Computer Or 360?, What will you get it for? Options

what r u getting it for?

[Marxist ßastard]

That's not to mention IQ for price.

Without buying a $US2000 HDTV, the highest resolution you'll be able to use with a console is 684x486 (disregarding NTSC/PAL differences) -- and that's with a lot of video options hardwired in. A liberal guess would be that Oblivion on X-Box 360 would mean 2xAA and no AF.

Compare that with a $US200 CRT, which can run at 1792x1344, has loads of color correction options and a relative size that can't be beat, and when paired with a card that has a decent amount of video memory, can put astounding amounts of AA and AF onto the image. Let's also not forget that PC also automatically means more settings -- I truly pity the X-Box users who have had to play Morrowind with linear lighting for the past four years.

Hmm, actually I've never thought about that, I almost always look up a tweak site for every game I install before I play so it is kind of natural to me, guess it's another good reason to get the PC-version.

The only good think I can think of a console (besides being slightly cheaper than an equal computer) is that you can play in a more layd-back manner, sitting in the livingroom sofa and relaxed have a couple of hours of calm and fun adventuring. However that is technincally possible with a computer aswell although not really nescessary. I guess it's hard to be "laydback" when you get attacked by several deadric monsters or decomposing zombies in a scary ruin anyway.
