I picked the PERFECT time to ditch PC Gaming and go for an Xbox 360. So far this Xbox 360 has cost me.

  • $350.00 for Xbox 360 "Pro" Package
  • $70 for used Xbox 360 Wireless Network adapter
  • $15 for an Xbox 360 Rechargable Battery for the the Wireless Controller
  • For a grand total of....$435.00 + tax

I actually found out I could have gotten the Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter for $50, so I could have gotten it for a little cheaper.

Now lets see how much its going to cost me to upgrade it every six months, (whats that?.... huh?...seriously?....ummm.....)
Ok, it seems I actually dont have to upgrade it....ever.

Alright, but how much time will I spend fixing it, installing games, tweaking settings, etc....(whAT!?.....Seriously!??!.....Ok, ok ok...)
Um...I guess I dont have to do that either...

So I guess I just...uuuuh...put the game in the tray and close it?
(wait a sec....I still owe Microsoft some money right?.....No?.....Uhhh...)

So far in the few weeks I've owned the console I've bought 12 games. Alot of them believe it or not....I got used for a lot cheaper!

And heres the kicker, when Im done playing them If I want to I can trade them back in for money!

Take that PC Gaming!

I say I picked a great time to switch because....Nvidia JUST released a "new" video card. Yet another $600+ video card thats only marginaly better then the last release, at full cost. Not that I would have bought it but if people want to keep up with PC Gaming they need some seriously deep pockets.

Keep in mind this is coming directly from a PC Gamer who has a job!

If your still playing PC Games you should do the right thing, join the club, and get an Xbox 360 or PS3!
