Hey guys, I'm back from my trip to the UK. While I was there, I took the courtesy of picking up one of the new Xbox 360 Slim - my first console ever :D
Glossy black Phillips HD television looks nice with glossy black Xbox 360 Slim :D
Now for those whose are wondering - Crev, are you turning into a console fanboy?
The simple answer is, NO.
I worked out my PC upgrade would cost at least 3 times as much the price of a console, and also would not have as long a life span. Since computers go out of spec every three months, I thought it was better to 'invest' my money in a console instead. It also means my dad doesn't need to spend more money on a new DVD player :P
In many ways, the Xbox 360 is much more user-friendlier as well as more approachable to new people who are unfamiliar to new technologies. It is also much more media integrated than a PC as well. Acting as an extender for Windows Media Center, movies and music can be streamed directly from my desktop.
Make no doubt though, as I still feel that the controls for FPSes on consoles are not as what I would call, precise. Whilst the triggers may be appropriate for arcade or driving/simulation games, console fanboys still don't have the right to brag over the Xbox's inferior aim-assist system in FPS games.
One more thing. I love my PC, and will still be using that for FPS games.
I'm taking the alternative to the die-hard fanboys on either side - experience or take an opportunity to feel and try either way of the scale; hardcore gaming to the softer, but still fun, console gaming.

P.s. I'm also finishing off an article on reasons why you SHOULDN'T go on the London Underground. You'll see. :P
