Which is the better?

Now with Steam Big Picture mode I don't know why you are even asking :P If you are fan of console controls, you can use Steam BPM. Also you can upgrade your PC if it will not be powerful enough. Also you can do other stuff on PC, not just play games ;)

Not sure if serious question or OP just trolling.

360 it's almost nothing more than a bad PC.

PC

Atari 2600

PC for versatility.

Depends on what kind of PC you get and your tastes, i have a gaming PC but i like to play on a console more

to make that decision there are in a nutshell 3 important factors to consider.
1)Are you a core games? if yes how much of a core gamer are you?
-if you are like me and play around 10 to 30 hours a week of video games the library of the xbox 360 is rather small. Not only does the PC have almost all xbox 360 games it also has all games from previous generation like x-com from Windows DOS to farenheit form the xbox generation.
2)how much are you willing to spend now?
-PC hardware is much more expensive than a console. in my country an xbox 360 with 320Gb HDD cost around 300 euro witha few games, while the PC cost around 800 euro.
-however it also important to note that PC games are FAR cheaper then their console counterparts. this is because most games use a digital aproach and stores like steam and amazon have huge sales! and you also have indie bundles which give a few games for a single dolar.

• In short PC has expensive hardware but extremely low prices on software.

3)your favorite genres.
-for me this is the most important point. everyone has a genre or a style of games that they play and each platform "specializes" in a few genres.
-PC has an edge in strategy and simulation games. total war, arma, DCS, etc are games that are only possible on the PC
-Xbox has Forza (possible the most alround racing game i ever played, it can cater from core to casual with just a few tweaks in the options), halo, gears (some of the best action games that currently exist) and most importantly the groundbreaking JRPGs , blue dragon, lost odisey,etc (HUGE adventures on HD glory).

In a nutshel, my opinion is that the more you invest in gaming (either with time or money) the PC becomes the clearest choice however it is also the "hardest" platform to play because it requires some knowledge to mantain it at peak condition. essentially after reading my poitns if you are still undecided all i can sey is to see with one your friends have. single player gaming is awesome but without anyone to share the stories and the gameplay gaming loses a bit of its charm.

if you only have the cash equal to an xbox to spend on a pc, get an xbox if you want to properly game be prepared to spend from 500-800€ for a basic gaming pc unless you want to build it yourself

IF you don't have much money, buy a console. Because if you really want a good gaming pc that's gonna cost you a lot.

I personally prefer PC but it's a lot cheaper to use console.

Ermmm, If youre planning on spending the same money youll spend on the xBox on a PC. Get the xBox.

For an acceptable PC you need ATLEAST $800

PC is best for me , because moast games have better graphics on PC but it might change eny moment

if you get a good pc then ps is better but if you go and get a shit pc then go for xbox

PC is the only answer you're likely to get on a Steam-related forum.

Depends on the PC. What amount of money are you willing to spend?

If you want to spend the same amound of money on either, go with the xbox360.

get xbox to play halo and gears of war, that all the "cool games exclusives" xbox has.

What PC(plz dont say the white one)? Specs? Price range? What type of games do you like? Y U NO PUT DETAILS?!

depends , if its a choice between commodore 64 and 360 then slight edge to the 360.
asking if one should buy a car or motorcycle, well if the car is a 84 crown vic and the bike is a dugatti i would pick the latter even if i had no idea how to ride a bike.

also it depends on you and what you want, less framerates, lag and boxed resloution basically what you see what you get
vs
tower built from ground up which can run games nicley for not much investment and ability to upgrade parts as you wish.

so its no to little choice vs a whole bunch.

But to be completely serious if you just want simplicity, pop in and play and wont appreciate better visuals, frame rates and everything then go 360 they also run cheap to buy..

the new xbox will be coming before you know it and well better off buying the pc now which saves money in the long run because unles the next gen console does a 180 then you will face the same see what you get type box/investment w/ little to no options

The cons to having pc = release dates for certain games get the red head stpe chile treatment.
but
usually worth the wait now that pc optimization becoming more the trend for ports etc.
cons of having a pc = depends on your set up but i suggest building your own opposed to "designer pc's" and the skies the limit, your wallet and enthusiasm holding the key to the preformance you get but from the question alone im guessing you are not too enthused but thats ok sometimes you need to own to believe.

if this thread was a nice fat piece of trollware, well hope this comment fills the hunger.

if not well if you crave "exclusives" which some only live and die on console then ask self if this is enough reason to commit to console if having to commit to either or..
Pc's do come in handy in the real world as well, cant tell you much about it but from what i hear real world is not so bad. Im planning on visiting there one day but have too many games backlogged atm and to consider doing so now would be outrageous.

PC is everything

PC

If you have the money to get a decent PC, or you have an income of sorts that would allow you to upgrade it over time then get that, but if you can only get a PC that couldn't play the games you want, and you don't have a way to make it better over time then I'd say get an xbox.

PC will give you more versatility but could be a bit more expensive depending on what you want. I'd say go with PC unless there is a specific XBOX franchise you are interested in (like Halo or something)

I love gaming on the 360, and I prefer it when it comes to certain games, but for sheer variety, gaming power, and controls in most games I'd go with PC. Larger selection of games, mods, and more people playing if you play any multiplayer games.
