So I think it's probably time for a computer upgrade. Right now, I can't run Mass Effect 2 - although it's debatable whether it's on account of my processor not meeting the system requirements or it's some crazy game bug (there's an epic thread over on the bioboards where people are trying to sort that shit out). Still, if it were problems with just one game, I'd say to hell with it, but I've been noticing recently that my computer really does need some upgrades anyway, at least some more memory as well as a faster processor and motherboard.
But I'm wondering if it's time to just give up on PC gaming and buy an xbox.
On one hand, I've always played games on the computer. I like playing games on the computer. The one console I did buy (which admittedly was a long time ago), sat around gathering dust and I think I played like four games on it. I don't know that we'd actually play enough games to justify buying an xbox. On top of that, our television is a piece of crap, which is actually fine by me because I canceled cable on account that I really don't watch TV. The very few shows I do actually watch, I just torrent for free or are offered for free on the internet.
On the other hand, if I did buy a new TV and xbox, we could all play together and we'd have something better to watch DVDs on (although we don't do that much either). There's also the greater variety of games that would be available.
So tell me my nerdy gaming friends, should I just suck it up and pony up the extra cash to buy a TV and xbox?
