It's unfortunate and sad that the man died...but am I the only one who's wondering what level his characters got to?

Consider this jurasic1024. You are correct you can upgrade the hardware on a PC to make it better suited for current gameplay. But your logic is flawed in that you cannot upgrade the games, so if a game looks better on a console now it will always look better on a console. And sound is always better when you can move the speakers away from both the source and the person, you just get a better amiance that way, provided you have a decent enough system. Just turn up the volume. You're just upset the game looks better on the 360 instead of the PC. That's 360 1 and PC...well there's a lot.
