Aye, you can buy a console and money-wise, you're set up for the next four or five years.

If you always want to be running PC games at their highest quality, then it's going to cost an arm and a leg to maintain you're PC as a top end machine.

PC. Has a unlimited things to do and games to play. Will give you ultimate happyness

You want a PC because you can upgrade it?

For me that's something that puts me off PC gaming. With Xbox 360 you never have to upgrade anything, it runs all the games straight out of the box with no hardware conflict or need for better graphics cards.

It's not going to fail because it's the first next-gen machine and it's launching at a decent price with a company behind it that will keep throwing money at it until it does succeed.

Simple.

The 360 is hardly going to be a failure, though. It's building on the already amazing Xbox online service, and its increased technological capabilities mean games will be much more advanced (both visually and gameplay-wise).

I wouldn't spend £280 on something if I didn't seriously think it could deal with my gaming needs.

There's really not any chance of the 360 flopping, though.
Look at this lot. Just look at them.

Maybe not that close.
ugh

I don't think you should buy a console the moment it comes out since it could be a big flop and you'd have wasted a hell of a lot of money.

I usually wait a year or so and see how good the consoles are then. And I pay the hundred pound fee for it so even if it is crap, I'm still not disappointed.

Everything? No.

Gaming-wise? Usually. But for the 360, nope. I'll be paying £280 on launch, which is exactly what everywhere else is charging.

Doesn't everything always cost more in those big rubbish electrical stores anyway?
