    Not trying to be a troll here, I don't want some raging 360 vs pc thread. Now that that's out of that way, what can I do with a PC that a 360 can't, are there games that the PC has that the 360 doesn't, etc. Why should I pay $1000 for a pc instead of $400 for a 360? Thanks

    Pic kind of related

    If you want to play the vidya, you would ideally have both a basic computer for everything non-vidya and a game console for gaemin'. Tech is cheap as jeeze heck at the moment, you can have yourself a decent computer for less than a thousand dollars so why not get both?

    I don't know about you, but the reason I'm buying a new PC is because I already have a 360.

    PC has mods, xbox does not, PC has custom content, xbox you have to pay for it, PC has steam, need i say more, and its not like it matters what you buy you still have to fork over more money when the new shit comes out any ways, and also its pretty equal though if you have windows and a xbox its still microsoft, but then again the red rings of death is the biggest downside

    Well I already have a 360, and a computer that can strain it's way through games on low settings, but it can't touch Crysis or anything like it. I'm just wondering if I should save the money that I would spend on a computer

    1.360 can't play games at 1900x1200 at 90+ FPS.
    2.A plethora more of stable servers.
    3.Over whelming amount of custom user content.
    4. Your comp can do more shit then just play games.
    5. Anything that's cutting edge for a console has already been done on a comp. (Little big world<garry's Mod ; Halo<CS ; etc.)

    I (and many others) enjoy building and modding systems as a hobby ,so spending that amount of money doesn't concern us as much as someone who just wants to get a console and be done with it.

    The money you spend on the PC can save you tenfold on the content you buy for it

    pic related, also everything that's multiplatform is far superior on pc

    oh yeah 0/10

    Well, you are trying to troll.

    But anyways, a $400-$500 computer is actually pretty powerful these days, tbh, with all the cool things computers can do (run any kind of software, run games, play movies, play whatever) the added functionality of a keyboard and a mouse is prob worth it.

    You can't torrent the games and play them on the same machine like you can with a computer.

    most games for the 360 aren't in 1080p
    a few more are for the PS3 but most play on 720p or SD sets

    unfair comparison hth
    >> sage 12/14/08(Sun)23:23 No.2920062
    2 points:

    1) You probably already are going to have a computer. Why not splurge a little on a nicer computer that can do more than one thing? Instead of $800 for a computer and $300 for a 360, you could just pay, say, 900 for a decent game computer.
    2) Xbox live costs money every month, on top of your normal ISP charges. Use the computer and you only pay to use that connection once.

    its simple 360s suck and will a break faster or b get shittyer over time

    and if u have a pc you can upgrade the cpu,mother board, and graphics card if it cant support the newist game over time when time goes by

    Yeah, everything that came out before the 360 even existed, for example.

    Though all games for the 360 are optimized to run on your console - you can't say that about all PC games.Often times they're written however the developers wanted to, and to play them you must update your comp. See: crysis.
    >> Anonymous 12/15/08(Mon)00:56 No.2920672
    with a PC you have better graphics and multi player interaction across the intertubez. you also get to use all the other applications.

    with the 360, you have similar games, but at lower prettiness factors. You also gain the benefit of playing with friends socially. You know, next to each other :P

    Well, yeah, unlike the Xbox, the PC actually gives you that option, but LAN isn't what I meant. You can just plug in a few gamepads and get a TV-Out, and you have the exact same local multiplayer experience as on a console. PCs are flexible like that.
    >> Anonymous 12/15/08(Mon)01:37 No.2920985
    The 360 offers a simple, unified, [more] reliable [but not totally because Live! is still a piece of shit], streamlined gaming experience for a semi-reasonable price [if you don't let yourself get nickel and dimed].

    The PC offers a bleeding edge experience at the cost of consistency, initial price, time, and effort.

    Getting a PC to perform as well as a 360 at the same price is actually pretty hard. It's hard to build a computer period for $200. Sure, it doesn't have a hard drive, but it will play nearly all games still.

    If you compare it to one with a hard drive, there are options.

    You don't have to spend $100 upgrading the hardware on your 360 every time a new game is released.

    Unless your console cant handle the game and a new console comes out at full price that you have to buy to play it.

    PC: $1K + Games (Or torrent)
    360: $400 + Games + Live(Every Month) + TV $400-800

    And of course not including the usefulness of a pc like applications, movies, internet etc.
