    New Computer or Xbox 360?

    I've been using the same run-down computer for the past 4 years. I'm still using Windows 98.

    But, I did sell my xbox and I haven't gamed in almost a month. It would be absolutely foolish to rebuy and xbox.

    So what would you do. Buy a new PC or an Xbox 360?

      I'd go with the 360 now, PC later. I bought a new PC just before the hurricane at one of those custom build places and spent $699 for the CPU and $175 (after rebate) for the flat monitor, for a total of $875.

        Of course a premium 360 after 3 games or 2 games and another wireless would run you about $600 or more after tax.

          If you like to just hang out in front of a TV and play games, then I'd say get yourself an Xbox 360. If, however, you need your computer for a bunch of other stuff as well, and you have to pick one or the other, then for practicality's sake, you'd probably be better off with a new PC...

            PC.

            A 360 will delay the new PC even longer.

              If you're a gamer then a 360...if you need a PC to do other stuff and don't game but just occasionnaly then i'd just save up more to get a PC..

                depends on if you like the 360's exclusive selection of games, if not, then go for the pc because you can game and do so much more.

                  If you use your PC for other stuff than just AIM and the Internet, then go for the PC. (and for goodness sakes either get a custom built one or get parts, company pc's are highly overpriced)

                      Couldn't agree more, although you can find some good deals for older models. We get a lot of flyers for good athlon computers that range from 300 to 600 bucks.

                            I would check the specs of the PC but like others said, if you're a gamer go with the 360. There are a lot of flyers that have good deals on computers in Montreal.
