i have been xboxing it up for a while but have now had a third xbox break on me. f++king outrageous in my opinion.blimin overheating and xclamp issues... cannot return as case has been opened to do the xclamp.
instead of buying a new console am considering spending the money i would spend on a new core console on a decent graphics card and am gonna get the geforce 8800 gt. My pc is already pretty decent (though not total gaming machine)
i do enjoy FPS and the online experience from xbox live. Have found out that you can also play online with windows live (which is free) .
Couple of questions
1)how good is playing games like cyrsis and call of duty 4 online on PC. is it as good as xbox live or better. i generally used to prefer gaming on pc due to keyboard mouse combo.
2) my pc is in loft connected on monitor and also connected to plasma in lounge via long 3 m vga cable.pc in cloned mode. i discovered you can get a 360 wireless controller usb receiver for windows. Which means i could use my 360 controller to play pc games. now the thinking behind this is i would still be able to play games the same way i normally did but without the xbox. IE sitting in lounge with 360 controllor on plasma tv. Will the long vga cable cause any problems for gaming like this ???
if this means i dont need to buy another xbox then i will be very happy indeed.though will miss xbox live a bit
