yah I know pc's r more expensive. ppl dont add the parts together pc wise in cost evaluation because pure pc ppl dont consoles the same way im a mix. I like pc's I want a good pc, its taht for a top of the line new pc is 1,540 $(includes monitor) to build right now and I dont have that kind of money. so I feel that the consoles and my crap pc will tide me for now. but console is a simple, cheaper way to go than a pc bottom line. u just get better features on the pc and are able to other things than gaming, such as work (thats right I said it, work.)
