Why... Are graphics the ONLY thing that matters to you?
No. The majority of games that are released eventually come out for PC. Why buy a console when you have a gaming rig?
Because I can't play a good racer, a good platformer, a good fighting game, etc... on the PC. I can't play God of War, Resident Evil 4, etc on the PC.
The PC alone just doesn't offer the quantity nor the quality that a PC AND a 360 can. ;)

By the way, have you seen Fight Night 3 on the 360? The graphics are better than any PC game I've seen. And yes, it really does look that good!


Yeah, I agree Fight Night: Round 3 and Project Gotham 3 look great and are not for the PC. But my point is; things like Call Of Duty 2 aren't that great on the 360. The sandbags for example, have terrible AA, but on the PC the AA can be cranked up and it looks smooth. But on the other hand, I'd really like to see a PC handle Fight Night: Round 3 smoothly;)

DOA4 is great fun and it looks great. Can't wait to download the Fight Night demo... Xbox Live is really a great bonus for consoles IMO even if you never use it for anything more than downloading demo before you sink $60 in a game.

CoD2 is on the 360 just a crappy rushed port of a great game. If it wasn't a launch title I'm sure it would have had plenty of AA as well as some AF and respectable online support.

So, because of that one example, you should never buy a console?

But I suppose if that's your theory, so be it... But you'll be missing out on some great games. :p
