Should i upgrade my pc or buy xbox 360?

buy the Xbox 360 250GB (aka xbox 360 slim) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003O6JJKY?ie=UTF8&tag=0610-20 Review: I am extremely picky about any hardware I use. Having owned both models of the PS3 and a few Xbox 360s (that I bought and sold over time) I have pretty high expectations. Personally I think Xbox live is much better then PSN which is why I jumped from PS3 back to Xbox. My big issue was the hardware. Microsoft took care of a big issue by allowing users to burn their games to the hard drive. However, the fan noise on my Xbox Elite was still driving me crazy. Now my Elite wasn't broken, my ears just seem to attune to the noise they make. It especially drove me crazy when playing games like Puzzle Quest or when browsing the dash board. In this case the PS3 fat and slim where hands down superior (hardware build wise). But like many a fans I put up with the crappy build quality for the sake of a better interface and of course my friends list. Now onto the new Xbox 360. Let me just say that for once I am very proud of Microsoft. They seem to have taken all the complaints from users and fixed them. This is the system they should have released long ago. The very first thing I noticed is how silent this machine is. Even after running for over an hour you can barely hear the fan. I would go as far as to say it's even more silent then the PS3 slim (which I found to be louder then the fat model). The new Xbox has a strange but cool new look. I don't understand why people are complaining that it is a finger print magnet. How often do you really touch your system once it's in place? The buttons on the front are now touch sensitive instead of pressing them in, and make a cool noise I must say. I'm happy to say that even my disc drive is quite. It's almost as quite running a disc as the fans on my Elite were. There are no old school memory card ports, but they upped the USB ports to 5. 2 on the front and 3 in the back. The new 250GB hard drive is removable. There is a button on the right side vent that you can press and remove the plate. The hard drive is in a special case but it's easier to move. The only downside to this is the people that take their hard drives to their friends house, but this can be fixed by using a USB drive now. The controller is pretty much the same as the Elites plus a couple changes. The bottom portion of the controller that was gray shaded is now a shiny black and the Xbox button is shiny chrome. All in all goes will with the package. The ear cushion on the headset is also now black instead of grey. Microsoft also has a picture of a black chat pad and wireless headset on the box for the new 360. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a black controller charger. To close, I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. It's a worthy upgrade and one that shows Microsoft is actually listening for once. Also for those planning to get Kinect there is a dedicated port so on the new system which will let you use the camera with one less cable.

buy new xbox 360 is just waste of money .if i was you then i will go for upgradation coz you can configure your pc as your choice........minimum gaming pc should have graphic card supptorted pixel shader and having vRam of 1gb or more Physical Ram 3gb or more(i suggest you for DDR3 ram they are quite fast and performe very well) Fast sata hard drive(7600rpm or more) and on ur choice can go for good controller.. this all save your money but also give you oppurtunity for further upgradation....................

It depends on what you are looking for. If you like games only for Xbox360, then that would be your answer. If you are looking for a different view of online gameplay, then upgrade your PC. You will end up spending more on fixing up your PC for games, but you will be rewarded heavily on the experience. I have both Xbox360 and a gaming PC i built. I prefer the PC over Microsoft's big scheme into making money console system. You have to pay for online gaming, yet alone, also pay for Netflix if you want movies. It adds up to the same as having a good running gaming PC after about 2 years. Xbox360 is very limited at options where PC has unlimited resources. Playstation3 does have some advantages, but is also limited to gaming/blu rays, and some media. If you are looking only for Modern Warfare2, then the PS3 would be your best bet. For anything else, the PC would be best choice. As long as PC games are made, console games are made too. So, they need each other hand in hand. If your looking at die hard gaming and graphics, PC has the absolute best that no console system can mimic. Remember, PS3 and Xbox360 are 5 yrs behind on computer tech.

I have a laptop which i use to play some older games and its OK, but if you want to play next gen games like COD MW2 on a Gaming Desktop then i wouldnt upgrade a PC, and neither would i buy an XBOX 360, I would go for a PS3, Its much better, Its Blu-Ray, Its free to play online, and is newer so i woud bye a Ps3, because its getting cheaper now! I hope it helps :) PS. Gaming PC's will go out of date in like 2 years so you will need to upgrade it often because new games get much more demanding every 6 months or every year :) If you get a PS3 remember to get a HDMI Cable
