Yeah, get a PC if the whole idea of PC gaming is not intimidating to you. I, however, just don't have deep enough pockets or enough computer savvy to be a PC gamer.

gears2 or crysis/crysis warhead? do you like fighters/sport or platformers? what are your favorite genres?

If you don't like fighters and sport games you will get more value out of a pc

I don't know aus sites but here is a build that will destory the 360

cpu core 2 duo e8400

Motherboard ga-ep43-dsl p43

nvidia 9800gt

2gb ddr2 800

antec case

coolermaster 500w power supply

500gb hdd

dvd drive

vista home premium x64

all for $978 au and its will run any game out there just fine and is 3-4x the power of the x360, any game the 360 will run this pc will run much better

Sorry, I don't take anyone who goes to SW to make a decision seriously.

I overhauled my PC for $799 AUD last november.

You can get a pretty good gaming PC for a decent price.

It just depends on what games you want, and like.
