So why should I keep the xbox?
Anything coming out that's xbox only?
Right now it's sat on my desk doing sweet fuck all and is on maybe once a month to check anything new on marketplace.

That said, it's really a personal preference thing. As great as X-Box live is, it's not like the PC doesn't have a rich multiplayer environment. You can use amazon unbox/hulu/nbc.com/fox.com/itunes/etc just as well as you can the video marketplace. The same goes for demos. You have more control over most games for the PC. The PC has more options for mods and dlc.
I use the 360 all the time, so I wouldn't get rid of it. You don't use the 360 much at all and play most of your games on the PC. To me it seems like your answer is simple. Get rid of your 360. Convert the 360 into cash. It's not like you can't buy one in the future if you have a massive change of heart.
ps: Watch The Guild from the independent movies section before you get rid of your 360. Ghost of Forums Past fucked around with this message on 05-17-2009 at 12:43 PM.
Many of these games just don't get PC releases, either because they aren't big enough or they just aren't a genre that PC gamers buy very much. I've been enjoying the hell out of Lost Odyssey, for example, which is old, never had a PC release, and probably never will because it's a classic JRPG.
Without a console, I'd just never get to play these games.

I second this.
Another one that will probably never see a PC release that is currently devouring my soul is Tales of Vesperia. I'm playing through it for the second time and its just as good as the first.
Ahem.
I would keep my 360, but I play a lot of the RPG's that wont ever see the PC. Aside from that, most of the games that I have do indeed have PC counterparts, like Fallout and Oblivion.

I bought Tales of Vesperia for my fiance and ill be damned if i have let her play it yet. The game draws you in!
People tell me I got near the end of the game before giving it up but it didn't feel like it; there wasn't ever any plot going on and the gameplay was only marginally better than previous incarnations.
Also: Microsoft hasn't announced anything for months. They're holding it all for E3. Make your decision after that
I filled my XB360 hard drive with TV shows from The History Channel via the Movie Marketplace...
Don't know if that feature is available in the UK though...

Ah yeah, excellent point. I'll do that. 
There's also significantly less cheating in the multiplayer in most cases. Sure, glitches are usually exploited, but good developers fix that. But you cannot use aimbots and speed hacks on a console.
That likely doesn't apply to you Mort, since you're an antisocial shut in. Skaw fucked around with this message on 05-18-2009 at 01:48 PM.

Did you seriously fucking cheat just to get 500 or 600 e-penis points? Seriously? Are you that sad of a human being? It is one thing to want to get achievements because they're fun to go after, but it is another thing altogether to cheat in 600 points worth of achievements just to up your stupid, meaningless gamerscore.

As I recall, the whole of fallout 3 in terms of gamer points was like, 800. I had played through the game once, in it's entirety as a completely good and again as a completely evil character, had finished all the quests and gotten (legitimately) all the other achievements save neutral Karma and the "expansion" achievements which, to my knowledge, were not available for the PC version.
Why do you care, again?

Posting in a thread definitely means I care, and I'm not just posting because I'm bored. I really don't give a shit what you do, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to point and laugh when you do something stupid like cheat for worthless GamerScore points.
Or like when you let me win at StarCraft because you thought I was a real girl.
The real question here is why do you care so much about a few hundred stupid points? Falaanla Marr fucked around with this message on 05-19-2009 at 01:11 PM.

I don't think anybody anywhere cares about the points, it's just that some people, with varying degrees of severity, abhor being given a list of things and not checking off every box.
Completionism, OCD, whatever you want to call it, it annoys the fuck out of me if I don't get every achievement. If I realize that I can't get every achievement without a ridiculous amount of work, I will sometimes even go so far as to quit that game entirely rather than just play the fun parts.
