I just now decided to join in on console gaming. Since as far back as I can remember I have been a pc gamer. I thought that games would not be up to par on the consoles. I was wrong. I just got an xbox 360 and games like red dead redemption and gears of war 2. Its so easy to get into and I dont have to worry about cheaters in multiplayer. Although now i worry ill end up spending so much upgrading my console HD and buying stuff on the marketplace. 
 
I will still game on PC, but mostly for RTS and MMO's. But so far im having a blast with my first console. I dont have enough for a TV so I hooked it up via my computer monitor and it works great. Not quite 1080p but very playable.

PC is where I do most of my stuff these days because I don't have a 360. I think you made a nice choice.
 
I did however buy a console 2 days ago, but it was a SNES.

I would have to say, if you own a gaming pc, purchasing a 360 over a PS3 (to me) seems like a step backwards.

Nice buy. The 360 has some great games on it. Hopefully you'll be able to get a Wii and PS3 sometime and get into some of their exclusives as well.

Because the PS3 has more exclusives that aren't also available on the PC platform, but what I was trying to say, to each his own.

I will be using my console for games that are console games. Not first person shooters which i will continue to play on my pc. But games like red dead redemption and gears of war 2  (not first person but still a shooter) are made for console. 
 
I MIGHT get MW2 in order to get away from the cheat hackfest that is the pc version however....

This is the new age of grammatical conscientiousness, Sega does what Nintendoesn't.

I agree.
