I used to be a PC fanboi, but now i ama PC/PS3 fanboi, but i still prefer to play games on my PC, because it is better hardware wise and functionality wise than my PS3... I am even getting anew PC which will be even better hardware wise in 2 days
Naw, you can build a decent gaming rig for less than AU$1k. Been there, done that. Hell, I built my gaming/3D modelling/art rig for AU$950 and if I wasn't so picky about certain components I could have shaved another AU$100 or so off the price.RadiusXd said:

Well sonny. You see with a PC (or Personal Computer) you can do all sorts of nifty things. You can play cards, you can do the surfing of the world wide web, you can talk to some friends through a program called Instant Messaging (you and them talk in real time, with no delay!), and friend other people on a website called "Myspace". You also get to use fancy lingo (LOL!).
Oh...wait. You're talking about playing games. Uhm lets see, well, most of it is just person preference. Every single reason on here that states "PC is better than consoles because..." are opinions. All of them are opinions based on the person's experience.
I prefer consoles for most of my games, just because I don't have the money to upgrade my pc to the point where I can play games at the same level as I would on a console. Plus, I really don't like the dedicated server system most games (or at least as far as I know) use for their multiplayer. I much prefer to be thrown into a lobby with a bunch of other weirdos, that i mute, and play my game in peace.
You can constantly make your PC better, and you can use it for many other things as well.Cole Sauer said:
I play computer alot, but nowhere near as much as console.
I grew up with consoles, so I am a little biased, but I still like playing MW2 or Metroid Prime on a TV than a computer.
These days, you can play xbox games on a computer with a controller, so the difference is not that big.
The only benefit for PC's I can see, is modding, constant upgrading, and multi-purpose-ness.
I'd rather upgrade my PC than wait for another version of a console to come out.
Mods, more buttons, controller optional rather than required, internets, you already *have* one, component upgrades rather than having to buy a completely new system every so often, a general sense of self-satisfied superiority, don't need a tv to use it, it apparently makes console people get all pissy and defensive, there are a lot of pluses.
Okay, I agree with you with that the "upgrading every year" isn't necessary, but even I'm curious as to what you've got running in that 5 year-old thing that lets you play new games on ultra settings.Ultratwinkie said:
Not too be rude, but in the future your arguement might be taken better if you write it in an understandable way.
Unless you've experienced some of the greatest moments of PC gaming.. you will never know or understand.
It cannot be explained.
And that is YOUR loss.

well, i guess did kinda go high range, but still that was 1600. true that for less then 1000 i could've gotten a computer that exceeds the current consoles in terms of power. but then running games at full settings with screen capture on wouldn't be so easy now would it?RhombusHatesYou said:
This, plus more buttons. Also, personal preference and ease of use for people who're use to PC already and not use to console.Risingblade said:
Also, RTS fans have little choice.
Most people need a PC, the extra cost to make it a gaming PC is less than that of buying a console too. Games are cheaper.
Can get DRM free copies (pirate copies) of games that have stupid DRM (not supporting piracy, it's abhorrent, but it's a reason to have a PC).
Comfort, sitting on the couch is comfortable for some people, I prefer a comfy computer/office chair as I've a shitty back and terrible posture, and most of them are corrective.
Modifying, both games and the PC it's self. It's really fun to have a unique gaming system, even if it's just a stencil airbrushed on your case, but PC's are generally easier to mod than consoles. I don't like to mod my games but some people do.
And to reiterate, steam sales.
EDIT: Also, social gaming, not facebook games, social gaming, like playing with mates, it's easier for me (and many people) to play games on PC because you can hop on xfire, teamspeak, mumble, vent or whatever and chat to your mates and play games, even different games to each other.
I live on the opposite side of the country to almost all of my friends and only about 5 of them have xbox's and 2 of them have a PS3, my ps3 was stolen and it's online is shit. Almost all of my friends have a PC though.
Also, D&D over skype.
Not much, PC has potential for better graphics though at a higher cost, personally i prefer a keyboard and mouse, I feel its more precise (though you can also plug a controller into a computer). You have more freedom of key binding. Though you do need way more hard drive space for a computer.
I don't know its your choice, I like computer more.
I'm not saying consoles are bad though, they are really good for parties and such and have a lower cost then computers.
