The more and more I like PC gaming. I've got a pretty good rig that was based on an Alien Ware build two years back. Main purpose was to do video editing with it. But I nabbed Steam and have slowly fallen in love. I stick with my 360 because of some of the friends I've made there and I really like some of the exclusives. I'm tired of getting nickled and dimed though. I went through at least 20 xbox 360s due to the Red ring of Death. It may have been more but I stopped counting after that. Well ventilated areas, and changed locations, so it wasn't that, I promise.
Anyhoo, if I can get the keyboard and mouse thing under better control, I'll be feeling better. Can pull slightly positive in Bad Company 2 when I play consistently. Been doing pretty good in L4D2, but that's a different beast. Look forward to gaming with yall!

20 360s? I thought I had it bad at three.
There are so many things to enjoy about PC gaming. In my view, many games are crippled experiences on other platforms.

Yup. I shit you not.
I've had a 250 gig hard drive all this time, and now it's going. Eventually I'll get a replacement to transfer my files, but it'll be before the kinect-enabled ones.

Well Sai, one thing you still don't get too much of on a console is RTS and if you are wanting to try some of the best PC has to offer, have a go at SC2. If you are competitive the multilayer can be rewarding - though it does take some effort to get get the most out of it.

I hope that was 20 of the $50 refurbished ones.

Apparently MS is going to be bringing cloud saves to the 360 in the fall.

Yup. All under warranty. I've actually gone through three since launch. Sold one about to break, but I wasn't a total piece of shit and warned the guy.
Still, it hurts. And now my warranty has expired. Like I said though, think it's the HDD.
@ GBSOD I have SC2. Like it too, but competitive is too much for me. Love L4D2 and some BC2 though. Trying to get better in BC2. Need a group of peeps to play with. Figure I'll hook up with some of yall eventually.

Disclamer: Consoles are swell!
Some of the most fun I've had was playing 2v2 and Free for all in SC2 recently.
