At this moment I current own a low-end PC, a PS2, a DS, and a Wii. Honestly I haven't played the Wii in a while since I'm waiting for some nice single-player games. I own and have beaten both Zelda:TP and Super Paper Mario.
Towards the end of the summer I was thinking to buy/build a new gaming PC so that I'll be able to run all of the future PC games (mainly BioShock and Crysis). However, I realized there is the 360. The 360 is getting a ton of ex-exclusives that were only meant for the PS3 (Devil May Cry 3, GTA4) and also the 360 gets a nice amount of games that are on the PC that I otherwise cannot run, or I struggle running. A great example is ESIV: Oblivion.
I also realize that the 360 has the main genre I enjoy, action. Whether it be FPS, third-person shooter (Gears of War), beat-em-up, whatever...that's my favorite genre. Actually, I wanted a GC game for my Wii so I bought Skies of Arcadia Legends the other day for $20 used. And I simply cannot get into it. I've realized I have the attention span of a...rat? Basically I have a low attention span X_X
Anyway, would it make sense to pick up a 360 over a new PC? The only games I'm looking forward to the PC are the addition Half-Life 2 episodes and maybe Spore. I used to be big on MMOs but from what I understand Age of Conan will be coming out for the 360. Hell, the 360 has Gears of War, Shadowrun looks good, Halo 3, GTA4, DMCIII, BioShock (!), it looks great!
Should I go for the plunge and buy one? I most likely will during the summer, so maybe prices will drop around then? How does everyone enjoy their 360 and Xbox Live? Thanks
P.S. Going from keyboard/mouse to controller is going to be a pain in the ass
