Create your own player match and play how you want? it's not always about ranked games IMO, relax a little, play for fun, you are deciding to use matchmaking, it is not imposed on you.
I think I am a console convert...

You're talking utter garbage.
Firstly there is lots of banter on Xbox360, expecially as almost all the consoles come with headsets which are widely used. Secondly, you talk of online banter through a SEPERATE program to the game (Ventrilo) where you have to connect to a specific chat server to talk to people, however, if you're talking to people in the game through this seperate program then you would already know all the people in the chat server already (likely through clan play) so comparing random people per game to a pre-defined seperate chat server with people you already know are two totally different things.
Rubbish, I know plenty of people who are quick on console racers, as they are on rFactor and GTR.
Firstly, where is the function that turns off match-making in Call of Duty 4 that will continue on with ranking? I know you can create private play but I would like to continue so I can get a level 55. And in terms of not using the service enough.. it takes 10 minutes to get a level 53 no?
And as for being 'uninformed' or doing not a 'good-job' of it, what are you trying to say, its either hard for people to use the system or is that to be portrayed as a personal attack? ****

Name some.
PC gaming has much more of a competitive circuit, loads of big tournaments and cash prizes. Hence a lot of top players or "high skilled" players play the games. In terms of skill id say pc gaming requires more, for example in FPS games on the pc they won’t have auto aim but on console games they will. Most recent console games dont have full blown auto aim but they have some sort of tracking to help the player due to the fact the joy pad isn’t as responsive as a mouse and keyboard. In that respect yes pc gaming is more skillful.
Im a console and PC gamer myself and on the whole pc gaming is much more skillful but if you just want something to pick up and play consoles are great.
Played GOW last night... pretty cool! I know I could have got it for PC, but this was always THE game to get a 360 for originally, so just went for it.
It looks better than I thought it would. I set the 360 to run 720p, rather than 1080p as noticed some slow-down, but 720p looks brill, so not complaining. Is there a difference performance-wise between 1080i and 1080p? I imagine not, but thought would ask.
I am struggling with the aiming on the rigth analogue stick... why did they never introduce a tackball of some sort on the controllers? I think that would solve all aiming problems...
Am loving the game though. Got told off for having it too loud

A trackball? As in like the Mice you can get from Microsoft? That would be awful! Analogue stick is perfect imo.
Protip: Most PC games have built in voice chat, CoD4 included.
Ventrilo is just better for clan matches and organization through channels and so on.
Not really, Xbox Live is still reliant on the Live servers where as PC gaming is unaffected, if one master server goes down then that's one game you can't play, not every game.
PC online gaming on the whole is just a better experience, the only downside is the lack of microphones in general, but keyboard chat works well anyway and is a laugh, microphones are becoming more and more common I find.
Xbox Live has never been as good since the original Ghost Recon anyway tbfh, no games since then (bar Rainbow Six 3 and Halo 2) have been anywhere near as gripping.
