Cell DA

Kameo

Pro Evo 6

and in the future

Halo 3

Mass Effect

PGR4 (must buy, super cars Vs Motor bikes :D )

Ace Combat 6

Blue Dragon

Trusty Bell

Assassins Creed

Bioshock

RE5

GTA IV

VF5

CoD4

etc etc

Guitar Hero 2 (must buy)

SgtWhiskeyjack

Notice how the ONLY game you gave the MUST BUY to was a PS2 port?

Says a lot about 360...and about johnny come lately's that waited 2 years + to play such an awesome game.

Just funny to me.

What can I say, it's a awesome game and I'm really enjoying it. I don't see it as a port though, after all the PS2 has GH2, that's not a port of GH is it?

hi,

actually i own a Pc (not so bad rig) but im thinking about buying a 360 regarding the numerous games that are out soon, HD and such, tho u need that all hd stuff to fully enjoy it.

So my 2 cents : get both, if you can.

Your first mistake was to not even put the PS3 in your mix.

360 - unless you find a PC @ 299.99 that will play Gears the way 360 plays Gears and also play Halo 3 in a few weeks along with Forza 2 which is already available and M.E. , Too Human, Blue Dragon ect. available in a few months.

You could get a 360 and a reasonable priced Lap Top and you have both you're business and game needs covered- then you have the best of both worlds!

So many more reasons ( games lol ) but the above reasons should have already convinced you; a 360 is in you're future lol.

He'll need at least $450-$460 to play Gears of War, and for a few hundred extra then he can just upgrade his existing PC.

If you think a 600.00 - 700.00 PC with controller is going to play Gears PC with the same level of graphics and co-op - you're fooling yourself and the TC.

He can't even save with the Core system in most situations, nor can he download content! The AAA experience would be a little blunted by the fact he can't save his game each time he plays software.

And yes, as long as you have the basics (ie, a monitor, tower, KB/M), which I assume he has, he will be able to play Gears of War, as well as the plethora of other PC AAA exclusives, for under $1000 dollars. (Especially easy since your pricing assumes no HDTV, and a sub $1000 PC can easy match the 360 on an SDTV).

Okay -even at 399.99 ( premium 360 ) - there is no way in hell a 400.00 PC with all that the 360 comes ( wireless controller, component cables ) with ready to play and all the DL content available will be on any level equivalent to the 360 gaming experience !

Now through in the dozens of games for 360 avail. now and in the next few months - it's a no brainer by my account - 360 for games is the way to go and a Lap Top for business needs works great all for under 1000.00 so... Just Saying.

Ahh the old you cant save thing lol - yeah I knew that would come but my statement is still fact; you can play but not save lol.SecretPolice

What good is that then!? He's not asking to just play things, he'd want to have a proper experience.

It's just that, there are more games available on the PC, as well as several of the 360's best games.

I think you really have to stretch to act as though the 360 library now and into the near future is somehow out done in the same time line when compared to the PC.

Also - PC has just got Halo 2 - I'm moving on to Halo 3 - see what I mean? Same for Gears and more then likely M.E. !

The 360 games offering is not something you can put down without losing some cred. IMHO.

How so? Both this year and last, PC had more AAA and AA exclusives than the 360, not to mention multiplats were better on PC the majority of the time.

And while 360 exclusives may not come to PC for a year or two, PC has it's own exclusives (and more of them, as I've said) to fill that gap. Halo 3? Crysis and STALKER. Mass Effect? Dragon Age and Hellgate London. Halo Wars? Starcraft 2 and Company of Heroes.

Go ahead and try to play any of the games you listed on a 300.00-400.00 PC - yeah try b/c you and I both know you are not going to get the AAA experience - hell you would be lucky if the game even started up without crashing the PC lmao.

End the debate? You haven't even proven to me the 360 has a better library.

When have I said the PC would be the same price? I haven't, you just keep attacking a position I haven't taken, because it's the only way your weakened argument is going to hold up.

Yes, you need to pay a few hundred more (of course, in the long term it squares out with the cost of XBL and the inflated price of 360 software), but in return you get access to a system with a much larger and better library, which includes many of the 360's must have games. The system is also much, much more versatile than the 360, and plays any multiplat better unless the developer has screwed up a port.

Also, using "lol" and "lmao" too much makes your argument look shallow.

You have an opinion and thats okay but you are wrong !

The thread has everything to do with price and you trying to say it does'nt makes you're argument flimsy and unworkable for the question at hand - which to buy a PC or 360 is that question.

Again, I dont have to prove the 360 library is great - the games speak for themselves and many here would doubt you're candor should you repeatedly dismiss it which makes you look like a fanboy not to say you are but the appearance is there.

I repeat, none of the this gen AAA games for PC will play like AAA games on a 300-400 PC ! Should you keep trying to fight that fact then I cant take you serious.

You act like paying a " few hundred more " is nothing but it goes to the heart of the matter - is price not what is driving the Wii sales?

And using the lol, or lmao is so that someone like you does not take this all too serious as I do not - its a gaming forum - ok.

i say PC.

xbox 360 has its hardware problems and PC hasa few great games coming up.

You have an opinion and thats okay but you are wrong !SecretPolice

Yes, but using it too frequently looks stupid.

Depends on which games you wan't to play more this year.... PC -Crysis, Hellgate London, UT3: 360 -GTA4, Halo, Mass Effect. Although most of those games are likely to beavailable on both platforms in the future.
