It honestly depends on what genre of games a certain player is interested in, however I still lean towards PC.
If you're a true fps fan, and not some teeny-bopper who grew up on console FPS', then PC is the one and only place for you. Hell I went to the extreme and bought an adapter so I can use my Keyboard and Mouse on my roommates XBOX just to play HALO the way a fps is meant to be played.
MMO's and Point and Clicks are also more native to the PC.
Games can be updated and patched to fix any post-production problems and bugs.
The internet options allow for larger amount of players.
And let us not forget the High Definition Graphics of PC games that have existed for the past 3 years, even the XBOX360 and PS3 will have trouble matching.
Consoles are just stripped down computers anyway; the XBOX has been known to give the Blue Screen of Death, just like a Windows Based PC!
However, I do prefer console based RPGs and Hack n' Slashes.
Consoles are for the casual end-users who wish to play most of the mainstream games at an inexpensive price.
PC's, being a multifaceted tool, is for the hardcore and enthusiasts who desire top performance.

No contest, PC for me... Personally, I like to play alot of shooters on the pc, there is no way my Xbox's "360 included" can match the gore and detail of games such as FEAR and FarCry. That's just my opinion, shooters suck on the Xbox period. Sports games I prefer to play on my Xbox, but that's just me.

Haha alienware... Alienware is nothing but fancy shiny piece of shit. I just don't get ppl who buy alienware. I can upgrade my old pc for 400? to get better comp than any of those alienware pcs. Actually thats what I am going to do soon, because of oblivion. What? It cost just 400? to upgrade your old pc up to date. Yes, if you know how to do it.

Yeah never really got the whole elitist view of having an Alienware. I made a PC comparable to the topend Alienware, or better, for a fraction of the cost.
Plus you get the satisfaction of using a PC YOU pieced together. You choose how you want the case and layout to look, exact brands and types of hardware to be used and best of all no stupid cluttering software bundles. And if something goes wrong, there's only one person at fault, you(excluding DoA's). And because of that it's pretty easy to Tech Support yourself.
And so far, my experience with the computer I built, it's been more stable and less prone to virus attacks, etc. then all the Dell's my family use.
Hmm...I'll look into a poll.

Since I'm not a shooter fan, I'm an RPG fan. I like Final Fantasy series, Suikoden series, Shadow Hearts, Dragon Quest VIII, etc... on PS2. But I dont know why I am addidted to Halo1, Halo2 and PGR2 on Xbox. Because I like to play with my friends through system link, face to face.
Within 2 weeks, I'm getting tired of playing halo on PC. Why? The answer is so simple, 1 player per PC. So when my friends come over, there is no way to play game together on PC. IT is suck suck suck!!!
One thing I just figure it out, that you guys like to play games online or to play games alone. You guys dont have friends to come over and to play with each others. YOu guys are so boring. That is why you guys like to play games on PC.
YEAH, I take PC over xbox at any time on weekdays because I dont play games on weekdays. When come to weekends, I take Xbox over PC at any time.

No. I dont forget about laptops. Laptop is so limited. I wont handle games. If you want to buy one for games, yes it will cost $3,000+.
I agree with you guys that I rather buy PC than Xbox360.

First off laptops might be limited, but to say it'd cost you 3 Grand +, for a laptop that can game is ridiculous. Maybe a laptop that'll play FEAR and DOOM3 on high settings would cost 3,000+ but my laptop that I bought almost 2 years ago can play any MMO out there, BF42, Halo and pretty much every modern game. Hell it can even play DOOM3 and BF2 on low settings, and it's not even that good being 2 years old now. I'm not a big fan of laptops, but they can game for a reasonable price.
Second, I've got to agree: LAN parties. Not only can you game with your buddies face to face, but also with 25 or so other players because of the higher internet capabilities available with the PC. Hell, I own enough computers to set up myself and 3 of my friends on World of Warcraft and we've LAN'ed that like a bitch. We've done the same with HALO and BF2.
Third, it all depends on the social aspect and what systems your friends have. Two of my friends out of everyone I know, own an XBOX, and they're only at my college campus. Back home not one of my friends, or myself own an XBOX, thus it's much more fun to PC game and LAN.
Fourth, I love RPGs as well, and the PC has more RPGs available then the XBOX. But, we all know like TheReturn stated, if RPGs are a factor you already own a PS2. :P
Fifth, do I have to bring up console first person shooters?
PC FTW.

Well, I find it easier with a controller in my hand, its easier, cheaper and just all around better... With PC games you needa worry bout upgrading graphic cards and all. When playing with PC, you always have the chance of hitting the wrong key while watching the screen... XBOX controls where made for your hands... Perfect for it... Personnally i think XBOX is better, microsoft virtually made computers... Why would they made xboxs if they arent better? waste of moneys? I DONT THINK SO!

they made the x-box for people who want to play games but dont want PC or cant afford it.
the Xbox is like PC's little brother. the xbox is a stripped down version of a PC, made for mostly gaming.
The PC is superior to the XBox so there is no way Xbox can be better.

so that gives you reason to believe that the Xbox was made with computer based technology

no not a waste of "moneys" but a way to make more money

The button placement on a keyboard is always the same the only difference is sometimes they are different shapes and sizes. the only time ive seen different button placement on a keyboard is when the keyboard is made for a specific game.
Console controllers are always different. you have about 4 mainstream consoles rightnow not including handhelds Gamecube, PS2, xbox, and xbox360, all different controllers.

I agree with you when you say its easier,cheaper
but NOT! all around better.
If you have a hard time using keyboard and mouse for games there are microsoft controllers you can buy and plug em into your PC its the same exact thing except youre playing on a PC.
With all the new technology these days the Xbox is going to be obsolete pretty soon. Its the 360 now and even that is only up to par with midrange-lower end PCs

HAHAHA, omg, i am laughing soo much...man wagsdadog, this is what happens when a newbie comes in the conservation out of nowhere, im sorry man LOL, this just cracks me up, everyones just back firing at you, i agree with Shanikwa on the fact the key board keys are almost alike, seriously..you get use to every game unlike, the console..like..ps2 having the R1 R2 n etc. and the xbox having a left and right trigger....cuz seriously i've played with people on consoles and they complain about the fact, " oh yeah i needah ps2 controller" and etc... and for pc, they complain a little, but they realized the controls are the same with every game, such as for shooters...w, s , d , a are like the common moving controls... so yeah, you should do some testing or try out pc and you'll see what every pc gamers means.. other than that, it depends what genre of games you like to play too, so next time, i suggest you read posts from an earlier time on any thread, so you don't get put down again lol

alrite... Maybe i said some thigns wrong... I didnt mean the xbox is all round better, although i said that, i meant that most people find it easier... As I was saying, keyboards come in all different shapes and sizes- stick and old keyboard in your computer and then stick ur new (usb, wireless wateva) keyboard in... feel the difference, although its alwasy gunna be qwerty, they do slitely change... jus like xbox and ps2 controllers, they have slite differences but they are almost the same... Usually L2 (ps2) is grenade, and jus like xbox L2 (i think its called that) is throw grenade... almost every shooter that is... Ofcourse computers are always gunnabe better, cos... well, they just are... you can always upgrade computers, but you cant upgrade xboxs and ps2s(except for hdds)... Also, it doesnt matter if it says newb under my profile... thats only cos i dont spend every minute on afterdawn waiting for new replies and shit... PC games are alwasy gunna be better, but for me and alot of people in the world we find it easier just to be able to sit on the couch and have a controller and a remote after a hard days work, or school...

Well, the thread is 3 pages long, id rather look at the recent additions and reply to them... i dont have alot of time...
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Xbox and PS2 have also moved onto online gaming just like PC, consoles arent ALOT behind PCs...
