You don't need anywhere near $2000 to build a good gaming PC.
Mine's under $1000 and it plays Crysis pretty well.
And of course PCs are useful for MUCH more than a gaming console could be.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release. (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
