Thats offensive though... I'd wager I am considerably wealthier than you... but I choose a 360 over a PC.

Its not a poor mans anything , it is an alternative.  I prefer not to have a pc taking up room in my living space. So I use laptops.  Gaming pcs and the room they require - mess they make - doesnt suit my lifestyle.

First of all you don't know a thing about me, so reserve these materialistic judgements for someone that care.

Second, I don't give a toss about your lifestyle, there isn't a way you can possibly make the Xbox looks like a better choice for gaming than the PC. Gaming PC's doesn't make any mess, they are in fact a way cooler and more silent than Xbox.

It is an alternative, but for a PC gamer that already has a gaming PC, it is the least attractive console. It has the least exclusive games that can be played on it, it has a control scheme that can be run with the PC (Xbox controler is PC compatibile), it is technologicaly inferior, it has payed online service, it has a high failure rate, it destroy's your discs, it can't do anything else than play games and multimedia.

So yes, for me and pretty much any PC gamer that owns a real gaming PC, XBox is the choice for those that can't afford gaming PC = poor man's PC. I'm not saying that there aren't PC gamers that also owns Xbox, but those will probably also have all the other consoles. I can't see anyone buying Xbox for Halo:Reach to play one game and pay for it 50 bucks a year.


"It has the least exclusive games that can be played on it, it has a control scheme that can be run with the PC (Xbox controler is PC compatibile), it is technologicaly inferior, it has payed online service, it has a high failure rate, it destroy's your discs, it can't do anything else than play games and multimedia."

Let's break this POS down shall we?

Least exclusive games - yup I agree, has the least. Irrelevent though. I don't want to play the majority of PS3 exclusives, I want Halo more so than anything, Gears 3, Alan Wake, Forza, Crackdown, PGR, Viva Pinata ect could be what others want to play that can't on PC.

Same control scheme - ?? What has this got to do with anything? A PC Gamer is going to pick PS3 over 360 because 360 controllers work on PC? ....

Tech Inferior - They both have their pro's and cons, PC Gamers will get lesser graphics whether they choose PS3 or 360 ..

Paid online - Only good point you've made so far.

High failure rate - not anymore, try harder.

Destorys discs - has never destroyed any of my discs, it's pretty uncommon actually

"it can't do anything else than play games and multimedia." - What else can the PS3 do? Does it have ESPN and Sky? all the rich live features that PSN is lacking?
