it's not actually that expensive. the games are cheaper, the online is free and a good graphics card can last you more than a few years consoles are just amateur/casual versions of the pc this gen. the pc is much better if you know what you're doing

I'd buy a gaming Pc for sure. I would still be a primarily console/handheld gamer though.

I don't have a lot of money and I'm a PC gamer.

Seriously I'm pretty damn poor - student, no job etc. I just know where to look for cheap games and I only upgrade my rig when it's absolutely necessary.

Other than Diablo 3, there's not another pc exclusive that makes me want to go back to pc gaming over consoles..and there hasn't been one for a few years that interests me. I don't see myself going back ..ever.

get rid of your console and pc and just build a new one. it really isn't much harder than slotting a few cables in and it would benefit your work/study as well as you'd be able to run newer stuff pc gamers tend to be quite friendly and helpful, far more than console gamers imo so i'm sure they'd be happy to help you out there's a new range of sub 100 dollar cards coming out too with good performance

PC gaming is the only viable option for real gamers. All the consoles can only be side game systems at best, well besides Wii, that thing doesn't even play games.

No way. It still wouldn't be worth the extra money just for better graphics. Also, some of the greatest console games are not on PC.

Considering the X360 and PS3 already are basically "budget PCs" with a lot of features cut, not including the fact that more and more consoles are trying to imitate the PC in all ways, the consolites are practically "partial" PC gamers already :D They just don't know it yet or can't accept the fact. hehe

And the majority of the greatest PC games will never make their way onto consoles. What's your point? You're a fool if you think that all PC gaming brings is better graphics. Let's not forget that it has something that consoles will never be able to achieve while still being able to call them consoles; a magical word called "Options".

Yet the PC is still leading in quality exclusives year by year...and by many indications, are actually increasing in revenue, despite rampant piracy. Says alot of PC's versatility and vitality. If the PC is a shell, consoles are fossilised bones 30 feet underground. :D

I dont like how most multiplat games are poorly ported. the controls are only better for rts and fps. But the Pc used to have soo many more games now it feels like everything is the same genre. There hasnt been a good Pc game in a while. Maybe im not playing the right games on it i still need to pick up cs:s, tf 2, dawn of war 2 (maybe) and some others. But Pc gaming not what i remembered it to be 10 years ago.

i enjoy pc gaming more than console. Believe it or not, pc is better online and offline.. Pc games has no limit. You can play with custom mods, stuff that console will never be able to achieve. It has better controls (you can hook up a 360 controller if you dont like the mouse and keyboard but i prefer mouse and keyboard). It has better graphics, And better exclusive games imo.

Its funny that you mention PC lacks variety when the only games that are receiving ultra mega hype in the consoles' scene are shooty/linear action types the likes COD, GeOW, KZ2 MAG etc and what else have you?

Based on GS reviews and scores, PC is still leading in quality exclusives AND variety so your opinion that "there hasn't been a good PC game" is entirely subjective and when compared to the objective statistics and data that we have, run completely counter to your point.
