Chairman-Mao said: I know nothing about computers; what I do know is you can get a 360 elite or PS3 for just $300, less then half the price of what you're going to spend on your PC. |
You also have to spend 10$+ more on each game, 50$/year for online in the case of Live, and all the other overpriced accessory shit you have to deal with for the 360 in general. PC gaming costs a bit more to get in to, but then, in the long run it is actually cheaper.
And after that, you're locked in to what is already obsolete tech, which will have no options for upgrading over the next few years at all.
And moreover, you can get a lot more out of games from a PC with a ~100$ video card than a PS360 for 300$, so if you're buying a new computer anyhow, it's actually shittons cheaper to build a gaming PC - a, say, 650$ PC is cheaper than a 550$ PC and a 300$ SD Twin.
