PC. Cuz it's easier to hack/mod/expand etc. If it's out on PC, I'd rather get it on PC.

But if it's not, then XBox. And PS2 for the games you can't get on XBox. Oh, and a Nintendo Gamecube for games you can't get on PS2 :)

Xbox because 90% of the games I want to play are on Xbox. PC games for Strategy games (Civilization Age of Empires Age of Mythology). I thought about getting a PS because of the Anima type games (I love Manga and Anima) but for a few games I can’t see it. I thought about getting a Nintendo GameCube and a Gameboy for Pac-Man, but can’t see spending that much for one game. I am getting my Girls a GameCube for there birthdays (they are only few weeks apart well really 1 year and 338 days). With Xbox360 I may be even more of a Xbox person.

Strangely enough, all I have time for is my Nintendo DS these days. It takes the edge off long college classes in a pinch.

That and I'm obsessed with the offerings from Intelligent Systems. Easily one of the best first-party developing houses ever conceived.

I own all the systems from the console wars of yesteryear, too. Now they just sit there.

Anyone want a working NES? :D

PC. The best, most involved and huge games on PC will always be better then the best console games.

Better graphics, faster, more options..etc.

However, I play PS2 mainly when I do go for console action.

My answer is the same as Lupo's. I spend so damn much time in front of my PC because I work at home and also spend a lot of time is SL, I like to get away from it for other gaming... but since I love strategy games I use the PC for those. Can't wait for Civ4 and AOE3.

The last Xbox game I finished was Chronicles of Riddick (quite possibly my favorite FPS of all time). Now I'm almost done with Halo2. I'm too cheap to sign up for Xbox Live.

PC. Always upgradable, flexible, and crap you bought back in 1996 still works on a new PC.

10 years ago, I was standing in Best Buy trying to decide between the Sega Saturn and the less expensive Sony Playstation. I actually picked up the Playstation, and almost went to the register. Then I just stopped. Put the Playstation down and walked away. Later that week, I bought a SB16 sound card and speakers. Upgraded the old Packard Bell, and ended all console gaming for good.

I play some PC games but I really don't like PC games. I am a console gamer. I can sit in a bean bag and play Xbox or PS2 12 hours straight with just bathroom breaks. On the PC games just seem weird and cumbersome and I tire easy. I'm rather have a controller, a massive screen and friends in the room with me. Yeah you can have LAN parties, but umm, no, I have to draw the line somewhere.
