Geting a system for a game that is on the PC... one of the main reasons why I never bothered even thinking about the original Xbox. If the 360 didn't have JRPG's I wouldn't even think about it either.

You can get a pc that can play Mass Effect with similar visual levels for $300?? Wow. Is that with or without monitor?

You can buy a decent PC that can run Mass Effect andd Call of Duty 4 at the same price as a 360 now days. Plus he'd save $20 on the games themselves buying both CoD4 and ME for $50 (or less) rather than $60.

I know he won't but I thought I'd mention it.

 

 No you can't.

A PC up to running those games at medium settings is going to cost you 2.5-3x as much as a 360.

I challenge you to spec me a PC that will do what you say, or even near what you say.

And no throwing in cost of Live for 5 years because you do not need that for the game.

Actually....according to amazon

Mass Effect for 360 is now $39.99 brand new.  A copy you can sell or trade in if you finish it.  Or even find cheaper used.  I paid 29.99 for mine.

Mass Effect for PC is 49.99.  A copy that is restricted to 3 total installs on a PC and will need calls to EA to activate after those 3 installs are used up.

Sorry to go off topic but had to correct the misinformation...

He shoots!.... ... ... ... ... ...

He Scores!!! Bleachers full of 360 fanboys cheer from the top of their lungs chanting "jasonnc80! jasonnc80! jasonnc80!"

I love Mass effect, I can't wait till the second one comes out. I wouldn't buy it for a pc because I use my pc for work and get tired of looking at the screen. I don't know why people don't get that, plus most 360 exclusives that come out on the pc take a long time.

i feel glad for your friend that he is buying a system with some good games on.

but i feel sorry for him that he thinks mass effect is going to be a good game

Mass Effect is a great game though the main story was pretty short and I felt that the final parts of the game and the ending could have been a lot better. Instead, the cut-scenes with the big finale weren't really that exciting and then before I realized it, I was free falling from the extreme cliff hanger of an ending. I know that Mass Effect is a series.... but damn.....

I beat the game in around fifteen hours. Obviously I didn't explore everything and do every side quest, I mainly did the side quests at the locations where the main story was taking place.

Damm Mass Effect, just tell him to save nearly constantly, and I just played and died, and went back to before when I saved!!!!!!!!!! and I had so nearly cleared that area (well I had, but I died from the rocket they fired before they died)
