i still suggest to build a console-ish PC since you wanted to spend money on games
if you want orig games or legit games
i still have the first gen xbox 360 with me and yeah , its all worth it to use if you have those XBOX LIVE GOLD card which cost me $60 a year and after that your 360 is useless you cant watch streaming , you cant play with your friends
to be honest i avail it just to play exclusive games like HALO and Forza I did try to play COD BF3 on 360 but due to the fact that if you extend the use of your 360 you will suffer the crazy Red Ring of Death it is equivalent to BSOD or Blue Screen of Death in PC
I live in the USA and yes! i have those freakin Fan for the back
for summer to prevent my 360 to over heat or to suffer Red Ring of Death
the only good thing about having console is , you can avail pre-used games for 360 if you have gamestop near you or i dont know if there is a store in the Philippines where gamers can trade their old games for cash
unlike in PC we have both hard copy and digital copy via Steam and Origin plus Humble bundle which is cool
