[QUOTE="Talislan, post: 4150551, member: 56858"] One quick thing to consider is when you are looking to get this. I love my 360 but it is over 2 yrs old and has slowed down somewhat with recent games. (Oblivion game of the year addition gives me ridiculously long loading times where the standard oblivion game was fine). Consequently I am looking to get a new one which will have a better drive and improved internal components. However, I have been advised to wait until at least June here in the UK for all the old stocks to be moved on and to be sure I get one of the latest models. This is not necessarily the most important factor in your decision making process (the console you buy is going to run the games either way), but I would heartily recommend finding out the build date of any machine you buy as components are upgraded all the time. That said, with Fallout 3 on the horizon and more rts, strategy, fantasy/scifi winging its way over there is no way I am giving up the 360 bug just yet. PC-wise I will only go with laptops due to personal preference on space and mobility around the house. Their only major let down, if you can justify forking out the dough for one, is lack of offline multiplayer. As it sounds like you want to have social use of whatever you get then I have to say that it is a console choice only that you need to make and the pc is no longer a worry. T. all in my most humble of opinions. [/QUOTE]
