Should we welcome Xbox 360 to computer gaming?

@OP

Can I sit down on my couch to watch my movies? Can I sit down on my couch and play my games?
Can I play Halo 3 without a 360? Can I play Forza 3 without my 360? Or even Crackdown 2 or ODST? Halo Reach? Ninja Gaiden 2? Ninja Blade? Soul Calibur 4? Lost Odyssey?

Etc etc. I choose all of the above over £50 PC gaming.

Well, you certainly can hook up a computer to a TV.  Even play with a controller, too.

And can you play Portal Prelude?  Crysis?  Starcraft 2?  Every platform has its exclusives.  And frankly, most PC gamers are less than impressed by the 3 Halo's you mentioned, because we've played, you know, GOOD first person shooters.  :-o

 

PC > Console for FPS and RTS, mostly due to the control scheme (and history).  I prefer console for most everything else, though.

Don't you think it looks wierd for a PC to be in your living room? i think it's too big,troublesome & wierd to be placed in a living room.

Exactly.

@ Max Power. My wife would not want the PC next to the telly. Try again. I'm not here to say PC games or console games are better. But to me, as in my opinion those games I mentioned I dont ever want to miss. Personally PC FPS games are not all that. PC owners like to think they are but Ive been bored of plenty.
