First of all, I just noticed the new forum and I have to say I love it. Much improvement over the old one, everything is more clear to myself now.
Now to the reason I am posting this. Being a computer gamer since the early 80s, and buying my first computer a bit later in 1986 (Atari ST), I never really cared about dedicated game consoles. Had various Atari, Commodore Amiga + computers and buying my first PC in 1994 I never considered jumping ship. Till oh, now. I am sick of Windows, with all my heart I can't stand it any more. I am sick of problems, driver issues, conflicts even the occasional incompatibility and the constant "upgrade" of the copy protection schemes that if they continue like this they will ask me for my condom's size before letting me play or install a game. I am sick of having to upgrade the PC if I want to play games that look good and not having to lower (where applicable) the graphic settings, anyway you see where I am going with this.
Now, I do not have some old PC or anything, in fact it is passing the Vista "test" with flying colours etc and I am playing all new games at 1280x1024 (monitor max res) with all details on full without complains. Still, I am sick of the whole thing. So, I am considering, very very seriously, to get a console (95% Xbox360) for all my gaming needs and when the time comes (in a couple of years), buy an Apple computer for my work etc (video editing plus a few other things).
Problem with the above I see mainly from one side, my favourite games are turn based strategy games, followed by RTS, FPS, etc
I would like any comments, suggestions on the above, thanks.
