Well guys/gals, shall I get one or not? I seriously cannot decide! If I do, I will use a PC monitor for it (somehow) and not a 70" TV.

I suggest you get it.
Not for "ooh, graphics" but instead for all the cool games that were already announced, besides, you're going to get all that without worrying about updating your PC, I pre-ordered one, and I'm hoping to play lots with it.

P.S. You realize by starting this thread there will be several people who will just tell you not to buy it because they said "It'll be behind" in a couple of years, or they just don't like consoles.

I really like consoles, but I havn't seen any solid arguments on why the 360 (Or really, any of the next generation consoles) is going to be worth 400 dollars. The backwards compatabilty is crippling, requiring both a Hard Drive and a Live account and not even including older games. I also havn't seen any games worth the price yet except maybe Kameo, but its not worth the purchase of a 360. Certainly nothing at Launch.

If you like good games and NEED a console, get a PS2. Its got the most games that are not available on the PC that are good. Although I've been considering a DS for all my away from home Tactical gaming needs (The new Battles of Prince of Persia game looks particularly nice)

Its also coming to PC and on PC it will have all the things that made Morrowind playable.

Mods.

You won't see anywhere near the quality or quantity of mods on the Xbox as you will on PC, if any at all.

I dislike all the consoles, so I suggest you to save money and use you spare time in a better way! :tomato: :whistle: :D

I agree with this.

Consoles come and go, but people play with PC forever.

And thanks to people like us, old pc games arent forgotten.
