Post New comp first or 360?
So I am going to be making some sweet cash this summer, and wondered, should I get a 360 first or a new comp? I need to play alot of games I missed, like finishing Dead space 2, Dragon age 2, ME2, halo reach, the newest red faction, yet I have alot of games on the PC I need to finish too. I was going to wait after E3 to see if microsoft unveils a new console, word is they might have something in the works. If I get a PC it's going to be through Ibuypower, either an x4 AMD 965 black edition, or an X6, and either a 1G 256-512 ATI radeon 5770, or a maybe the new 6 series. Which should I get first? I started as a console gamer, went to PC. I dont need an xbox, but it'd be fun to have one. I havent had a console since my PS2 and Xbox days.

PC. You can buy most of the games from the 360 for the pc anyways.

All those games you just listed are 10x better on a decked out PC...Xbox and consoles will always be restricted on what they can do, PC can be tweaked and tuned to w/e performance or price range you want...its a no brainer dude...plus if you really want the xbox experience just torrent a 360 emulator, dl the games and get a usb controller (but remember to put on your bra and panties first). Good Luck!

1) PC
2) buy Intel instead AMD. you should get same power for same money, but it'll eat less electricity (watts) => less heat => less noise => less pain on long run
- $210 Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115073 & http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu ... 40+3.30GHz)
vs
- $200 AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819103913 & http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu ... I+X6+1100T)

Build the pc yourself.Then you will have a much better pc and enough cash left to buy a box.No sense in trying to buy the latest and greatest in pc parts,it will be old in 6 months.

Unless they come out with some really, really amazing shit that you cant get anywhere else, I don't see myself ever getting another console. ESPECIALLY a 360. Get a computer, dude. you won't be sorry, like you would be if you got the 360.

further thoughts: Think about it this way. A couple few 6 months back, my video card shit the bed. I got a new card and fixed it. I was back up in less than a week. If it was a 360 and the video went, I'd have to pay the shipping to send it in for repair, wait however F*CKING long the repair is going to take, and HOPEFULLY it's still under warranty. If it is, then you're good. if not, well then F*CK. What's that, Microsoft? Parts and repair charges are about $275? and a brand-new 360 is $300? time for a new 360 (or not).
