Don't forget upgrades. That 360+tv should work for 5+ years.

The probably feel a need to justify the outrageous prices they paid for their PC, when the video card you just bought costs more than the entire console you want the thing to perform better than the console too.

Ever play on Xbox Live? The community is worse than Counter-Strike and WoW.....

Ya sure.. But a 2000 HDTV is much larger then a computer screen. Plus it's much easier to play multiple players on a playstation then it is to newtork up a bunch of machines.

Also now that the PS3 and Wii and Xbox 360 is out you can get PS2 games for dirt cheap, some of which are still very much fun. I stopped caring about graphics a long time ago, I'd much rather have pixels with good gameplay then some expensive pretty anti-aliased picture that is about as much fun as a brick.

At least there's some attempt to match players' skill levels and bleep out the foul language. But no game will ever filter out all the tards.

You can if you allow people to host their own servers.

That's one of the major downsides of consoles.

It's getting that way with PC games though. Now commercial game makers have figured out that they could charge money for a online game then charge money for the ability to play the online game then charged money for advertising in the online game...

All of it has just turned into a huge scam to milk as many 15-25 year old males for as much money as possible. And it's not just software, but hardware makers, too. Everything from SLI video cards, 'onboard raid' with dubious performance and very dubious reliability, special 'Exteme' versions of CPUs, special 'overclocking' motherboards, to 700 watt power supplies on hardware side to most everything. And not only is stuff getting more expensive, but the quality is dropping also. How much hardware that is being sold today that are just crap? Video cards that overheat easily and motherboards that crap out after 6 months..

It's all very irritating.

The $2000 HDTV has other uses and will likey be in use for other things long after that XBox dies and is replaced. And I think $1300 is cutting it kind of low considering that the video card alone will likely cost half of that.

that $2000 hdtv comment is Soooooo stupid. xbox360 can be played on a regualr monitor.
also 2000 gets you a 61" hdtv. there are smaller ones too.

The $2000 HDTV has other uses

The PC has far more uses than the HDTV and the 360, so dont even try to go there. But, we could argue back and forth all day and not change each other's views. So, this will be my last reply on the topic of consoles versus PCs.
