I was right there with you up until a couple months back. I finally got sick and tired of the (general) level of immaturity on LIVE.
So I finally bit the bullet and built a gaming pc. And I haven't looked back at the 360 since. I can't believe there was this much of a difference. Games on the pc just blow their console counterparts right out of the water. Well, for most of the games anyhow. I have come across a couple console-2-pc ports that were just terrible.
I'm still in awe with the better graphics alone. Not to mention that being mainly a fps player the ease of the kb/m. Although I was semi use to using the kb/m as on my 360 I used an XIM360 adapter.
Now pc gaming has got me by the b@lls. I'm hooked. I'm running 3:1 monitors using an XFX hd 5870 with Eyefinity. Having the panoramic view is awesome.
And I'm still upgrading. Although my setup is only 2 months old, I've already ordered 2- 480's to replace my 5870 and I'm selling my 3- Samsung P2450's and buying 3 of the new Acer 24" 3D lcds. I'm a self admitted graphics whore now.
Careful, you don't want to be one of those people that goes hardware crazy, spends too much money, then complains that PC gaming is way too expensive.
