Generally a PC comes with Windows, Office, a monitor and peripherals all included. Generally, I like to use my PC at my desk, because its easier to work that way. Generally, I like to use game consoles at the TV, so I can play with friends or lounge on the couch. And generally, I like to leave game consoles hooked up to the TV, and not lug them back and forth between rooms. A lawnmower with a jet engine is fast, but its neither the best way to mow a lawn nor the best way to drive to work.

What the hell do you need a lawnmower for? Just take a PS3, add some wheels to it, an engine, and some blades and your got your self a BluRay player that mows lawns. Much cheaper. Don't forget to install linux first.


 Then you can mown your neigbour's lawn, and he'll pay you with micro-transactions!

Ok I just wanna say this about the new eyetoyHD.

The usefulness on it, is the ability to video chat in game lobbies while waiting for the game to start, among other assorted uses. 


The folly of videoconferencing with people you don't know will be readily apparent the first time you realize you're staring someone right in the brown-eye.

I've known people who learned the hard way why it's such a bad idea to do this.


"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks
