Depends on what games you like
IMHO it breaks down thus:
Driving Games - Consoles with the bias to the PS3 (GT5 etc)
FPS - PC everytime
Online Games - Xbox 360
Mind you, for fun, the Wii beats the lot.

What ^^^^ said but with driving games, GT5 will be out in about 10 years time but Forza 2 is out in about 6 weeks IIRC so I would go with the 360

Hmmm, genral purpose machine for £500 or games console only for £300........
I know which way I would (did) go.

PS3
can't stand games on my PC sometimes. when my sister used to use my home machine it would totally bogged down with Sims. has anyone noticed that no hard drive is big enough for Sims?
360 all day long.
that's not a biassed opinion by the way, I've got a Wii, PS3, 360 and various PC's, so rest assured my view is not clouded.
The reason I say 360, well for starters, I've found 1 game for the PS3 that's worth playing, and after <12 hours I'm bored rigid of it. In a nutshell, there's next to fack all good games available for it. Obviously this will change and they're on the way yadda yadda, but seriously it's going to be at least 6 months before there's a decent selection of top end games available.
The 360 is cheaper, already has loads of great games out for it, has a much better online environment IMO, and there's a hell of a lot more people on xbox live. Xbox is totally painless to setup, especially for online use, where a fair few had a bit of a chew on getting them online.
Plus you've also got media centre functionality should you choose to use it, I do and love it.
Don't get me wrong, love my PS3, just a bit underwhelmed at this stage thanks to a dissapointing games lineup, it's like being given a lamborghini with no keys.
As for PC, great for FPS or RPG's, but they cost more, and always need upgrading as games get better.

absolute doddle mate.
You've got 2 options for getting it online, wired or wireless.
Assuming you already have a wireless router or the like, it's just a case of either running a cable (supplied) from your 360 to the router, or sticking the wireless adapter in.
For the wired, the 360 does it all for you, and for the wireless all you need to do is bosh the network SSID and key in as you would connecting a computer to it. It really is childsplay, quite literally as my sister's kids (10 and under) managed it themselves

Nothing worse than playing online.
No matter how good you think you might be at a particular game you will get owned in about 10 seconds by some random 12 year old who will proceed to take the piss and call you a noob!

So true
Though I love taking out the highest rank folks with a desert eagle on rainbow six vegas when they're using big guns. Always good for a reaction.
