I have finally given up on PC gaming and have moved to console gaming. I went ahead and bit the bullet to buy myself something nice – an XBox 360. I picked up Gears of War and I would like to get a racing game, too… but for now… Gears of War will have to do.
I have to say that the 360 is an amazing machine with a HUGE power adapter. It was well worth the money. I decided against the PS3 for various reasons and also the Wii. Besides, I wanted to get something that would last awhile and I figured that MS isn’t going anywhere for a long time. So, forgive me PC gaming community… alas, I will be enjoying my gaming experience without having to worry about downloading the latest patch and making sure my drivers are up to date.

When a console costs about the same as a good video card, it’s almost a no-brainer. Does the 360 use an abstraction layer that’s like DX10?

Unfortunately it uses DX 9 and due to hardware issues it cannot be upgraded to 10, but according to ATi it should be able to replicate DX 10 features, but it can’t be formally called DX 10.
