Xbox is easily the better console because it is 100 times less expensive, no upgrading, less frustrating, controllers and no stupid keyboards.

Halo is the only thing besides Star wars: knights of the old republic that is worth playing on the XBOX! A mouse is always far more accurate than a controller will ever be.
Yes price and upgrades along with some people who dont know how to handle a situation
when a PC starts giving crap all give the PC a bad name, given that I would prefer a PC to any XBOX, PS2, or Gamecube! I have played video games for 18 years and never truly reached gaming bliss that is untill I got a PC. I have played and owned most systems from the Atari on up to the gamecube(that is well over a thousand video games I have played).

I technically wouldn't call the PC a console.

I agree, a PC is tecnically not a console but a multitool machine where you do work, play, or other personal stuff like messengers or chat. Personally, I would take the keyboard and mouse and have the Xbox controller in the trash can since there isn't anything special on the Xbox. Notice some of the games appeared on Gamespy's most overrated games and Dead or Alive 3 and Halo (Xbox) actually made the list too. HA!

GameSpy hate the Xbox - they always have. I bet they were pissed when they were forced to make Halo a Planet site (good on Fluffy!).

I personly never asociate with GameSpy, they are the mega critics of the gaming world. I won't say anything else, I don't want to upset anyone.

Oh yeh Ekul1021 i think youve got something mixed up, pc is barely 10% a gaming machine, gaming is just an added feature for pc, their mainly for websites, buisness, work etc. on the other hand xbox is 100% pure gaming machine with the add on's of dvd and cd playability. and of all the pc and xbox games ive played, on pc their frustrating and on xbox they look better and are more enjoyable. oh and i dont know how you can stand aiming with a mouse, its much easier and accurate to move you thumb up, down, left, right rather than your whole hand.

They actually rated the HaloPC version a 5 star, but then Gamespy started out as a PC gaming site so there is always bias review toward console games.

And thats why people make money while you probably have to beg momma to buy you Halo and Xbox while you use her computer.

And you having an Xbox makes you the game-god? Oh Wait I have one too.

Well Good for you.

And your purpose in the PC Halo forum is...? Loser. Simple. Notice I just make one sentence to your whole post since you're just another Xbox extreme fanatics not to mention giving a bad name to the whole Xbox community. But other then that, Happy Flaming.

Sorry "Loser" but if you didnt notice, this topic is now in the flood. And my mother wouldnt know how to turn a computer on, i am the only one in my family to play games on the computer, and that the experience is better on the xbox because its a "game" console. this just started out that the pc is not "100% gaming machine" it is mearly a feature for it. the xbox being a "game" console is 100 % gaming machine, and because it is built up using computer technology, you saying that xbox is garbage is also implying that the pc is garbage as well. "LOSER"

PC will always be the best system for gaming. It is superior in every field except price, but considering the massive technical advantage it has and the nigh-limitless things you can do with a PC it is clearly the best invention ever devised let alone the best game system.

I'm not sure if having a better PC would change my choice, but I picked Xbox, because my PC isn't that good. Plus, it is alot less expensive than buying a whole new high-end PC, and a $600 graphics card.

I hate the PC because
a) I HATE the mouse. It sucks, hands down.
b) I HATE the keyboard. It sucks, hands down.
c) I HATE playing multiplayer when everyone lags and it screws up the game.
d) There is NO split screen option.
e) I HATE the ease of which some people hack into various games and throw the match.
f) My favorite games are on other consoles anyway.

FPS's just seem to work better on the PC. The mouse/keyboard combo is the best control for the genre.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Um... a PC is not a console. A Console cannot be upgraded. You can't open up your Xbox, PS2, GC, 64, SNES etc. and make it run games that are coming out now our in the future. A PC can be upgraded. You can take an old PC and make it top of the line by gutting it and replacing the parts. You can't do that with Consoles. So this is a rather bad poll.

I'll be on my own side.

maybe the poll should have said "whats your favorite gaming platform?" thats better.
