REALLY ?? You go spend the exact amount for a pc today that you would for an xbox 360 and tell me that creature you bought is hands down WAY better then a xbox 360 ! You cant and you know it and thats what I was trying to convey, but these dang pc/console wars are driving me nuts, I have both a 360, and a pc built for gaming, ( I only use my pc for mmo's like the upcoming star wars mmo) and yes it does excite me to be able to download mods for a game, but that is about where the thrill ends for me with a pc, the console is much more comfortable to play on and I have never been disappointed with the graphics to any degree on my 360 when playing fallout, rdr, or a TES game or any other for that matter,.. but thats just my opinion.
I am in the same boat as you, i have a top end pc that my friend built for me that can handle most modern games but i hardly ever use it for gaming, my 360 is way better in my opinion. I can relax on my sofa, play on my huge screen tv with my 5.1 surround sound (i have no room for those in my bedroom), party chat with my friends while playing and i am not too far from the kitchen so i can grab a beer or a snack mid session. I agree with you 100%, i have never been disappointed with the graphics on most of my 360 games either, and like you say if someone went and bought a pc for the same price as a 360 it wouldn't be any better graphically at all. I spent £500.00 on my pc and a further £200.00 on a monitor and £30.00 on speakers, and that was with getting big trade discounts as well. Most people can't justify spending that sort of cash just to play games, i only did because i had redundancy money and i don't even use it for gaming that much.
