How is PC gaming better or different than the xbox 360?

I don't own a Xbox, but I have played on my friends' and know they are fantastic for playing games. Because I don't have an Xbox, I enjoy playing PC games. You can buy two types of Pc games, the disk games ( which are getting less common) and downloaded ones. here are loads of PC websites where you can download games, different websites for different types of games, and websites that offer free trials. And I would definitely say that computer games are way cheaper than Xbox games. If you are going to buy a laptop Simply for gaming; make sure you buy one with a lot of storage and memory; this would cost around £400 for a decent one. Hope I helped? Bearing in mind, that less and less games are being made specifically for laptops and computers, being that more people use Xbox's and PlayStation's to play games. As for the graphics, I will admit that Xbox is defiantly better, because it is built for having amazing graphics. And the Controls for using games will be easier on Xbox's although gaming controls for laptops can be bought especially.

Q: But is there a noticable difference between gaming on an Xbox 360 with a 1080p tv and gaming on a laptop? A: Yes. Depending on your hardware, the PC countepart of the game will look much better. 99% of video games on consoles run @ 720p and are noticeably worse in terms of graphics. This is because consoles are limited by there old generation hardware. Q: I like how the xbox 360 has a friends list and parties, and just being organized. Is the pc gaming community anything like that? A: You bet. There are several platforms that you can use to communicate with friends. They have friends lists, achievements, games lists, marketplaces, etc. The four major platforms for PC are: Steam (this would be the "equivalent" to Xbox Live), Xfire, Games For Windows Live (this is literally Xbox Live on PC. You can chat with Xbox players and you use the same Xbox Live account as your 360), and Origin. IMO, the PC community platforms are much better then Xbox Live. Q: And I also heard it costs a lot of money to keep it up to speed with the latest tech A: Not necessarily. I didn't upgrade my PC for over four years. Technically, we should've seen a new console by now (Xbox 720 / PS4), but the industry is way behind. They're trying to milk the current gen consoles for all it's worth. (the standard console lifespan is 5 years). Q: How much does a decent gaming laptop cost and how often would I have to update it? A: You cannot update laptops, and IMO, the word "gaming" shouldn't be put with "laptop." A laptop can never be a true gaming PC. If you're willing to build the PC yourself, it will cost you around $700 (what i recommend for a first timer). If you don't build it yourself (you buy a prebuilt for a company) it'll cost you around $900. Laptops will cost you around $1400 and will be equivalent to a $600 desktop computer Q: Also, are there any huge cons to pc gaming? A: The biggest con to PC gaming is the price. It is considerably more expensive then console gaming.
