Upgrade or Get a Xbox 360

I am confused.

Getting a new computer will cost around a grand (E6550 + 8800GTS)

Getting a Xbox 360 Elite and the HD-DVD will cost around $700.

In term of multimedia thingy, the Xbox can pretty much do what a PC can do plus more.

What is your opinion?

^What he said. If you are on a budget and need gaming then get the Xbox. Gaming PCs don't have a very long life cycle without upgrades.

or, you could build your own comp, may cost the same, but it'll be a ton better than getting a computer from a brand

or, you could get a PS3..

That is quite true. I am realizing that every time I upgrade my computer, I am upgrading my computer to play my old games that don't run smooth in my old computer.

Every time there is a new game comes out, I have to wait for the state-of-the-art computer to come down in price. update and then buy the use-to-be-new-but-now-an-old game from the $10 bargain bin and play it.

That just doesn't make any sense!!!
