I have a high end PC and a 360 so what reason do i need for a 360?

Viva pinata - 360 only

Crackdown - 360 only

Tiger woods - better on 360

Saints row - Console only

Dead or alive - 360 only

PGR3 - 360 only

Burnout revenge - Console only

COD3 - Console only, and its unlikey you will see a PC version regardless of what PCgamer says.

Dead rising - 360 only

Ridge racer - console only

GeoW - Will make it to PC no doubt but how long are you willing to wait? By the time the PC version comes out it will be 18 months old.

Apart from crackdown i own all these and you will find only COD3, the only FPS

Is this not reason enough to own a 360?

well..there sure are some reasons to get 360 even if you have pc, but honestly..it's the last console to buy for most pcgamers...even psp is better choiceAdrianWerner
Well, if it's a Media Center or Vista PC, there are great reasons to have both. I can bring up Media Center on my 360 wirelessly, and watch all movies on my hard drive regardless of file type or resolution. The 360 is a media center extender. Also, I can stream all my music in every game, show slideshows, surf the web, watch video podcasts, you name it. It's media functionality combines beutifully with a PC. Oh, and there will be a ton of games on the 360 that wont be released on the PC.

I thought the same thing. I loved my original xbox but I just can't justify spending $600 + games + xbox live for something where I can play 90% of its games on my good pc. This year I think if different. There is mass effect, halo 3, blue dragon and a fair few others that look REALLY good that are xbox 360 only so I think it'll be worth it then but seriously if you had a good pc in 06 it was a massive waste of money getting a 360 in my opinion.

Gears of war and halo 3 have not been announced for the PC and while halo 3 may come to the pc after several years, gears will likely not.

Besides, there are tons of other high rated games such as Kameo, Viva Pinata, etc.  Upcoming titles like Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, etc. to keep people entertained for hours.

I like PC gaming, but I have a 360 to satisfy my console needs.

I massively disagree.  There currently is no need to even own a ps3 if you have a good gaming PC.  You can even watch movies on your PC which is really the only use for a ps3 right now.

The PSP has been horrible IMO.  Just playing rehashed PS2 games on a portable.  Oh, the excitment.

The 360 has a very extensive gaming library that covers most genres well at this point, and has many more good titles coming to it.  It's the best next gen console to have at this time.

Simple, if you want to play Halo, Gears and Fable without waiting a few years. Plus you don't have to worry about recommended/optimal settings. Plus you can play co-op games with your friends on the same machine.

Reasons enough for me.:|

exclusives. as a pc gamer i only saw the wii as a console i wanted because the other 2 systems will have many games similar to pc. while ppl have gotten the wii to sorta work on pc it's the games that use the wii mote on the wii that seal the deal. i didn't want to just use to wii for fps's. in fact i have no plans on getting an fps for the wii for a long time. (though i will rent)

Or you could just rob a store!:roll:
cakeorrdeath


Buying the software and emulating the hardware is illegal now?

Wow... better get rid of Bleem... :roll:

I am not going to get a 360 until very late in the generation until all the kinks are worked out and there is a gigantic library to choose from.

Although PC gaming sale is sluggish, it is still the best for gaming. PC gaming just dominates when it comes to FPS, MMORG, RTS cause of the keyboard and mouse.

I'll save you the trouble of being told you can use a controller and a TV for PC gaming if you really want, and skip to the part where I tell you those things are widely regarded as preferences.

[QUOTE="XboxUnderground"]a good gaming PC isn't enough for the new PC games Epic says UT3 is being made to run at it's optimum settings on PCs that will come out a year after the game :lol:

Thats wrong. Epic said that the game will run great on high settings on good gaming PC's, and that to age the game well , there will be an Ultra setting for the new hardware coming out. Which is what most big shooters have done always. Look at Doom 3. It had an Ultra setting for 512 MB cards when there was none out when released. It's just so 2 years down the road the game will still look great. Thats good development if you ask me.

I doubt they are the preference of the mass majority, PC gamers always boast about their res capabilities, all that is lost if they game on TVs.

Yet if people are so dead set about playing on them, the option is there. Honestly, I don't like to mix and match, I like my KB/M and monitor on my PC, and my controller and HDTV for my 360.

Depends on personal preferance.

My cuz has his gaming 'Lan box' PC connected to his large HD TV + wireless mouse + Keyboard + 360 controller, and it pretty much topples any console out there. He has paired a Wii with it though :P

I just dont know when console fanboys will stop using 'the TV and couch argument'.
FFS that was debunked from the beginning - TV's and PCs have always been alble to be paired together - but only with HD TVs is it truly worth it.


Oh and to the fanboy fool who said UT3 would struggle on a high end PC.. Thats with:
2560x1600 resoltion compared the console 1280 X 720 - with Full AA, Highest detail, DX10, ect.
All that seems to confirm is that the console version is well and truly crushed.... Well I guess it always was...
Its UT for christ sake, where is Unreal Championship 3????????

I haven't seen anything about Halo 3 or Gear of War coming to the PC. Even Halo 2 didn't go to the PC. Games you won't be able to play on PC including Dead Rising, Crackdown, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, all the 2K sports games, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Lost Planet, Guitar Hero II, Winning Eleven 07, Fuzion Frenzy 2, Huxley, Def Jam Icon and lots and lots of other titles.  That's why you need an XBox 360. Plus you don't have to spend 30 mins loading the game just to find out it doesn't play right on your PC. :roll:

I love how the original TC claims that Gears of War is coming to PC...yet he has absolutely no supports for that or Halo 3. Could you stop making half as*ed assumptions please? It's a joke and makes you look desperate.

Gears of War, Too Human, Fable 2, Halo 3, Blue Dragon, Lost Odyssey, Lost Planet, Forza 2, Crackdown (looks very good by the demo), Cry on, Infinite Undiscovery, Halo Wars, Dead Rising, Mass Effect (also 360 exclusive, despite what fanboys wish), PGR4, etc. These are all exclusives...and there are more. Go and read for yourself. It's a joke to still be claiming this about the Xbox 360...or even an Xbox product in general. In the first year or so of the original Xbox's life, yes, i'd of agreed with you...but now? Please, you're delusional.

Oblivion is on 360 , and You can have Racing GOTY 2k6 , cause 360 clearly has Racing GOY 2007 with Forza 2. Outside of Crysis , Spore , and Hellgate London I see nothing on PC that blows me away and Crysis is a EA game which means its comming to consoles sooner or later.

I'm not sure what PES6 is.

Still, that's only a couple of games compared to that 12-15 I listed. There are way more titles NOT on the PC including Perfect Dark, Condemned, Kameo, PGR3, Burnout 3, Saint's Row, Viva Pinata, Dead or Alive 4, Rockstar Table Tennis, N3, etc, etc., etc.. LOTS of titles NOT on PC.

I'm talking about new titles. Oblivion is on XBox360. GTR is coming to XBox 360. How many people are still playing CoH? :lol: Anyways, those are all old games and not that talk of the town anymore.

  It's the best next gen console to have at this time.sonicare
at this time? Sure..altough both DS and PSP are better choices. But I doubt anyone buys console solely for what it has now. give it a year or two and 360 will be the absolutely worst console to have for Pcgamers

Simple, if you want to play Halo, Gears and Fable without waiting a few years. Plus you don't have to worry about recommended/optimal settings. Plus you can play co-op games with your friends on the same machine.

Reasons enough for me.:|

Spartan070

Plus sports games, fighters, racers, platformers and action-adventure games are all better on consoles imo

while this is generaly true, there are some exceptions to those rules :) sport games: PC does have much better sport managers, plus covers wider selection of sports than console does racers: in racing sims PC annihilates every console platformers: 2D platformers are now alive only in two places: PC and handhelds, they're dead on consoles

well..honestly by PC standarts neither forza and gran turismo are racing sims. they're not realistic enough. they're arcade-sims. compared to stuff like GTR 1-2, F1 challenge 99-02, Nascar Racing 2003, NetKar PRO, Live for Speed S2 or rfactor they're child's play. If you take GTR2 and put it on arcade settings you will get GT-level of realism.

:? Play GT 3 with the Logictec steering wheel, something tells me you never have. NO racer on the planet makes those two look like "childs play," I think the rest of the gaming world agrees with me.

[QUOTE="blackace"]Assassin's Creed isn't on PCStill, that's only a couple of games compared to that 12-15 I listed. There are way more titlesNOT on the PC including Perfect Dark, Condemned, Kameo, PGR3, Burnout 3, Saint's Row, Viva Pinata, Dead or Alive 4, Rockstar Table Tennis, N3, etc, etc., etc.. AdrianWerner
Assassins Creed IS COMING TO PC [url]http://pc.ign.com/articles/729/729414p1.html[/rl] Condemned is already on PC and it's better than 360 version and really...N3? :D

It is capable of better graphics but how is it better?

[QUOTE="Spartan070"][QUOTE="AdrianWerner"] well..honestly by PC standarts neither forza and gran turismo are racing sims. they're not realistic enough. they're arcade-sims. compared to stuff like GTR 1-2, F1 challenge 99-02, Nascar Racing 2003, NetKar PRO, Live for Speed S2 or rfactor they're child's play. If you take GTR2 and put it on arcade settings you will get GT-level of realism.

:? Play GT 3 with the Logictec steering wheel, something tells me you never have. NO racer on the planet makes those two look like "childs play," I think the rest of the gaming world agrees with me.

I did play GT3 and 4 on momo and trust me...play any of those I've named and you will see what I'm talking about. GT is nice, but it's very arcadish compared to best pc sims. if you take any of the best ones and put it on arcade setting( instead of realistic ones) you will get GT4-level of realism

the 360 gets more games than the PC does. For me though the most important thing is I can RENT games. I never seen a place rent PC games. I use gameznflix.com and I can have two games out at a time and keep them as long as I want no late fees for $13 a month. I am able to beat a lot of games this way, and that makes consoles important for me.

better graphics and controls = better version. Nothing big really, but enough to have it score higher

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="Thug_Pikachu"]its kinda pathetic that hermits are still on this "but but Gears might come to PC" :cry: crapThug_Pikachu
But it might. Just like Crysis might come to 360. Quit your Hermit hating, they've been nothing but reasonable in this thread.

Gears is a MGS game and Epic confirmed its staying on 360 . The last game made my Crytek ended up on a M$ and Nintendo console game.set.and match

FarCry never went on consoles. And Gears of War will go on PC. They've hinted at it. And they will want more money.

Farcry didn't go to consoles?:? When the 360 gets a watered down, altered version of Crysis I promise I won't say anything....

Yeah, I don't know where he got that from.

I am not considering small games that appear on pc like yahoo games, or little flash games. I am refering to blockbuster million dollar games.

And I get that from the amount of money developers spend on consoles especially 360 vs how much they spend on developing for PC. The PC sales are much lower than the consoles. Although I guess PC does get more games lots of those games obviously did not cost as much to make as the money spent on consoles. I could be wrong but this is what I recall seeing when I read the news on how much money is spent in each genre.

If you are a renter like me, consoles are the better choice. But I like PC gaming as well, like Fear, half life 2, vampire the masquerade...

even if you're talking about retail-one PC still has more. if you count quality ones (7.0 and more) PC also kills 360

I edited my last post before you posted this check it out. If I am wrong I am willing to check out a creditable source for the amount of money spent in 2006 on each relative system.

money spend how? On development? PC will have more, altough it might have less in marketing. 360 games cost more to make and much more to market than pc( pc devs can achieve the same quality with much less money), but it's still bassicaly US-centric system, while Pc games are more wide-spread around the world. Plus the pcgaming market is much bigger and brings more money than 360 market

[QUOTE="AdrianWerner"][QUOTE="Spartan070"][QUOTE="Spartan070"]

Simple, if you want to play Halo, Gears and Fable without waiting a few years. Plus you don't have to worry about recommended/optimal settings. Plus you can play co-op games with your friends on the same machine.

Reasons enough for me.:|

Spartan070

Plus sports games, fighters, racers, platformers and action-adventure games are all better on consoles imo

while this is generaly true, there are some exceptions to those rules :) sport games: PC does have much better sport managers, plus covers wider selection of sports than console does racers: in racing sims PC annihilates every console platformers: 2D platformers are now alive only in two places: PC and handhelds, they're dead on consoles

All your points are valid except the racers one, what PC racing sims are better than Forza or Gran Turismo?

We have had the only next gen AAA racing title so far...............

Really you think PC games over all make more money than 360? What about more money than consoles in general? I am most certian consoles combined make more than PC games. But I think you are correct about PC having more games, i just checked the blockbuster game list for the past 12 months for PC and 360, and only looked at non multiplat games, and no doubt PC has more. But a lot of those numbers seemed to come from updates. Like Sims 2, Sims 2 pets, Sims 2 University ... Even disregarding that it appears PC produces more games.

And either way i cannot rent them, and being a renter not much of an owner, consoles is where it's at. Also there are genres I like that are hard to find on PC like fighting games.

For someone who really likes fighting games like Jeff Gersman, consoles are the way to go.

So reasons to get a 360 if you own a good PC. Fighting games, and www.gameznflix.com game rentals
