You're an idiot. Don't get offended, you play on a system intended for idiots who want a plug and play experience without having to know anything.
Way easier to cheat, true. So you play on servers that have good admins who are on frequently. Also, you do realize that if you don't like playing with a keyboard and mouse, you can plug in a controller, right ? Besides that, you talk about playing games like Halo and COD then imply a controller is better than a keyboard and mouse ? LOL, you'd get destroyed in any online FPS on a PC if you used a controller and they used KBs and mice. Console systems literally have nothing on PC games as far as graphics go. Even a midrange gaming computer is far more capable than the XBOX 360 these days. Does the XBOX 360 have anti-aliasing ? Anisotropic filtering ? Advanced physics processing ? Hell, even the resolution on the 360 games is generally limited to 720p, which would be considered LOW resolution for PC gamers. There are tons of other graphics technologies that modern graphics cards are capable of that the current consoles are not. Also, you can hook your PC up to your HDTV as well, so that's moot.

O snap buddy didnt know I offended you. My bad. Im guess you didnt read what I said but thats cool most ppl dont. OR the part were I did say I play PC games as well.SHoot I even still play doom. Yes I know you can plug a controller into a computer. Have done it before. Yes a computer can do a whole lot of things with graphics. But give me a break its not that holy as ppl make it out to be.The controller I didnt imply anything about a controller being better then a key board and mouse. To each his own. My comment was to another post back a page. Saying he would be lost if playing on a gaming system and had to use a controller. And would have to plug in a keyboard and mouse lol. And this statment " So you play on servers that have good admins who are on frequently. " I wounder how true that is. I have played COD on the PC and watched guys flying in the air shooting down at others and be Like WTF. Has happen way to often. Other times I seen the in the board itself, Like In a wall. They can shoot you but you cant shoot them. O before you snap yes I know cheating goes on the xbox as well. I could really care less what system or pc anyone plays. Im NOT like a crazy gamer like some ppl are ,who have all the downloads, Or wait till all hours of the night for a new map to come out. SO in ending being you missed me saying I play PC games too. I guess that would make me a idiot for the game systems and a genius for playing PC games.

I bought one the first month they came out and i'm now on my 4th since then. I know I'm the minority here but I really hate playstation controllers and really like 360 controllers.

i gave up and sold both my 360's, i got a few e74 codes and the dvd drives dont last espically when you mod them to read burned games. Switched to ps3 and regret ever spending money on xbox 360's.

Xbox 3shittys ( tm by me) are so bad at failing i went and bought a 2nd plain arcade to use when my main one is being sent away. I use it as a media hub and it is a total pain in the *** to be without. In 3 years i have gone threw 4 RROD consoles and they are used maybe a few hours a day and most of that is as a media hub. But then there are people like my one friend who's 3shitty is on atleast 12 hours a day and it was bought on launch day and is still kickin just fine.

Ive been wanted to get a ps3 for awhile now but refuse to help sony recoup some of the billions they lost winnin the format wars by buying there overpriced console that has like maybe 2 exclusives that are worth playing. That and having to do 5 gig instals on most games cause blueray cant read faster enough blows to.

I have had 2 xbox 360's no problems with either one. "first one sold it second one still have"

ive had my elite for about 2 years now and on average play 6 hrs a week and not a single problem.

I do have a friend tho that had a first gen and bought it about 6 months after launch. Well it died early this year... BUT only after playing hardcore, 15+ hrs a week and leaving it on nearly 24/7.

See thats the other problem they have with them over heating ppl playing them every hour of the day. I seen a guy on halo have over 10,000 plus matches just on ranked. Thats not counting his soc, costum and just playing for the hell of it. Think most of the games are 30 minutes long. 30 times 10k= you have to think its going to go at some point.

some of my friends have had good luck with the towel trick, but the heatsink fix is supposed to be better but its worth a try. or buy a ps3, lol
