| I heard many people say its their favorite to play games on. Are the graphics even good? I played a online combat game (combat arms) and it lagged me to tears and a painfully slow computer. Buts thats an online game. Don't you have to set something up to play PC games?  |

So when you use the 360 pad on the 360... how different is it compared to using it on the pc? |

| PC gaming looks pretty cool. I have only played PC a couple times, that was Quake 3 at my grandfather's and the Duke Nukem games. |

| If you were a teenager in the 90s, PC games were the way to go and enjoy FPS games. On consoles, it was decent, but PC will offer the true experience. Not only that, it had so much quality games: (Doom, Half-Life, Mechwarrior, System Shock 2, Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft, etc...PC gaming was a monster in the 90s and it's a shame and it fell flat on its face (well to me). The only games I'm really looking forward to the PC is the new Blizzard games and Doom 4. |

| 90% of the time PC gaming is better. less lag,more ubtates (TF2 is 100 times better on the PC),the ability to mod,a less whiny community (*cough*XBL*cough*) better graphics and a few exclusives that in my opinion are AAA (crysis if you dont count the terrible multiplayer) |

| PC gaming is dead and I think the main reason is the cost of gaming on a PC compared to the cost of gaming on the 360. Now that console cycles are lasting longer and longer, if you buy a 360, its a one-off payment and you can play on it for 6-7 years. But i highly doubt that you will still be able to use the same PC hardware for 6-7 years. Not to mention that PC are a lot more expensive. _________________ Live by the Creed |

| Most games on PC allow for mods. You can basically do whatever you want with the tools the developer gives you with the game. The possibilities are limitless. And the games are priced lower then most console games. Plus you choose which hardware you want. |

| I dont get why people think PC gaming is dead....
WoW has sold more copies then any console game in history.. (excluding the bundled game from nintendo)
The Sims has sold over 30M copies with all the games (1, 2 and 3)
PC gaming isnt dead, its just something console blokes doesnt understand. |

| I think we should game on not only consoles but the PC as well. There are some PC versions of games that are better than the console versions (Halo 1 and 2 due to online play), I myself want a gaming PC and hope to get one (360 Elite to get first). |
