^^i am not a console hater.i myself have an XBOX360.but nothing comes close to a pc.especially when it comes to playing with others online.i been playing
CALL OF DUTY1(not enough servers)
COD:UNITED OFFENSIVE.(playing for so long stopped playing )
COD4.(i am addicted )
HALO.(not playing anymore)
COUNTER STRIKE.(sometimes)
battlefield 2.
FOR a long long time.nothing beats pc infact i been using my xbox controller for playing racing games on my pc for that part i like my xbox.the best part of the pc is the online experience is FREE.we all know that playing first person shooters on an xbox SUCKS(i have headaches).
i have over 10 XBOX360 games(original) lying around havent played them much all r in mint condition if any one wants pm me.

I was one of the first to get the xbox360 officially in chennai.bought it for
i guess around RS30000+RS25000 WORTH OF GAMES the total cost crossed 50000 bucks.then i assembled my first pc on my own.the toal price of the pc was nowhere near that amount(RS50000).My PC R***my xbox 360.period.

^^just get a PC with HD4850 and a proc. that doesnt bottleneck the card
this pc will BLOW xbox360,PS3 to Smithereens.

bro, i own a HD4850 and an E8400 oc'ed to 3.72GHz... from my experience playin GTA 4.... it jus cannot be matched witha a PS3.... n xbox360 is not even in the picture...

GTAIV is ****ed in the developer end itself(the pc version).u have to tweak apply patches just to play the game normally even on a quad core based system.please dont blame the HARDWARE its not its fault.Thats one BIG ****ed up game.
google gtaIv memory leak/bad port u would know.
does xbox 360 play CRISIS in dx10 mode? i dont think it can.its not that powerfull.whereas my mid range pc BLASTS through crisis with 40+fps
on high settings.hope u get the point.

i am not here to argue.just telling u what i exp. thats all

anybody watched 'training day' movie. the set looks so similar to gtaIV.
my xBox360 is used fo movie watching nowadays... and maybe an occasional dash of NFS...

I know this is pretty old, but in case anyone missed it, one of the reasons F.E.A.R-2 should not be missed : -

Have just started D/L'ing FEAR 2 and completed only 6%.

[sarbanoxley]

^^I couldnt achieve those results easily.i had to creep up on the target slowly.if not the board wont accept the clocks.it felt as if the mobo was learning the clocks with each the bump in the voltages.if i jumped the gun it would reboot Continuously.
FEAR2 saw it on bitsoup it was like 11gb+.i would download this game after i switch my ISP.
airtel has punished me for downloading 40+gb in a month.they have capped my speed. i called their helpline the guy said i am being punished FOR DOWNLOADING 40+gb on my 512kbps UNLIMITED connection.BTW i pay Rs1500+170 as taxes for this limited err... UNLIMITED connection

Why? I have the same from TATA INDICOM , I hope they don't do that to me as well. Are you serious about this? You should complain to consumer forums.

Started playing FEAR 2. Has some genuinely scary moments, though it doesnt provide the same sense of cold isolation as Dead Space does.
AI is good.
Disappointed with the graphics , seems like a souped up original FEAR engine. Not that its very bad, just not right up there.
