PC gaming or 360 gaming? your thoughts!!

Was kinda stuck on whether to buy a new high end PC or get a 360. What do you guys think has better games overall, if money was not an issue? and please state your side somehow cause sometimes its hard to discern what someone's side really is..thanks PC gaming or 360 gaming? your thoughts!!
Both*Making bad answers since 2004*PC gaming or 360 gaming? your thoughts!!
if you get a high end pc you should get vista ultimate and everything max specs like 2gb or more ram and lots of space and a nvidia geforce 8600 or above so you have direct x 10 try get 8800 because vista has games like halo2 and also pc has gears of war and bioshock and some other games 360 has along with the fact that you can play alot of other games on pc but 360 is great if you just wana play games i would say get both lol cos gears of war on pc does glitch occasionally so you pause for a seccond even with a high end 4000$+ pc
well if you like sports and racing games 360 is better, if you like fps/rpg/rts games pc is better. if money is no issue and you like all games then I guess both is the way to go
beeter games depend upon what you like.360 has/stronger in jrpgs,fighters,sports,action-adveturepc has/stronger in fps,wrpgs,rts,tbs,advenure
Well, it depends on what you like.If you like FPS, RTS and RPG - or any other PC-centric genre, you simply need to be buying a PC. Sure, many FPS games are multiplat these days, but if you're a PC gamer, you don't consider playing a FPS with a pad playing a FPS. If you're into making your own content or playing mods, you also want to be on the PC scene.If you're a tech-head or want cutting edge visuals, you also want a PC.But if you're mre into fighting games, platformers, serialised sports franchises or perhaps even driving games, you may find a 360 a smarter purchase.If you're more into party gaming, you may also find the 360 a smarter purchase, since it easily accomodates multiple players in the same room. Similarly, if you're kinda casual with your gaming, you may find a 360 the better purchase, since there's no messing about trying to get games to run, it's all simply plug and play. You won't waste any time.As far as exclusives go, the PC has some, the 360 has some. Some wonderful games like Crysis, The Witcher and Sam and Max have hit the PC this year, whle the 360 has seen titles like Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed and will soon be getting GTA4 - though admittedly, some or all of those will be hitting PC shelves.The most honest answer is both. If you're an all-round gamer, you want botha PC and a 360. If I had to choose one, I'd unsurprisingly vote for PC, what with this being a PC forum and all, full of PC gamers.
I had a 360,i hated it,i'm a hermit and proud of it.
PC through and through :D
It really comes down to money...how much do you want to spend?
3rd person, Xbox. First Person, PC.Japan style games? PS2.

Does anyone have any idea about how much money is required to keep up with PC gaming since hardware moves so fast? I mean I dont wanna spend over $100 a year for updating a PC. $50 sounds more reasonable to me..I dont want to run everything at top performance but rather just have enough hardware that can run it smoothly w/ no lag online without turning the graphics at lowest..

After that, your GPU will probably need replacing every two years if you want to stay close to the speartip. CPU replacemens probably 3 or so years, which probably also means a new motherboard every three years.RAM is one of the cheapest and easiest things to keep current, and you don't need to futureproof. Sound card you can buy and forget about.As far as costs go for upgrades, you'll probably want to spend about $300 on your graphics card, $250 or so on your CPU and maybe $150-200 on your motherboard. So you might be looking at $700 every three to fouryears to stay current. But that's if you want to keep running on high settings. You could pay much less and still get a great experience. And the gap between PC visuals and console visuals is going to just get wider now that the heavy duty PC cards are finally out, with more to come. Epecially since this console generation is looking like being a long one.
So how much do you think it might cost if I dont stay on the ''speartip'' as you said. I just wanna run it smoothly. I'm not aiming for top notch graphics quality. rather just being able to run all games smoothly and the best visually without spending much money..I guess what I'm saying is I wanna be in that ''happy medium''
PC, but I'm a big mmorpg fan myself.
Just read my blog if you want my thoughts on Xbox...PC FTW.
Well, considering the steep requirements for the better PC games, and the amount of money it would take to max out all settings and get a good frame rate, I'm definatly leaning toward 360 games more. It's cheaper, and less hassle. With a PC game you have to worry about patches, and there's usually some kind of glitch or problem that I get with almost every game right out of the box which needs to get fixed, then you have to fiddle with settings, drivers, and tweaks to try and get the game to run well. I'm just kinda tired of the hassle. So unless you're ready and willing to drop a ton of money on this thing, I'd go with 360. otherwise, have fun playing Crysis!
I didnt know PC games were such a pain. I used to play WoW and I never had any real problems other than internet connection sometimes but I dont think it was the game's fault. I just always knew that PC gaming was the most expensive form of gaming out there..

If money is not an issue then why not both?
