€70 per game? You must be mad, you can easily pick up 80% of new
releases for much less, Virgin have specials for €55 on new releases
and Play-Asia can get you new releases for €35-45.

Regradless you can still pick up PC games for a hell of alot less, you'll get deals on Pc games too remember. if you're going to do varying prices, at least be fair and do it to both formats.


For me mods bring alot to the PC, some of the battlefields mods are better than the game, i got years of play out of homeworld2 and the various mods out for it.

And €1400 for a tv to go with a 360... Pah... U can get LCDs for way less.. Mate has a 32" Mirai that he got for €410 n its perfect for the 360. Better pic quality than the 22" dell he was using beforehand...

So u can get a premium and 32" lcd for about €800. As was said games are mostly about €55 n u can trade them in when ur done... not possible with pc titles(then again, there is adverts) Add a nice laptop(dell vostros on sale at the mo that could handle a bit of light gaming, counter strike, cod etc).. Say €700.

Thats ur console n PC gaming all in for €1500...

Your pc wont give you the 3 red lights either :rolleyes:

Its down to personal preference really... I myself find them both good, once I get a job though ill be back upgrading my pc aswell as buying games for my 360

Keyboard and Mouse might be more accurate, but I'd take a console controller over it any day. I never liked using the keyboard for games, it was designed for typing and I find using WASD to move around and things like the tab key to bring up scoreboards just plain unintuitive.

Console controllers fit into the hand nicely, all the buttons are easily within reach and on the 360 controller for example the triggers feel great (better than clicking a mouse). It's a much more user friendly way of controlling the game in my opinion.

Fair play for posting that, Dcully! And glad to see you're getting on well with pad gaming now too, "You'll get the hang of it" is the kind of thing we'd always say but until you've tried it and gotten used to it there's no way to really convince people. I'm not online much atm but feel free to drop me a friend request anyway (GT: psychokitten)

I can never use the default WASD keyboard set up. Too many keys cramped together. I have to remap the basic controls to the arrow keys for movement, right control for jump and 0\Ins for crouch

You say that you find it easier to use a pad than keyboard and mouse, there is a auto aim on consoles for a reason, did you ever try to play without it, well i found it impossible. I Prefare PC for a few reasons, mouse is much easier to aim with than a stick, servers arn't set up by people who when someone does something on their PC it effects the game and when they leave you get disconnected, also the community I can't say all gaming people on console are annoying 10 year olds but it seems to have alot as with pc there are only usually one or two per server, it is a bit unfair to say that because i know there are decent players on it but they're harder to find, also the player count, what is it? max 16 players? nothing beats bf2 highway tampa with 64 players and clans arn't really clans. Well that's my take on it anyway.

Yea theres auto aim in COD4, ive said it loads but portal is impossible with a controller, im not talknig about the main game now just the extra challenges ive been at it months and haven't finished it!

Xbox360 pad wins for comfort but not for accuracy! Mouse/Keybord defo more accurate. Saying that though I do find the Keyboard and mouse comfortable cause ive used it alot and im used to it!

Also I checked it WASD are only slightly more cramped than ABXY on the pad... ONLY SLIGHTY if not the same! Arrow keys would be the same!

but theres nothing like sitting back and playing some viva pinata with a pad lol
