what ya choose?

360 for me. I used to play games on the PC but I couldn't keep up with the constant need to upgrade my graphics card/cpu/etc... every couple of years. And then having to tinker with settings to find a balance between a pretty game and a smooth game.

Bah.

I think the games on 360 look awesome, love the controller, love the online stuff and I can watch movies, listen to music, etc... all streamed from my PC. Easy.

In saying that, I've just ordered a new PC rig with a 24" Dell U2410 specifically for photography that could run Crysis REALLY well...

Must... not... be... tempted...

same... i started with home computer, then made the switch.. reluctantly.. to xbox. laying on your couch, with a big screen is much more better then sitting at a desk

I like nintendo, they seem to have the biggest variety of games that you can just pick up and play. Besides, who doesn't love a Mario game.

PC, easily.

I grew up with consoles and could never seem to get on with PC gaming. My 360 replaced the Dreamcast as my favourite console

Excluding the PC, I'd pick the Dreamcast, the DS lite or the SNES but there's so much you can do on the PC - from full price games with digital distribution, to mods and total conversions, to free games, to emulation - it still feels like consoles are playing catch up (and claiming to be innovative while they do it).

Since card games were not an option ...

roxymodest · 09-03-2009, 11:00 AM

i want a wii

i think that'd be the more likely option for me...

i can't sit in front of a screen for too long, so PC games are out. i loves me some playstation but it gets boring after a while...

or i'm just not that big of a geek. and i like moving around and about.
