I do both quite equally. This generation I am most likely going PC + Wii + DS which will give me access to the most, best exclusive games I can get my hands on. It will also give me access to games with the best graphics and custom user created content as well as the most unique and quirky games I can get my hands on.foxhound_fox
you and me both :) I Already own a DS and a nice PC. Now the only thing that I want is a Wii, but I'll wait untill Fire Emblem gets released before buying it.
[QUOTE="trix5817"][QUOTE="oldskooler79"]Well I know 360 and PS3 is HD but not Wii, and I think PC may not be either but don't quote me. Either way, 360 or PS3 is your safest surefire bet to HIGH RES gaming which is sweet! 8)oldskooler79
That other guy that said PC's can't do HD in this thread was joking (I've seen him post before, he's a PC gamer I believe). But this guy, I don't know........
I was totally joking trix. LOL
Yeah, I was hoping you were. You got me worried.
I tend to play everything, but if a game is on the consoles and the PC (like Elder Scrolls) I go for the PC version. For Mods and etc.
[QUOTE="MyopicCanadian"]My Xbox 360 sits right beside my PC. I play them on the same desk, use the same chair and same monitor for both :) And I switch between them all the time. e.g., yesterday I got home to play some Shadowrun, then went online with a friend for Forza 2 with my wheel (which takes about 30 seconds to set up), and then when I realized the time, I switched to my PC to get ready for our CS:Source CAL match... which we won. woot
I started off playing both PC games and console games, though around the days of SNES I would play a lot more console, and around the PS2 era I played almost exclusively PC. Right now is a great mix, since there are great games on both platforms I own.

I use the exact same setup. It gets annoying switching the cables, but every KVM box I've tried makes the image ghost, so it's my only option. It's still nice to be able to switch platforms so easily now, though.
What type of monitor and sound setup do you have? I have an LCD with VGA and DVI and I switch between them using a button on the monitor. For my speaker system, the 360 uses optical and my PC uses analog and coax. It's a lot easier than switching cables around :)

You have a much nicer setup. I have a 19' LG CRT Beast that I should replace, butthe pic quality is still so good I don't want to let her go. I'm using the optical out on my PC into my Yamaha Surround system. So basically I need to swap out the VGA, Ethernet, and optical cable from one to the other everytime I want to play. Not so much a hassle, I'm more worried about the wear on the connectors and ports from the frequent switching.
I'm going to eventually spend the money on a nice KVM box that also has optical ports on top of the video, so switching from one to the other is as easy as the simple push of a button. Too bad those boxes cost about $200.
