... wait for the price to drop by about 50%, and a suitable stable of games to appear.

Not going to by the xbox again. I found this thing called the computer and realised it has most of the games for pc. Not only that but the xbox is way over priced and microsoft will only come out with a new and improved one a year or two down the road.

/me to addicted to PS anyway :D

yea but playing it on ur comp is not the same experiance as playing it on the xbox i think that holding a controller in your hand makes the game that much funner then using a mouse and keyboard and plus you don\'t get xbox live on comp. and you don\'t get viruses on xbox.

I play multiple games with a gamepad on my PC. I like having the control over things on the computer, settings beyond the options menu in a game, etc.  Xbox live, no. but who cares?  You only pay for online access once with a PC.  Viruses on the XBOX?  I guess not...yet.

Mind you, I\'m not really having an open mind about it....

My original XBOX\'s power supply had a half dozen capacitors burst and I\'m still mad.

/me wonders if anyone want to buy some games...

First of all, I hate using controllers, especially Xbox ones... And even more so for FPS games... Mouse nad keyboard much easier... Second of all, i don\'t get viruses because i do nothing to get them. And besides, this way i get the construction set and such and theirs the fact that oblivion isn\'t an online game, and if it were, i have a great internet connection anyway.

I had the same feelings earlier about the computer being better earlier, but I think the 360 changed my mind. Graphically it is as impressive, or btter than any computer game out now, and the graphics are good enough to where I wouldnt even care if better ones came out cause they are  already so great. Also the reason I liked the PC better was mainly because of the games available for it. Such as RPG\'s, online first person shooters, and such that were not widely available in good quality on the current sytems. but the 360 and the other soon to be sytems are focusing heavily on online play. And of course: Price. Sure the xbox is a little expensive but look at a gaming PC. You have to pay about $2000 or more for a computer even closely capable of playing such games that are available of r the 360 to their full potential, so the 360 makes great gameing far more widely available.

First, XBox has yet to prove that it has backing by general game designer companies.   Graphics suck if the game doesn\'t play on your system.

Second, PC are more than just gaming machines.  They can do anything and everything + great gaming experiences.  

The graphics of a console may equal but will never be better than PCs.  The same or better cards will always be available to PCs. This is especially true as console are becoming computers in a smaller case.  

The mouse/keyboard is much faster and more adaptive for gaming than any gamepad or joystick.  Every game I\'ve ever played on any console has always been missing the one configuration that makes the most sense to me.  Something always doesn\'t feel right.  With the PC I just make it right by redesigning the controls.   If I absolutely want a joystick or gamepad then I have the choice on the PC.  Any attempt at a keyboard mouse config on a console is a joke at best.

$2000 dollars is hilarious.  I can build a computer that will play any game out there at better resolution than a TV can handle, let alone a console, for under a grand.  And let\'s not forget that your new 360 will be a one pad wonder and you will have to purchase every accessory separately which can add up to hundreds of dollars.  

There are multitudes of free games available for the PC.  Many of which are as good as anything one might buy. You will buy everything you want to see and play on the 360.  In fact with a PC you can create your own game.  Not possible on consoles.

If you like console gaming then by all means grab a new XBox.  But don\'t tell hardcore PC users that they dinosaurs and can\'t keep up.  The PC may evolve but it will never disappear and it will always rule gaming.
