General Discussion

Is it worth it for a PC gamer such as myself to buy a 360?  From what I've seen, everything worth playing on the 360 is either out on the PC or eventually comes out on the PC anyways (if not PC first).

It seems that the 360 is just a DirectX computer for the poor.

And NO, I do not like Halo!  So if you're going to suggest I get one to play a FPS, forget it.  I'd rather sand the enamel off of my teeth and then chew on ice.  It would be much less frustrating. 

The only things i think our better on the xbox are sports games and fps. So if your not going to play fps's i would say its not worth it for you.

 Nope.

Point taken.  Thanks.

I do not have the patience to play a FPS on the console.  Tried it for a while and ended up feeling my muscles tense up to the point that I got a throbbing headache.  I guess some people can stand FPS with the input sticks, but it drove me bonkers.

Thanks for the honest answer!  I was thinking of buying one, but I buy things sometimes without thinking.  A compulsion I guess. 

I will spend the money on a new burner or something pretty, like a new ball cap. 

Xbox360 and PS3 are pretty much like a computer...and not a lot of people have high end PCs from what I have seen...but my PC can play games better than a Xbox360/PS3 can, so I see no need to buy one of them. Not sure what your PC specs are, but I would just stick with a PC and upgrade some part (or spend money on something else)  instead of buying a Xbox360.

I've got a pretty nice computer.  Definitely better than what a 360 can do.

I just thought there might be something I was missing out on.  Like I said, every time I looked at the 360 games at the store it seemed to me that the 360 was just acting like a DirectX gaming computer for the poor.  Not anything more than that.

That is one thing I respect my Wii for.  Never regretted buying that little guy.  He was built to be different, and they succeeded.  I wish the other console developers would come up with something to make them a different product that is worth the time.  Not something that is trying to copy the PC.

If you're into action-adventure(GTA, Crackdown, Saints Row, Dead Rising and such), Beat'em up/fighting games or sports games in general, a console is a nice investment. It just feels more natural on a console(Heck, you can't even find a decent beat'em up for the PC).

If that's not your kind of thing, you might as well avoid it. Oh, and even though the console itself is fairly cheap, the games are freaking expensive - And generally doesn't last as long as on PC; Multiplayer feels kind of odd, and is on a smaller scale than what you'd find on the PC, and you can't mod your games either.

Im mostly a PC gamer.  But due to the absense of good titles on the PC im getting a xbox 360 today infact.

And no, im not getting halo.  I hate halo.  GTA4 , dmc4, mass effect, are some titles im looking forward to.

Especially ff13
