How much cash would u have to put into a pc with the equivelent smoothness, resolution and graphic detail as a 360?

i spent $230 on a vid card ati x 800 which was the **** at the time to play oblivion on launch for pc and 360, but did not have a 360,

played it on high settings till i walked outside, then i had to settle for low smoothly or if i was ambituos medium/high on a choppy frame rate.

got a 360 for $350 and oblivion game of the year edition so it justifiyes getting it again and the main story is like a different game, i actually get lost in the caves cause of the level of detail in the textures for the cave walls now.

im just curious if anyone has noticed ur getting way more bang for ur buck on the 360 than pc. cheers!

360 is cheaper and really fun. Pc is just if you want more to do and max out your graphics. But to get high details and speed on Pc you need to spend like $1200. 360 is probably better.

I have a five year old PC that I put in 2 gigs of ram for about $100 and an ATI HD2600 for $200 and can run Oblivion with the highest settings and resolution smoothly with no issues what so ever. I got more bang for my buck on my PC...

Consoles are better bang for the buck, but PC are by far more diverse for gaming. They still own the RTS and MMO catagory. But once MMO and rts become popular on the console market, A PC will be harder for me to justify. (and that is coming soon with LOTR, C&C, supcom and age of conan leading the way for console RTS and MMO) I am just now switching from hardcore PC to 360. I will always have a soft spot for my macbook pro ;P
