i dont even plan on buying a 360, seems its so based on xbox-live, which i hate, too many losers on it who think they are the best. + for me, console = offline play, PC = online play.

Online play is the best thing about video games, personally i hate pc games( you have to have a millionaires wallet to enjoy them or buy nothing but computer parts). I dont even have a live account, but with kai and xbc i dont see how you wouldn't play online. PC gaming is just a pain in the ass with normal people.

How is pc gaming a pain in the ass for normal people??

I built my pc 2 years ago for £400, and it still does fine with every new release I've tried on it ( and i try most ).
And if you are into piracy, you don't even have to mod your pc to get free games. The 360 is £400 on ebay at the moment, if you're lucky. Each game is... £40? And I have no doubt that within 2 years, MS will launch a now gaming console, because it needs to be better than the Playstation.

Plus, FPS is soooo much better on the PC.

Sure, I love my xbox, and when I buy a 360 or ps3, I have no doubt that I will be blown away by the graphics, but only if I also buy a HDTV, or connect it to my PC montior.

For the price of a 360 at the moment, I could buy a 7800GTX, which competes just fine with the 360 graphics.

I'm way into xbox, and not so hot on PS2. But you know, the next round is a whole other story. I'm not loyal to any one system or another. There's no way I'm shelling out 500+ bucks for a console and games until I can see all of them and decide for myself which kicks the most ass. I think alot of people are thinking the same way, and that's smart. Maybe 360 is better, but I'd rather wait, miss the rush, and truly put it up against the PS3 than buy one now and regret it later. It's too big an investment to rush into. MS may have gotten an early jump, but currently, I think the PS3 specs outweigh the 360 by 300%, make that 360%. I'm waiting. Only one team has showed up to the game, no one has won yet.
