Which one seems like it will have the most use in the future?

They both work. Given the choice, I'd get it for pc and play with a 360 controller. Maybe hook it up to a big flatscreen, too!

Edited for typos because my iPod likes to autocorrect incorrectly.

my pc 5 years... about 2 years of games.. with about $1000 of graphics upgrades

my xbox.. 6 years.... no cost

I suggest Xbox then. If you have no interest in mods.

My original thought.. over the last 6 years

pc $1000

xbox $250

pc upgrades over 6 years $1000

xbox upgrades $000000000

That depends, if you get a really powerful gaming PC aren't you likely to have a FAR more stable and bug free experience than if you play on console ? I mean I know my original save was completely ruined by lockups on console, wouldn't CTD's never happen on a really powerful PC ?

Maybe, but current gen consoles are starting to end their age limit I guess you could call it.
Pc on other hand, sure you may have to spend extra on upgrades every now and then but not that much.
Besides give a year or two and the next -gen consoles will be out and you'll need to buy one of those.
Just my two cents.

I've had my xbox for 6 years.

how long is your graphics card going to last?

We get it, you think that you have to have a state of the art PC to play new games and use an X-Box. Great Job.

If you can take running games at medium or low settings you can go for about six years without a big upgrade, or just a minor graphics card update for about $100.

It will outlast my soul! Or it will burn in Oblivion somehow...

I'd wait and do the PC when you get $1,000. You can build a beast for less and still have some left over for a 1080p monitor (or 1600p, even better). That's just my take on it, but getting an XBox seems like a waste of money given the next generation is just around the corner and your new rig, if set up right, will still run circles around the XBox 720/Hypercube or whatever they're gonna call it for years to come.

lol..

why can't we all just get along?

You already seem to be biased toward the Xbox, so just get that.

I am being friendly. You'd know if I wasn't. I'd be more angry. Night time usually is when I'm happier.

This.

Though my vote is for saving for a PC. I say for a good budge PC you should wait until you have $750.

Donate it to someone who doesn't need to be told what to do with it, like myself.

» Sat Jul 07, 2012 9:17 am

Anything you can recycle from your old PC (if you have one), like monitor, case, etc?
