this is my last post pick it apart as you want
What's to pick apart? You dug yourself a grave and basically laid yourself in it. You failed to mention how it's $400 for a 360 ONLY. You didn't include the cost of controllers, a headset, and a membership to Xbox Live. Your $400 360 doesn't come with free games either. Also, your Half-Life 2 360 copy cannot utilize the hundreds of Source mods out there that play like individual games. Your 360 will last you until the next gen of consoles come out, and, unlike a PC, you end up retiring it instead of putting in a measly $200 or $300 for a video card upgrade. So, again, when the next wave of consoles come out, which, I would think, will be more expensive, they will also come with either one or no controllers, and, again, you will have to go through the same process all over again.
In the long run and investment-wise, consoles are bad choices. They're virtually money pits with dead ends and little to none modification possibilities and are sold on the main point that they're fast and easy to use and play. Also, the console serves only one purpose and can harness only one mindset; gaming. The PC is a long time investment that will last you for as long as your PC can live. It also serves multiple purposes, harnesses high modification possibilities, and you don't have to throw it away when they come out with the new models.
So, in the long run, not only does the PC offer more options then current consoles can offer, but it is also a safer and cheaper investment, so all of these points about how consoles are cheap and what not are moot, especially after what I just said.
