Xbox 360 or Upgrade PC

$200 makes a big difference when you're upgrading your PC. I could use it to get a better Video Card, or more RAM, or a host of other things.

What do you think I should do? I want to play games like Mass Effect and Fable II - I also want to get the DLC for Fallout 3 which isn't available on the crappy PS3 version.

Which would be a better deal in the long run?

For $200 it would be smart to get a 360.

What are your current specs for your pc?

in my experience 200 doesn't make much of a difference when upgrading a PC

so here's how i see it:

If you're only willing to spend 200 go for the 360

If you're willing to spend at least 400 go for the PC

EDIT: Oh you have a laptop? Well then 200 won't get you anything on laptop save for a few dims or RAM, you'd be better off buying a new PC

So upgrading the new PC is the better option eh?

Alright, that's what I'll do.

Get a 360, it gets the best of PC games and PS3 games like FF13, RE5 and exclusives like Fable 2, Star Ocean 4 etc etc

id take PC, its pretty much close to the 360, just much, much better... but if your into buying a really high end PC, you can might as well buy a 360... a PC that can play most now-aday games on high settings will cost at least 500 bucks, and thats if you build it... but if you dont build, it will be at least a thousand for sure

Last I checked, those were "the best" pc exclusives. :roll:

it depends on your current PC.

If you, say... bought a recent Dell with a Q6600, 4gb ram and a crappy nvidia 9400gs, then buying a HD 4870 or GTX 260 would give you a pretty sweet gaming machine. On the other hand, if you are trundling along on a Pentium 2.8ghz and DDR 400mhz ram, then a 360 would be a better deal for $200.

Unless you plan to upgrade your PC anyways, then you might as well use the $200 for some even better parts... Unless you plan to spend $1000 on the PC anyways so an extra $200 wouldn't make much difference so you might as well get the 360 too. *gasp* :P

That prototype nvidia card ruled though it was actually a pretty powerful card forgot which one exactly it was...but this would add the ability to upgrade graphics card for laptops...would probley be really expensive if it ever sees the market.

that ruled though was pretty highend card running through usb on laptop lol.

yowtfyowtfyo

oops i didnt explain it very well....nvidia or one of their board partners made a external video card for use on laptops...if i remember correctly it did run through usb...hopefully this stuff see's the market someday...this would be great for people with laptops who want more powerful cards.
