I don't know about you but the only friends I have that are PC gamers are WoW players. I'd buy Reach five times and put up with the Live subscriptions before even considering switching PC gaming. Hell, I'd probably quit gaming for good before ever opting for a gaming PC over a console.

Wait until you see a sale and buy as many of them as you want. Once I see it for $30 I am buying two 12 month cards.

Instead of spending an additional $10 a year you would rather spend $100+ on a graphics card? Anyway, as for your original question, look at the games. Are you more interested in Reach, or do you like the games the PC has. If you find you like what the PC has to offer then by all means get the graphics card, if not stick with the xbox.

Even before I got my Xbox, I kinda was interested in PC gaming. But, seeing as 90% or everyone I know who games plays Xbox, I think I'll get Reach.

I was asking myself the same thing. I bought all 3 current gen consoles for what it would cost to get a strong gaming PC. You don't play PC because it's "cheap."

im missing your logic, how would a new graphics card be cheaper than the increase in live prices?

Agreed with both of you guys. Gaming isn't cheap no matter what route you go. Not to mention if you defect to another platform mid-gen, it could cost you quite a bit and you won't get much in return selling the old console, which is why i recommend most people to go the multi-console route a lot or stick where they are at. If you really like the PC library and and you're not physicked for Reach by all means go for it. Of if your hyped for Reach and/or other titles on the Xbox, than by all means just stay. Or if you could also just get both if you want.
