If you were given $2000....

And told to buy only one of these, some accessories, and some games, which would you choose? And why?

Gaming PC

Xbox 360

PS3

Wii

EDIT: doesnt matter if you already own them, you have been stripped away from all of these

Gaming pc easily.

360 or a PS3 cause i like it, theres nothing else you can really say bout these kind of topics is that everyone will just inevitably pick their preferrred option..

PC

Who wouldnt?

build a gaming pc with gtx 580, i52500k for about $1300 and save the rest of the $700 for the steam holiday sales and get hundreds of games for cheap

I would put the $2000 in my savings and keep playing my 360.ZombieKiller7

PC, because I'm not stupid. I could build a great PC for $1000, get a nice keyboard/mouse, and spend the rest on games. Which happen to be not as expensive as console games(well, most of them)

I love how NO one is saying WHY they chose what they chose....its even in the OPkris9031998

360. i recently started playing 360 regualry so i would like to build the library up.

xbox 360 and games

But I would buy a gaming PC, though preferably I would buy the parts for it. It has the best library this gen, and has some of my favorite games as well such as Mount and Blade, STALKER, StarCraft 2, Guild Wars: Trilogy (most of its campaigns came out this gen... so) as well as having a lot of games I am looking forward to such as Diablo 3, ArcheAge, Starcraft 2 expansions, Guild Wars 2 and dont forget it can play games from previous gens, has the best multiplats for most of the part and can do a lot of other stuff such as typing documents, ect.

Edit: with that said, I would miss my Wii.

The Pc will get me the most out of the $2000.

That's enough for a build with a sandy bridge, an HD 6990 and three 1080p monitors for Eyefinity! Plus i'd probably have enough for a good 10 games on Steam.

On the console what would I get for my 2,000? A $300 console, with inferior graphics, no mods, poor performance, having to deal with discs, and what? A few extra controllers? The rest of the money would go to waste and I'd end up with a crappy gaming platform.

Most people's objection to PC gaming isn't that it sucks - it's that it's expensive. This mitigates that issue, so I don't know whyanyone would pick the cheapo, inferior platform, except to score "points" in the argument.

tbh thats the least of my worries as a gamer, sometimes i think of some people on this board like audiophiles who think their way is always best and must be the best equipment.

I'd buy a Macbook Pro and an iTouch.

Realistically I'd probably spend 300-400 on games and put the rest in the bank. I already have all of those but the 360, so I'd probably buy a Mac Mini or Macbook Air (11" or 13", not sure yet). But from that list, the gaming PC definitely. I always want to have a decent PC, so that's an easy choice.

I'd buy a Macbook Pro and an iTouch.

both can be used for gaming though and both have their own respective scenes why should they not be included?

I never said they werent, but an itouch can be catagorized as a handheld.

I'm honestly having a hard time choosing between a gaming PC or an Xbox 360..

I already spent 2000 on my PC, so I'd probably go on a holiday or something.

Why aren't previous gen consoles available? I'd rather pick up a PS2 and stock up on dozens of RPGs for it and PSX and enjoy myself to the fullest.

Or perhaps a DS? Same thing, more RPGs for me.

From that list... I don't know, I'd have to go with PS3 (again, a decent selection of older gen RPGs available).

I would go on Dell's website and go apes*** nuts :D. DethSkematik

I believe the proper term is "apes*** bananas":P

I'd buy a PS3 and buy all the games I want the most and also save some for my anticipated games, then I'd buy a Gaming PC and a bunch of games for it and theeeeeeen I'd buy an Xbox 360 and buy the games I want the most. 8)

A gaming PC would be the obvious choice but I could get all of them with that money.

But yeah,a gaming PC with a ton of games from steam.
