I'm currently playing Rainbow six Vegas on the pc and although it's a stunning game I'm annoyed the specs seem so high to me that I'm running it at low res with things set to medium or low. I would love to play it at full etc I can't afford to continually upgrade my PC so that its at a level that can play the most recent games at high resolutions etc. So this got me thinking, some of the more recent PC games were just console ports (GRAW, Splinter Cell:Double Agent) anyway and scored higher on the 360. Plus it's looking like the 360 is going to get major games like GTA 4 long before the PC release.
Is the xbox 360 the future of PC gaming for those who can't afford to buy the latest equipment?
The only sticking point I've found is that currently i see no mention of Crysis and QW:enemy territory on the 360 but these games seem to be the minority, the majority of big games in development seem to be on 360.
I know to some people it would be simply a case of being nice to the parents or waiting till pay day but unfortunately I'm in the last year of uni, getting married in the summer (if all goes to plan) and financially uncertainty looming once uni ends and I need to find a decent job. So to me its more of an investment than a luxury thats why i want peoples opinions, I don't want to save for a few months buy one then find out the next console is virtually ready to come out.
