Rumor: Windows 8 to allow Xbox 360 games to be played on PC

for 750 thats an awesome solution. Since I need a new computer, because my 5 year old pc is starting to die, i might as well just wait for windows 8 now.
Thats a huge boost for Windows 8 and renders the xbox 360 useless ... atleast for core gamers.

This is idiotic. You rather pay $250+ for an OS to play games that you're not even sure your computer can run?

Actually, I need a new computer. So buying a new gaming PC + OS that can run those games is a good solution.

Wasting about $750+ just to justify not buying a new console is a good solution?

To each his own.

$750+ allows him to get a PC that can run PC games as well as 360 games. Sounds good to me.

You'll prolly be able to purchase two next-gen consoles with that money...

Doesn't seem worth it to me.

A gaming PC by itself is worth $750, how is it not worth it?

I rather purchase a PS4 and a Xbox (720?) than a gaming PC.

To each his own I guess, you would easily make your money back via Steam deals though.

I agree with Sonji, I would prefer getting a PS4 and a xbox than a PC.

No PC vs Console debates...

But I wouldn't mind playing Xbox 360 games on Windows just another reason not to touch my Xbox XD

the master race just gets better and better.

Doutbful, what Microsoft is clearly doing (as I can say) is turning Games for Windows-Live into Xbox Live, they will consider to sell PC games on their marketplace and use the Xbox Live name to gain more games. Overall it's becoming a better competitor to Steam than GFWL was (as the haters say).

I don't think the new Xbox will come out until 4 years from now. So this is just stupid. If it's confirmed.
