You CAN'T get a PC for the same price. Consoles launch for $300-$400 usually. Computers can launch for $2500, and that's not even cutting edge. Even reasonably priced computers go for about $1000. Consoles typically reach the end of their lifespan at around $90.
i got my computer for around $600 which is in the guessed price range for the xbox 360 and it works really well for most games. i will agree with you that most people who buy computers for games however will generally spend well over $1000 on it.


i really would rather play on a keyboard and mouse the a controller. i mean you have quick keys for everything. and it just feels eiser to me. but thats my opinion. i also like the ability to mod and download like new maps and whatnot. but again thats just me.
