i'm planning on buying an X360 in the next couple of months (if I don't get it for new years <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />)
And most likely I'll use it more than my 3y old laptop which can hardly run any game at all.
With a console you'll at least have the assurance that you can play the games you buy and that you won't have to buy a new one in 2-3 years. consoles are SO much cheaper than PC's.
I think PC gaming is over for me
