Until this Christmas, I have been more of a console gamer, because I had an old Dell computer which had only 256mb RAM (after I added 128mb), a 1.1ghz processor, and a 16mb onboard video card. But I got a decent computer which plays games for Christmas, so I have been playing computer games a lot more, and I have not used my xbox for gaming since then basically.

I'm a more PC kind if guy. Been exposed to computers since I was 6 years old. The only console I had was Sega Megadrive 16-Bit to play Sonic the Hedgehog :D . Now happily playing NFS: MW on my PC :D .

PC all the way! I love the great games for the PC. Though I'm not very familiar with the console games, I know enough to know I'll only buy a console if I win the lottery. :D Otherwise I don't want that crap. But I'd like to play with the console's sport games. Car races, wrestling, ball-games, boxing, fighting (Mortal Kombat). That would be great.

GET PS2, if you can't get a PS2 get A PC. All other consoles suck like mad!

Xbox much better. :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

Pc and Xbox good combination. :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D :) :D

btw who says you cant play pc games on a nice and clear 37" lcd tv screen that supports 1920 x 1080 resolutions :D. The PC is more customizable and if your in need a of a joypad/joystick you can always buy one. I find it more enjoyable to play sports games on the xbox 360 as it isnt as intense as fpses are.

Im surprised at how many people are primarily PC gamers. Thing is, both have their upsides, and why not have the best of both worlds. And i appreciated the quote up there from atomsmasher about getting a ps2 and if not get a pc, as if anyone would a: not be able to get a ps2, and b: decide that since they couldnt get a ?100 piece of plastic to spend ?1000 on a pc...

The console controller really needs to be retired/phased out if consoles ever want to capture the interests of PC gamers. Games have evolved so much from the days of Super Mario Brothers that a 10, 15 button peripheral just doesn't make sense anymore. Until the day I see keyboards and mice plugged into a console, I'm sticking with the PC. I'd also help if HDTV became mainstream.

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
