Should we welcome Xbox 360 to computer gaming?

PCs are generally defined by moddability, aren't they? The Xbox 360 is too closed in terms of hardware and software to be considered a PC.

PCs weren't always "defined" by moddability though. It was only in the mid 90's that modding of PCs and games took flight. Anyway, it is possible to modify your Xbox 360, from simple aesthetics to switching HDD's, to more legally-strained modding and such.

Still a closed system. I could keep a PC for twenty years and play all those games the entire time if I kept the parts updated. That's not possible with the Xbox. I'm always going to have to buy the new one.
