Pc gamers don't get it

Consoles are a better solution for most people because the fit into existing home entertainment setups. A PS3 provides in a neat package a blueray player, a games console. a media hub and social networking functionality. Where can I get a PC for the same price that does all this in such a slick package?

My laptop does all that (it even has an honest-to-god HD-DVD ROM :lol: ), and unlike the PS3, it's portable. :)

I'm not a PC gamer and I think this reason is weak. My weak as heck PC that can't even play new games destroys the PS3 as a media center, the only thing it doesn't have is blu ray and since I rarely rent / buy movies, I see no loss. If it is that important to you for your media center to look super slick then find a way to incorporate it, not the PC's fault, its yours.

It's always seemed to me that PC gamers know exactly where they stand - PC offers a better experience at the sacrifice of convenience. PC gamers have always seemed, to me, content with this trade-off.mattbbpl

Both are perfectly valid choices, but which is better depends entirely upon your preferences.

i'm a consolite, and there are so many things wrong with the TCs post, i don't even know where to begin.

It's called a mATX form pc. It's just a little bigger than a console, and will still run the best pc games. Also I have one of the larger sized mid-towers and it still fits into my home setup with my 360, PS3, HD PVR and 5.1 system. So this thread = failed lol

I disapprove... FPS and RTS are way better on PC IMO... But, when it's time to play action games (GTA series etc.) or racing games, it's true that there's nothing better than a good old controller..alber

I put a PC together last night for $350 (not including a monitor) that can outperform PS3 90% of the time :| Consoles are good for one reason and that is exclusives.

nope pc's are better everyones on the forums with a pc so why wouldnt it be easier to just click one of these icons on my desktop and start playing a game?

The PC is better for FPS, Western RPGs and Strategy games, Consoles are good for everything else.jeffdoomsday

Technically the PC is better for everything as you can just hook up a 360 controller... Only thing PC doesn't get is console exclusives... but it gets many amazing exclusives itself

Its called micro ATX case. You should look it up and see how small they. Ive seen a lot of people sue these when they go LANing. There tiny. Killfox

lol true... but I hate split screen now. I have to game online, I mean I hate sharing my screen G*D DA**IT

You probably could. Even if the price of the PC was slightly over it would still provide more functionality though.

Beating a dead horse is fun.

it's obvious this guy doesn't know half the stuff a goodPC can do over consoles.

I know, right? Trolling can't possibly be so hard that people fail this badly at it so often.

PC does everything consoles do better, they have better media capabilities, better online, better social networking functionality. And you can get a PC with all of that for around $500 or even less.crazy-player

There's GT5, which pretty much kills every racing sim. But if you want to talk about flight sims then yea, PCs are obviously better.

And "adventure games" is a broad topic, pretty much every game has an adventure.
