This is a serious topic. I am a PC gamer. Any game thats out on all platforms i will pick up on the PC. I also have a PS3.

However you can get a 360 for £100 (http://www.trustedreviews.com/gaming/news/2008/10/03/Xbox-360--Now-Just--100-at-Sainsbury-s/p1). So here is the question, is it worth buying. Its the arcade version, and give me some games that are out the 360 i will never get on the PC or Ps3

Actually, the 360 has more exclusives (games that aren't on PC neither) than the PS3.

Consoles have all the hype games and the xbox is leading the consoles.

Its all about whether you wanna be in the lime light, enjoying the commercial success of the games that get all the attention...or if you want to be in a dark room on your own with a knowledge that although no one cares, you are better.

I don't know about you but I like sports games, racers, fighters and the PC is lacking quality in that department.

Forza 2, NBA 2K9, Fifa 2009, Madden, Soul Calibur, Street Fither IV, Virtua Fighter 4, Dead or Alive 4, NHL 09, Geometry Wars, Braid, Project Gotham, and don't forget all those nice arcade games.

I can't give you a single reason. Apart from experiencing one RROD after another, there isn't anything more to the 360. You've got the PS3, so why worry?

The PS3 is not as cool as the xbox. The PS3 is slightly racist as you can only get it in black. It is backwards opinions like that, that is causes problems in the world.

funny, just yesterday she asked if I could stay extra next week. :P My thought was: hmm, maybe I'll get lunch instead of bringing that day :o Not: I should buy a video game. Sometimes, my own... seeking for value gets a bit ridiculous.

Oops,typo:

MOST high rated 360 games (well,mostly ) are shooters,shooters are better on PC

And gears1 also said not be coming for Xbox,but hey look,it did O.o! i think gears 2 might,Halo 3 has a chance,you never know :roll:

seriously as bloody if gears 2 and fable 2 wont end up on pc there is just no way they wont, it might be a year later but it will happen and in the mean time you have the fallout 3s and crysis games to keep the pc just fine, ever since I upgraded my PC my 360 is getting more and more useless

You really dont need a 360 if you have a good PC

I'm kinda thinking the same thing, they're practically giving the arcades away, so why not? But then I start thinking that I don't have a HDTV, I wouldn't like to pay for live, and arcade is the poor man's console. So maybe it would just be smarter to use that little money to improve my PC experience instead of going for a crippled console experience.

Well if you live in a cold area you can buy one and use it like a heater because with that oveheat problems, will make you stay very confortable in your hause with a good temperature and playing the PC while the 360 do his job.
