XBox 360 or Not?
I'm a bit stuck.
My PC is great. I have only had it for about 14 months. Core 2 Duo, PCI Express. Great.
Thing is I got a kick in the balls when I discovered the Via chipset is incompatable with PCI-Express 2.0 graphics cards. I like RPG's and although I find myself playing less games latley I'm looking forward to Fallout 3. Fallout 2 was amazing. Thing is, an upgrade would need a new mobo and OS even before I get to buying a graphics card. Annoying since my PC is very capable for my needs. It runs Crysis half decent.
My problem now is I really want to play GTA IV. I have a 17" monitor so that rules out a PS3.
But as I have looked online about XBox 360 I have seen the overheating issue. I can't get over the poor cooling. the tiny heatsink on the GPU that is directly below the DVD drive. Some people claiming that it heats up the discs and warps them.
Argos has a Premium XBox 360 with Halo and GTA IV for £200.
I guess you guy's would know how bad the XBox 360 is hardware wise.
What do you reckon? Should I buy an XBox 360 or would it be more wiser to save my money and upgrade my PC at a much later date?
Oh yeah, Is GTA IV alone worth buying an XBox 360?
