5 reasons why Consoles are better than PC gaming... Link inside...

LINK

While I still feel the cost of PC can't be judged on gaming alone, there is no doubt that consoles on a whole are cheaper. Sure you could build a cheap rig for the cost of PS3. But it wouldn't be very future proof, and there is a good chance it would struggle depending on graphical settings. You can snatch up a console, a couple of games and controllers for the cost of a decent PC. Not having to worry about upgrading your hardware down the road for new games also drops the cost in comparison to a console. Lower cost of entry means more people are likely to adopt it.

All in all there is a lot to be said about console gaming. PCs and consoles both have pros and cons making it easy to see why we have fans of one and not the other. With consoles trying to be more PC-like as of late it seems someday we may see some sort of hybrid of the two.

Its why I like consoles.

Its so easy to use, even putting music and video files is a breeze, plus you can play games splitscreen which is so much more fun than online.

wahrawk is brilliant online splitscreen. :)

I like how nobody ever mentions the cost of a decent TV but always assumes you HAVE to build an awesome PC. You realize including the price of a good TV, a PC would cost you less?Skittles_McGee

While we are stating the obvious in this thread:

HAY GUYS DONT STARE INTO THE SUN IT HURTS YOUR EYES

How can you relax on a PC after working on it for 8-9+ hours a day!?

No, I'd rather relax on a comfy sofa, not using a mouse to play my games on a big TV.

Yeah you can, but it's not ideal. You are making compromises - great in theory. Why loose all that res on your expensive gaming PC and be forced to use a gamepad to play against PC gamers with mice.

Great in theory but flawed.

One needs a quad crossfire 4870x2sto match the uber 576p rez of ps3...and 600p rez of xbox360...

Basically:

Consoles are cheaper and easier to use and set up.

PCs are expensive and require more comitment, but are overall more rewarding.

It's about the same, it's just prefrence really. I wish people would stop claiming how superior PCs are though, because it is such a vague term. My Nintendo Wii is about the same specs as my PC (:lol:) that must mean the Xbox 360 is superior to the PC. You should be using the terms, low end, mid spec or high end systems, otherwise it means nothing.

You know you could rip apart a 360 and use it as a case if you were commited enough and had small enough parts? You can use pretty much use anything to house a PC if you know how. You could make a teddy bear shaped PC if you wanted to.

Also, why not just build it in the living room if you're going to use it there? :? Or just buy a PC that is designed to sit on it's side like with a media PC.

I'd rather relax on my comfy sofa and having the option of either a wireless KB+M or controller with superior graphics and hardware, but that's just me.

There is no way i am going to put a cheap, toyish looking console in my living room. this pc though would fit very well and can bring many compliments from guests.

But then again most TVs are also used for more than gaming applications SemiMaster

PCs are used for alot more than just gaming. What are you posting from right now?
