360 Slim vs PC? HELP!!?

Question

If I want to to go PC route I would go all out and spend $2,000, or the New 360 slim. How will I decide??

Answer 1

2000 bucks on a PC? That would be overkill IMHO.

You will be able to buy the same PC for around half that price in a year or so.

My advice is to buy a high end pc for around 1000-1500$ (Build it yourself if you have the time and don't buy apple if you are going to be gaming a lot). Unlike the xbox it would only last you three four years max before being outdated. But the PCs these days are far superior than The 360. You will be able to upgrade it in the future as well.

Form the money you save you should be able to buy a 360 as well if you wanted to.



But this really depends on what you want to do with your PC or the Xbox.

If you are only intersted in gaming the 360 would be the better choice.

Answer 2

Well, that choice is completely up to the user's discretion. If you enjoy games specifically designed for Xbox only, then the console system would be the choice. If its concerning graphics, online gameplay, and gaming experience, PC would be the better option.



Here are the generic specs on the MIcrosoft Xbox360 gutted and benchmarked:

Processor: IBM tri core cpu @3.2Ghz

RAM: 512mb DDr2

GPU: ATi 500mhz core clock w/512mb gddr2 ram

Storage: 20,60,120,250gb HDD clocked at 7,200rpms @ 8mb cache memory



Now you also have to look at what Microsoft does NOT tell you about its Console

-Does not burn multimedia files

-Additional charge per month for Live Subscription for online gaming

-Infamous defects such as the Red Rings of Death or RRODS

-GPU is way outdated, same with Shader Model

-Batteries on Wireless accessories dont last long

-Cannot surf the internet

-Modifying in anyway voids Microsoft's 2 year warranty

-Some games are not ful 1920X1080i supported





So, if your not concerned about money issues, the PC would be a better choice. If you want a simple "Plug and Play" features, Xbox would be the choice.

Answer 3

PC any day. The graphical capabilities exceed those of a console, the difference being substantial. And if you're willing to spend $2,000 you will get a very powerful PC which can play high-end games with all settings maxed out. The best option is a gaming PC.



All the best

Answer 4

You're trying to compare buying a $2000 computer, to buying a $300 xbox?

That's kind of crazy, but you may have forgot with a TV.

Spending $1500 on a nice, 50' or 52' LCD TV, then the xbox, vs a $2000 computer +xbox?

I'd go with the TV+Xbox, because you can't get a 50' HD monitor on a computer. The xbox was meant to be played on a television, and not a computer.

Well, you need to decide what you'd use it for first.



Assuming it's just for gaming, the Xbox 360. Because it's dedicated to gaming, wheras a PC is a multi function piece of equipment.

Hello friend,

See consoles are designed to play games and pc is not especially designed to play games and pc will cost you more.and console will play all the games you buy for it while pc expires within 2 years and new games demands more hardware capabilities my suggestion is buy xbox360 slim it is cheaper,designed for gaming,microsoft announced xbox360 to have 10 year lifespan so till 2015 you can enjoy it as best gaming console available in the market(nevermind ps3 aswell)but if you are wealthy enough to upgrade pc every year with best graphic cards then go for pc.
