Over the last few days I have been running my PC through HDMI onto my 1080p TV. The difference between playing the PC though it in terms of visual over the 360 (for the same games) is like night and day.
 
Has anyone else done this? Seeing as i can play games using the 360 controller, which is connected to the computer, it kind of makes my 360 useless.
 
I guess it saves money not paying extra for console games and I can upgrade the PC whenever I want.
 
Who else has done the switch?

I play both but I prefer to play on my PC. I use my 360 mostly for driving games, third person shooters and exclusives.
Edit; I also use my 360 for multiplayer games.

Pretty much the same here, I play everything but prefer PC overall. Though I have never done anything quite like hooking it up to my TV and I dont plan to.

Yeah I do like racing games on the 360 but with the wireless controller receiver and TV, its just the same really. 
 
I do also have a PS3 for those exclusives but being able to see the games running on the TV on full HD really steps it up.

Yea I made the switch, a few years ago my 360 died and since then I've never really felt the need to own another console, there are not enough games on the consoles I like to justify the purchase.

OH MAN I AM REMOVING YOU FROM MY STEAM FRIENDS LIST.
 
just kidding.
 
My TV wouldn't like my PC output, but even if it did, I'd miss the games that are on 360 but not on other platforms.

To me it feels like MS are trying to pull everyone from PC gaming to add them to the Xbox install base, so in my opinion in makes no sense to switch to PC exclusively. But hey, i'm a fan of all gaming platforms and i am especially looking forward to the release of Starcraft 2. And i guess if visuals are your thing (Dirty Graphics whore, joking, i also passed out when i seen crisis running at its full monty on a 47") PC does prevail.

Mainly all my FPS games are played on my PC. I love the fact that if you get a game off steam you don't have to pay taxes. Its not huge savings, but they add up. That, and nothing will ever replace the keyboard/mouse for shooters... NOTHING!

what about spltscreen with friends and whatnot.? Ive been really thinking of making the transition myself by investing in building a new computer, but what about splitscreen? whether it be with friends playing streetfighter or tekken, or playing left for dead with my girlfriend? It would be awesome if I could get proper splitscreen support for pc. then I'd definitly switch, but until then the two will coexsist. anyone know a fx for this???

PC hooked up to a 50" 1080p Kuro plasma baby. Although I have the 360 and PS3 hooked up to it as well and you are right about it being night and day.

I had my pc connected to my tv for a good 2 weeks and i went back to my monitor, now iam thinking about buying a 42incher just for my pc.

I don't play hardcore PC games and uber graphics are not my thing.  However, I really love my RTS games on my Mac (running Windows for most) and connecting it to my 106cm HD plasma is superb (not HDMI though, just regular PC connection).  Just having the big screen for Civilisation is worth the money I paid for the extra cables.  Still not giving up home consoles though.

I play less and less the xbox 360, and more the pc. 
 
I don't know if i'll buy a new console again, unless it is a ps2, as i have a ton of games for it, and i love them. 
 
But the new consoles don't have the same appeal to me unfortunatly for them.

I would keep your 360. What are you going to say when Gears of War 3 comes out? Also there are games that only come out for consoles and not PC that are great. Like Condemned 2: Bloodshot, The Darkness, Final Fantasy series, etc.

Yea it's nice to have a console to play those exclusive games like Final Fantasy or gears of War or Drake's Fortune. Nothing beats the mods for PC though like Fall Out 3 and Half Life 2 mods which are free and are amazing.

I just recently got a nice enough computer this year to run modern games again, and I've played most things I can run on the PC on the PC now.  I much prefer L4D2 on PC than on 360.  I do need to upgrade my graphics card though.  It's holding me back a lot, I could run many more games if I just upgraded it.  But alas, Christmas has rendered me broke.

I suspect this is a trend we'll see up until the next console lifecycle. My hypothesis is that as the developers push the limits of the consoles, they produce games that have the possibility of looking even better when they aren't constrained to the limits of a particular console.
 
At the same time, it is extremely hard to argue with the ease of use of consoles. I don't expect a PC dominance after another year, I just expect a statistically noticeable rise in PC [re]adoption.

Join the dark side. We have less jaggies ^ ^. 

Yeah i will miss Gears or War 3, but i may rent or borrow a console for that. I will still be keeping my PS3 however, too many interesting titles for that coming out. 
 
Plus the blu-ray is a must for me, considering the TV i got. 
 
But yeah the PC coupled with the wireless 360 controller is more or less an uber graphics 360, so why not?

Agreed. I like to hook my pc up to my big ass tv and chill on my couch with my wireless 360 controller. I did that same thing and ran resident evil 5 on 360 and pc...holy crap totally different and I dont have to tell you which one won that.

i just sold my 360 to put together a PC

After all the steam deals, I feel stupid for even buying console games (at $60.00 a pop).
I got these games at about these prices over the past couple days on steam:

1. Torchlight $10 (was $4.95)
2. Ghostbusters $7
3. Mirrors Edge $4
4. GTA IV $7
5. Audio Surf $2
6. Braid $2
7. Lucas Arts adventure pack (2x Indiana Jones, Loom and some other one) $2

To be honest I think I bought a couple more, but I bought so much that I can't even remember. Having bought AC2, MW2, Demon's souls, Uncharcted 2 for the consoles, the PC seems to even out in terms of hardware costs and game costs compared to the initial console cost plus the super expensive games. Plus you can do everything else on the PC like render video and edit photos and watch... videos hehehe "
