Hi guys. I have just bought a 360 off the Internet and i was looking forward to using it to play Bioshock. However i have just tried the Bioshock demo on my PC and it looks gorgeous (on a widescreen monitor to boot). The only games i really want on the 360 are Oblivion, Gears of War, Condemned, Bioshock and Mass Effect and all of them have been announced for the PC (except for Mass Effect which will probably end up on the PC anyway).

Do you think i should return the 360, or is it worth keeping? What does it have coming up that wont be playable on a half decent gaming PC?

my vote is yes, your argument is very compelling and you should return it.

so "jump out"

P.S. I like feeding trolls :)

Return it while you can. Selling a used 360 is not an easy task.

I'm gonna be as blunt as humanly possible... getting rid of your 360 is the worst move you could make... So many amazing games and amazing online... Put it this way, the competition has come out a year after the 360 and they've yet to touch the 360 on any level... I can't believe your even considering it...

I'd keep it. Then again, I'm really enjoying mine. So I suppose there is some bias here. (FYI- I'd say the same thing if it was concerning the Wii or the PS3. Why the heck not keep it?)

If your having second thoughts after you bought it then you should return it, because maybe deep down you did not really want it and just got caught up in the hype.

I guess its a lesson for all of us, we should really think before we buy stuff.

I also have TP, Resi 4, Strikers Charged Football and Trauma Center but I can't sell them because my brother likes them. I just bought the wrong console. To be honest I would swap all that but I'm waiting for those Falcon chips.

You bought a brand new360 and are willing to trade it in for a used wii? :| Not only that but you own a PC, and bought a 360 only to trade it in shortly after your purchase just before Halo 3 comes out. :|

#1 Your lying, you just wanted to flame bait

#2 You are an incompatant consumer

Well its all opinion but No you shouldn't return it. First off there are some great games that you won't experience all ready out. Dead Rising, Forza 2, Saints Row, Dead or Alive 4, Kameo..... Then looking into the future.. The games that come to the PC usually come out alot later.

Wait, its not new. So it's maybe that your buying a 360 from someone else who had second thoughts about it and conned you into buying a system he did not really want. I'm sorry but I think you got played. Return it.

If you only want to play the games you listed then of course it's worth selling. How badly do you want to play Mass Effect? Because you'll probably have to wait a year for that one. What about Halo3? If you have any interest in that game you'll probably have to wait over a year before you can play that on PC.

360 is a great console, but if you already own a decent PC then they're aren't all that many games for it that you can't get for your PC. I think the best combo is a good PC+PS3. Unfortunately my PC is crap so I have 360+PS3.

Yes, by all means return it and use the proceeds as part of your investment into a brand new PS3. You are obviously a radical hermit trolling. When you also become a trolling cow, you will then be twice as entertaining to the rest of us who come here to read fanboy ranting for fun.

You should return it, especially if it's old. Who knows if it has already gone through the RROD or not. Plus, it sounds like you have your selection of games for the PC anyway.

It sounds like you already made up your mind. Go sell your 360 you bought off the internet or put this in your blog

Just bought at the end of 2006 PC and have a second thoughts. Since then the only one game that I could play on PC was STALKER and this one was far from awesome. On X360 I played Crackdown, GRAW 2, Guitar Hero 2, Darkness, Forza 2 and spent on each of them a lot of time. Played DIRT a bit and to get same as X360 framerate and quality on PC you need at least GF 8800

Just wonder what the point to have PC for games. Anyone?

That and a bundle is probably on the way. Best to wait a tad bit longer for that 360.

i guess you can if you want to i think mass effect is worth it personally and i would stay with the 360 because of mass effect but i guess you cant go wrong either way
