I'm simply against the 360because it's a PC in a black box and my PC's are already higher spec than it. Almost all Xbox titles will be available on the PC at some point. I'm an RPG / strategy gamer and the PC will always do that better.
The PS3 looks tempting but I know it would be a waste. I bought my PS2 when they were still quite expensive, never used it after the first few weeks and gave it away after a year.

and?i've had a PS2 since it's release, i still buy games for it
it's hosted some of my life's greatest gaming moments
i wont be giving it away to anyone for some time :)
and yes, the xbox is a PC in a box
a box that doesn't have to be "upgraded" every 6 months (my original is still played and it's 5 years old
could you imagine playing PC games on a 5 year old PC?)
a box that doesn't force me to "check my system requirements" everytime i purchase a game
a box that hosts "finished" games that are without the need of patches and fixes after release
a box that's dedicated to running games, not office software and tinternets :)
i love PC games, it's just such a shitty market
that rewards it'sa followers by releasing stuff they can no longer play
without spending another £400 on the latest Graphics card
i only use my PC for RTS games, it's the only area it has the advantage
i hate MMORPGs, they just look poo, especially the fighting
give me a proper one player RPG any day

Oh I don't disagreeit's just a situation that suits me personally. I'd upgrade my machine regardless of being a gamer. I'm just like that. I'm a bit of geek with graphics cards and will always buy new when something substantially new arrives in the ATI portfolio.
I suppose it will all change in a couple of years when my boy is old enough to want to have a console.
Edit:// I'm with you on the RPG thing, I'm playing Neverwinter nights 2 and Oblivion shivering Isles right now. The idea of MMO does not apeal to me. Having said that I pop into WoW every now and again for a bit of light fun. Even then I'm a loner there.
