Should we welcome Xbox 360 to computer gaming?

Price.

Super powered PC.............. £2000 (with upgrades constantly needed)

VS

Super powered 360.......... £129

If i can get almost everything i can on a PC for a fraction of the price, i'm gonna take the cheaper option...... More value for money.

 

Do people honestly still think this is the case for PC gaming? Complete FUD.

My PC was $650 all in and plays anything I care to throw at it and is used for much more than gaming. I also am able to get x360 "exclusives" for $10 less brand new, and often 50% or more off through Steam sales. Free online and better versions of the same games as well.

My advice to x360 fans: Tone down the gaming PC pricing hyperbole.

 

100% agreed.

And upgrade costs are moot.  95% of games that come out for PC also come out for PS360, so if you build a PC that is on par with the PS360, it will be pretty much be guaranteed to play those cross-platform games at least as long as a PS360 would.

I mean, there's no way that COD:Modern Warfare2 will have significantly higher requirements (if any) than COD4.
