PC gaming is definatley more expensive that consoles(Proof inside)

Well you can oblviously game with any PC but to get it on a level that the PS3 and 360 are at and for it's price, NO. I will post computer specs and their prices and it will run Oblivion at Recommended specs:

Oblivion Recommended System Requirements:

3 ghz Pentuim 4 or equivelent processor

1 gig RAM

ATI x800 Series, Geforce 6800 Series or above

8X DVD ROM Drive, 5 Gig free space, And finally Windows XP

Processor:100$

RAM:70$ for 1 gig

Video Card: 230$, and yea I could have used the 6800 which was also recommended but I didnt cause wow, that is what you call expensive.

DVD Drive-40$

Case-40$

Hard Drive:40 gig:50$

O wow I forgot the motherboard:150$, not SLI

And all the other stuff needed to run a computer:120$

Windows XP: 100$

Also note: I am not including the monitor because everyone also needs a TV to play their consoles.

Total comes out to 900 dollars!!!!!!! And also take note, this is a pretty crappy system besides the processor, RAM and Video Card because I picked out the cheapest things I could find which might mean the least quality.

Xbox 360: 400$

PS3: 600$

If you beg to differ show us your rig, please post it and I will justify the price of its parts compared to the 360 and PS3. And finally, PC gaming is sweet, I love it but the fact tha people think it is as cheap is just retarted.

When you get a gaming PC you're getting alot more than just a system specifically for games, you're getting a PC that does everything that a PC does on top of play incredible games. Bottom line, PC's do alot more than consoles. This is something that is overlooked by most console fanboys. PC games have and will always be superior in amount of titles and amount of quality titles available, not to mention controls. KB/mouse > All. There are certain genres that a KB/mouse isn't best for (racing and sports titles mainly) but you can buy a cheap controller for your PC if need be. Either way, PC gaming is more expensive but you get alot higher quality of titles (at least based on the past games) and the best online platform there is. You get what you pay for. ;)

And, to be honest, it's not that much more expensive.

The only people who need proof of this are retarded people, people who don't pay for their PCs, or geeks who painstakingly smuggle counterfeit PC parts through the Vietnamese black market at third world prices. For anyone else simply looking at the spec listing on games over the course of a fews years is proof enough.AfterShafter

Which seems to be everyone on these forums when they make a PC argument.  They always quote ridiculously low prices, either claim they "have connections" or some weird online site that I would never in a million years trust with my credit info.

Newegg is about the only one I would trust, they do have good prices but I hate that I have to order all my parts online, compared to just walk in to the store and pick up a console.

Everyone has a PC with Windows. If u want to play games on it all u need is to upgrade ur Motherboard, Processor, Videocard and Memorythen3rd

Yeah all you need to do is completely gut your PC, no big deal.  :lol:

With the PC you have endless titles to choose from past years. Warcraft 3, WC3 Frozen Throne, Diablo, Diablo 2, Battlefield Series, FEAR, Oblivion, Starcraft and it's expansion, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2, Half Life series, CS:Source, Day of Defeat, Call of Duty, KOTOR, etc. The list goes on.

There's nothing wrong with buying a controller to play a sport game here and there. I don't play sports games on my PC since i play other games on it and i actually, well, play actual sports constantly, but some people do play PC sports games. If you're going to say that buying a controller for a certain genre on PC isn't right then you might as well say that buying a racing wheel for Gran Turismo or Forza isn't right. And, sure, PC's can get expensive. If you get a good one (probably cost you around $1000) then it will last you at least 3-4 years before you need to upgrade for certain games. For me, a few hundred every 4 years isn't really that much. That's just me though.

I did say PC gaming is a bit more expensive though to begin with. I agreed with you there because it's simply fact. It's also fact that you get alot more in a PC than in a console though.

Na man that from the the cooling, power supply, speakers etc. 

Yea I am sorry about the X800 it was 230 at Compusa for some reason it doesnt let me edit the post, but it is still more expensive but also i agree with the opinion that PCs offer more than a console, I would declare it a fact if I could.washere12
