Please walk me away from the Cliff!

I am looking for advice, not a flame war....

I love my M170, but I am becoming frustrated with the process of pc gaming vs the ease of console gaming.

My next door neighbor has a XBox360 and just pops in Oblivion and starts playing in beautiful 720p w/ built in surround. I (on the other hand) had to buy a $80 audigy card just to get the surround, had to uninstall some stuff (cause I'm running out of harddrive space), had to defrag my harddrive (which took forever), and then I couldn't even run the game to my liking without some serious tweaking (that I'm still not done with). Meanwhile he's having a great time and I'm spending mine in ini. files...... (Not to mention he can play Fight Night and NCAA Football which will never come out on PC)

I love the M170 because it is portable (I travel alot) and because I can use it for other things (such as movie editing). However, its starts to get frustrating when you spend more time defraging, deleting, tweaking, editing, than you do PLAYING!!!!!

Not to mention the fact that in a few months (if not already) my M170 will be worthless since it won't be able to play DX10 games (which I'm sure a PS3 or XBox360 will.....) Meanwhile, the 360 and PS3 will only get better as developers learn how to maximize them

Finally, I can RENT games for these while I have to buy the PC versions and its hard as heck to return PC games or sell back PC games vs console games if you don't like it....

I'm thinking about just selling the thing and buying a 360 and I'll still have money left over for a decent laptop.....please tell me where I am wrong?

Hey if you're not using that 360, I'll gladly take it off your hands...

It's really not that I don't love the pc (if that were the case, I would have sold it when it had more value). Just at some point the cons(oles) are beginning to outway the pros.
