PC for a 360?
5:28 PM

I want an Xbox 360 premium...I want Gears of War. But I haven't found a way to make that money...but then I thought of this: sell my gaming PC for a 360.

It's not as bad as it sounds. I barely play PC games anymore. The last time I launched UT2004 or Half-Life 2 was many many months ago. Not to mention, my PC is up to snuff when it comes to newer games like Oblivion and GRAW and whatever. And if Gears of War does come to PC someday, my PC has no chance in hell of running it...well, running it well (this is assuming I have Vista when the time comes).

A 360 (Premium) would be better than my PC, gaming wise!

And if I got rid of my PC, I would not be computerless! I would still have my Macbook. My Macbook is noticeably faster than my PC! It's just got less hard drive space and it won't run as many games. But it has a DVD burner, so I could easily back up data if I ran out of space. I've also got XP on my Mac, via Boot Camp, so all Windows functionality is kept!

But I'm still not sure on whether I should sell my PC or not. My mom probably wouldn't let me, but whatever.

In case you're interested, here are the specs of the PC:

selling your pc might not be a bad idea, because like you said, the mac book is faster and can run both OS X and Windows.. and you could probably install linux or something on the 360 and use it like another gaming pc.. by the way, how much do you want for your pc... cuz i need a new computer pretty bad.. mine is so out of date. are you gonna sell the monitor with it?
