The PC, definitely.

My wife bought a PS2 and an XBOX, but I just can't convince myself to play on a low-res (comparatively) monitor with no keyboard. :lol:

I think you can get keyboards for consoles now for some games.
I love Xbox, never played PS2. PC games are superior, but Im wondering how the Xbox 360 looks compared to PC.

No matter how good the graphics on the XBOX 360 are, it will still be limited by the resolution of the TV it's attached to. And even HDTV is lousy compared to a modern computer monitor.

Yeah true.. though I dont really notice it myself. I still think the xbox graphics are really good.. I must be blind, or so my friends tell me

Here's Michael Dell's opinion on the topic. :p

"It's capitalism; everybody can have their own way of doing things," shrugged Mr. Dell. "It's just, if you want to have the latest hardware, the absolute best machine, you're not going to buy a console."

Ah well.. what would he know :p
Seriously though, I like both and they both have their place. I find the console vs PC war boring.
