Default Buying Xbox 360

The last year was bad for PC gamers. Too many bad ports like GTA IV and boring games. Apparently PC gaming is dead. I’m sick of upgrading on yearly basis just to play two games.

So which Xbox should I buy?

personally i cannot stand console's, fps is bloody horrible because of the controllers (man it blows, only things consoles are marginally good for is racing, fighting and platformers

dont go over to the dark side rege, if you do you may as well close ngo :P

And as per ugrading every year, i find you can get by for about 3 years, ive had this rig for 5 and its still doing me well enough, any way you look at it your still gonna end up having to buy consoles every few years anyways

pc rocks, console sucks, end of storry, dont dooooo iiiiittttt

Either this turns out to be a cyber-social experiment or we have just lost rege.

I hate consoles too and the last time I had a console was 15 years ago.

I want to buy one because I don’t have many choices. Nobody is releasing games for the PC anymore and if they do, only buggy ported games like GTA IV. You can get an Xbox for $200-$300! I spent too much money on my computer just to play 1-2 games every new year.

Instead of buying another CPU/VGA upgrade just to play two new games, you can get an Xbox and use it until they release Xbox 640. I agree the Xbox controller is somehow noobish, but it is possible to plug in your keyboard and mouse.

It doesn't matter. Even if you plug in an MX518 to a console it's still going to perform like a console controller only more elegantly. Ever experience the mouse control of certain ports on the PC?
