New Pedal vs. X-Box 360

[NihilistNixon]

I have a new cable and all this fancy stuff but lately I've been missing video games quite a bit (esp. Fallout: New Vegas). So I must decide on what I strat saving up for next between the Earthquaker Sea Machine or a new 360. What do you guys think?

Pedal.
Or buy a used CPU and video card with the money.
and then every game is free

What could I do with the CPU?

I'd say get the 360, more pedals is good too but I like having a variety of things around the house to keep myself entertained.

I just play games on the desktop.

New Vegas on even a moderate machine is amazing.

My laptop has a terrible display driver. Like even Youtube videos can cause it to spazz out. Its a very depressing machine.

That's sad, although a moderate desktop used might pay for itself in game savings.

F3 and F3: New Vegas cost me $12 over the Christmas sale on Steam.

There's an annual *huge* game sale coming up around the 4th of July for whatever game convention or other it is, it's literally "I save a couple hundred bucks for the 75-90% off stuff on all the online sites" every year.

This.

As for the PC gaming argument, yeah, it's good. Though, even being a total tech nerd like myself, I prefer consoles over tweaking a gaming PC over and over.

It's easier to just grab a console and roll with it until the next one comes out.

[rfurtkamp]

I tweak a gaming PC once, back up the operating system on install, and in the event of an issue, just hit restore.

No tweaking ever again, updating drivers only when necessary.

I love my PS3 to death. Don't get me wrong, I like pedals too, but my PS3 is what gets me through late nights of no sleep and the boredom associated with my everyday life.

Straight peeeddddddddggggggeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[excane]

Pedal.

Then pick up one of these for about 30 bucks:

You get both - it's a WIN WIN.

360 for sure man! But if I were you, honestly, I'd either A)pick up a cheap system or B) wait until Microsoft releases the new one. It's coming out next year I think.
