desi said: No, if you have the money, buy a PC. You can hook a PC up to an HDTV (if picture size is a big deal for you), and PC does everything right, at a better price, than a console can.

For example, free multiplayer with voice support (and sometimes webcam), customisable controls, better graphics, longer, more complex games and a wealth of downloadable games and content, most of which is free.

If you've got the money and you buy a console over a PC, shame.

My answer would be, neither console is, in my opinion, best for playing single-player. I think that a PC has the best (single-player) games, and will continue to have the best games into the future.

Besides — with game development becoming more and more expensive, publishers and developers are being forced to release a game on as many platforms as possible to maximise profit. That's why so many 360 games are coming to PC, and it only gets bigger from there.

It can use either DX9 or DX10 (better effects on DX10).

hainaku said: time to upgrade then. i'm still using an old ABIT board with AGP! hmmmm i wonder what the best board is out there now?

anyway, if you can't afford a PC then i reckon a 360 is probably the next best thing to playing PC games.

Yeah I know I didn't think they were any good anymore either (C2D here) but apparently they have bumped up the FSB big time and they crank harder than the C2D.

These days you can build a decent box for about $1400 it's awesome.

If you're a serious gamer with the cash, and you buy a console over a PC, shame.

If you're such a proponent of P.C. gaming, why are you a moderator on My*Wii*?
