[QUOTE="XenoReseller"][QUOTE="smerlus"] Amazon.com has a 4GB 360 for less than $200.a 26" Vizio for $300 and gamefly is $15.95 a month to rent out a game at a time. The only bull**** here is your post.smerlusIf you're going to settle with that, well, should you really be gaming? My thoughts on a 26" TV and a 360 to bat....Still gonna need a computer for your homework or whatever anyways. The argument is about price. I think if you're concerned about price you're not worried about 120 GB systems, 62" 3d TV with a bose surround sound system and buying CE's of games. Indeed it is, but even when you spend $500 for the console and tv, and I'll lower it to $300 for an abysmal netbook. Then I'll just downgrade to a 4 star computer and still match your price and maintain better graphics and more functionality. There are things I'm not allowed to mention about games that PCs can do.
[QUOTE="mattuk69"][QUOTE="smerlus"]Consoles are cheaper even more so in the US. Buy a $300 console, a $200 TV and then spend $15 a month renting a crap load of games is cheaper than just buying a $1000 PC that you used as an example.smerlusI dont live in the US to know that's bull****.

I agree, that is a stupid argument. But I believe most people already own a computer (for other purposes), so isn't PC gaming very cheap then? I don't have a TV. :/
True, I agree with you. However I was addressing those who specifically say it's cheaper to console game. I however, find that it's much cheaper to spend your time to learn a computer, which will benefit you in many areas, than spending extra money on all the requirements of a console. ------ Smerlus, what about your computer to watch youtube and do your homework?Accesibility is the main reason why most people dont get into PC gaming. Not cost. And ingorance of course, but I think it's included in accesibility. PC gaming is simply, not for everyone. Some people won't bother to spend time and learn. Others are just...awful around computers. For example, I have this friend who bought a gaming PC 2 years ago. Now this dude has won several loca cs 1.6 and css tourneys, and together with him and some other guys we've won plenty of local DotA tourneys. Hes an excellent player, especially in cs, he could propably go pro if he wanted. Yet, up to 6 monhts ago, he used to call me on the phone every time he wanted to change his desktop background. It took him 2 hours to figure out how to import his ME save files into ME2. His typing speed is...absymal. But his reflexes and game sense are supremme. He just cant understand how to use the damn computer. He even had trouble just installing games at first. Some people just wont sit down and learn how to use one, and are better off with consoles.
