PC or Xbox 360
Hi guys, I'm be straight forward, I like PC ways better than Xbox 360 when it comes to FPS; not gonna go into details, but now i got a problems...
My old computer aren't able to feed CoD4 at lowest setting(seriously)  , I'm not even considering upgrading it, but consider buy or build a budget one...and it will cost more than buying a Xbox 360 and it takes too much effort  I know I'm lazy...
So I was thinking of getting a Xbox 360...or should I?
I know the Xbox gonna be so much easier to play with...
But is it hard to Aim with a joystick? I'll choose the mouse over joystick any days when it comes to shooting games, I never really play much FPS games on console except CoD2 on my PS2...Well thats pretty much its  ... I want to know your opinions... Thx 
PS. Do I need the HDMI cable for the Xbox 360? Like what it is?

I've only started playing PC games about a week ago, But I'm already enjoying Counterstrike and Day of Defeat more than CoD4. I can aim better with a mouse but I move around better with joysticks.

If you are used to using a keybaord and mouse its going to be a huge pain in the arse using the controller, its as if you have the worlds largest gun in your hand its so clumsy.

I came from a history of PC gaming and using a mouse for FPS games. I've spent countless amounts of money and time getting a gaming PC totally sweat. PCs will always have better games graphically as these system can be constantly upgraded to accomodate the latest technology where consoles are fixed.
Originally I felt that using a joystick for FPS was a bad choice and I could dominate any joystick player but what I've found is once I adapted consoles create a more realistic playing environment slowing the pace a bit. Having played console FPSs for the past year and a half I now don't enjoy playing games on my PC.
From a health standpoint I found that prolonged playing PC games using a mouse caused wrist problems for me. Playing 20 straight hours using a joystick does not give me any problems.

go with the 360 dude.
1.) easier to play games on (won't have to worry about system reqs anymore)
2.) you'll get the hang of the controller, it's not as bad as it sounds
3.) cheaper - PC's will always be outdated starting the day you upgrade them.. tech is constantly changing
a more accurate question maybe at this point though isn't PC vs 360, but 360 vs PS3... the ps3 is evolving in its worth as well.

In your case you used to PC and like PC and you said yourself you dont really like 360. Then stick to PC.

You can get an adapter to allow you to use a keyboard and mouse on the xbox anyway i think...
