Ok - here's $.02 from someone who has switched from PC to 360, for what it's worth. First, like a couple friends of mine, I was fed up with CONSTANTLY having to tweak BIOS settings, update drivers, clear cache, etc. on my PC (w/ $400 video card) to get it to play the latest games - you can play ANY 360 game on ANY 360. Second, if you get surround sound, game controller, etc. for your PC, why not just get a console? I find sitting on the sofa, with the huge TV, 600W audio, wireless controller much more immersive than any PC experience I've had. Finally, XBox Live: seriously (from a long-time PC fan), XBL takes gaming to a new dimension - keep track of what your friends are playing, Acheivement Points (addicting), etc. I always had this 'no man's land' feeling to online PC gaming. XBL brings it all into focus with a clean, simple interface, tons of content to download and a stellar gaming community. Okay, so Prey looks a smidge better on PC. Who's going to notice with bullets whizzing by your head? ;-)
