I personally agree with everyone that says if you only want to play the big titles on the 360 and that's it then use a PC. But I highly doubt a game like Assassins Creed will find it's way to the PC. Theres alot of really good exclusives that won't find their way to the PC. Also does you PC have a 3 year warranty? Most likely not, a very good reason to get a 360 even if they have a above average failure rate.

if you already have a kickass computer that could run Gears of War...
then maybe youd prefer to play games with awesome graphics on a bigger screen?
or
play games like GTA, Madden, Too Human, Mass Effect, Skate/Tony Hawk, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising 1/2, Fable 1/2, or Blue Dragon??

you know... stuff people can do easily on a PC...

Why buy a 360? Cause you will be able to play the games you want without the hassle a PC entails. Also its a fraction of the price..?

Also MASS EFFECT!

Can't wait for that game. I might try cryogenically freezing myself until its release date or something. Or better KOTOR3 (except thats not being made by bioware sadly - as far as I know).

Ya they will. It will just be a few years before it comes out for the PC.

I think this falls into the "PC is better than PS3" arguments.

Devil May Cry 4 is making its way to PC. Dont count any game on Xbox out. Dead or Alive is going to PC, Viva Pinata is going to PC, Lost Planet is going to PC, Halo was a Mac game but was bought by MS. With Windows Live they will put as many Xbox/360 games on PC as they want.

Then again, I can see how this would be hard to obtain since the 360 is "The most powerful console in the world." Right MS, right? Right? Ah, little nudge humor.
