Submission + - Xbox 360 or PC for gaming? 1
Spamicles writes: "I'm trying to decide between purchasing a new PC gaming rig and an Xbox 360. I already have a computer for doing the basics such as word processing and web browsing, but my dated video card and processor just aren't cutting it for new games like GRAW 2 and the soon-to-be-released Halo 2 for the PC. I have been a PC gamer for 10+ years (I'm 24). I love aiming with my mouse and playing all genres of games, but I am a graduate student and the cost of purchasing a just-under-bleeding-edge is going to hurt me quite a bit in the wallet. Although Xbox 360 games are slightly more expensive than most PC games, the cost of the Xbox 360 hardware will be only a fraction of what I would spend getting a new PC. So Slashdot, can you help me decide? Will I be put off by using analog sticks instead of a Logitech gaming mouse and a WASD keyboard setup?"
