Having a PC is enough now anyway since you can play a large number of 360 games on it.

That would have just been a PC. X360 is basically an outdated version of today's up to spec PC [similar architecture], hence why they share alotta games.

It would be a low - med end gaming computer, lacking features of a normal computer.

Fantastic!

The 360 isa just the mega downgraded version of PC...

There is no need for PC 360 when you can just just about everything the 360 with a beefed up PC.

Guess what. All of the consoles are. All of them are extremely outdated versions of current PC hardware.

xbox 360 & Ps3 may be outdated hardware wise but man the games look good, Gears of War, DMC4 etc

you simply get more bang for your buck with a console.e

thats why i think a PC360 would be great, the PC itself is specifically a high end rig- great for Crysis, Medieval Total war etc while if you want to switch over to play a console exclusive game u can do so. also in a 3 years time when u might not wana upgrade ur PC- but u can still play the latest X360 games.

I can see why it was never built- market clashes, cost etc

Your Avatar is awesomeness lol!!! And as for a 360PC i'd think it's useless considering the games for 360 usually go to the PC anyways, but hey who knows!

So it would have been an expensive machine with a 30% failure rate? Great combo.
