You can do so much more on Vista than on a 360.

What? That's bullcrap. We all have our prefrences, but no need to diss Xbox or joypads.

If using a controller with analog sticks was so optimal for first-person shooters, then they wouldn't have scripted auto-aim into the game when your targeting reticule is red.

Because you're retarded if you're honestly comparing an operating system to a console. That's like saying, "Why would you buy a go-kart when you could get a V8 engine?"

Why buy a console when you can get a kickass gaming PC instead? After all, there's nothing PCs don't have or can't do compared to a console.

Yeah, no need to disrespect. But it's not dumb if you play first-person shooters on a PC with a mouse and keyboard. :)

I actually enjoy both...PC for precision and Joypad for ease of use.....Its a lot easier to get to everything you need on a 360 controller than it is a keyboard....at least for me...besides...why not have both? =P

At least for you. I laugh at people who prefer the controller over the mouse and keyboard because it's "easier to use." To me, that translates to "there are too many buttons on a keyboard for me to count." Honestly, do PC gamers have a hard time finding their keys when they play?

A bit stupid topic to come up with. You don't buy an OS just to play games, thats what a console is for. If your gonna buy an OS your gonna do a lot more with it than play games. And Vista can pretty much do everything a 360 can do and millions, possibly billions of more things that an XBOX 360 can do. Comparing an OS, especially the latest and most advanced version, to a console made 2-3 years ago is just stupid. Thats like comparing your house to the rest of the world, you just can't win. OS will ALWAYS be better at general stuff, whether it be gaming, browsing, listening to music, whatever, PC's and OS's are superior to that of a console. But hey, if I had the money, I'd get a 360, I wouldn't of gotten Vista, if I didn't get it for free :-).

If you want to play it that way, Xbox 360 = no Crysis or DX10 games. Oh, by the way, Gears of War is being ported to the PC.

Wow, what the Hell do you think Xbox Live is? Some magical alternative method for consoles to link up with other players around the world? It's called the Internet, and yeah, if you weren't smart enough to realize it, consoles use it too.

So? Ever heard of anti-virus protection? Firewalls? Anyway, the only time you're probably going to get said "viruses" is if you're stupid enough to get yourself into a situation where you'd get one (i.e. downloading suspicious files off the Interent), which in that case, you might deserve it.

Plus, what the PC can do and the games for its market compared to the limitations and short-comings of consoles vastly outweighs its disadvantages for getting "viruses" and not having some console titles that most PC gamers would probably not care about anyway.
