You can easily play PC games on a TV....I'll look at the rest of the stuff later..I'm tired lol..

 

 I see this statement a lot and I'm going to call people on it.  There are still a lot of SDTVs out there and even some people who game with HD consoles are using them (as evidenced by the complaints over text in Dead Rising and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts).  That same text problem is far more widespread in PC games to the point where PC gaming on a SDTV is simply not feasible.  Bringing a computer monitor into the livingroom can be a hassle and defeats the purpose of playing easily in the livingroom and having to buy a new HDTV or large PC monitor to replace the current SDTV just adds to the cost of PC gaming.

Also I noticed there are people talking about patches for console games but there are still far more problems on average with PC games simply based on the fact that there are near limitless hardware and software combinations.  People claiming that PC games are as easy to install and use as console games are only kidding themselves.  I still have people that call me because they help to get a PC game working.  Some are simple driver updates, others require patches, some require uninstalling conflicting programs, etc.  Anyone that thinks PC gaming is as easy and hassle free as console gaming is only kidding themselves.  I have yet to get a phone call from someone because they couldn't get a Wii, 360, or PS3 game working.

 

For me to hook my PC to my HDTV, I would need a 25 foot optical cable, 25 foot HDMI, wireless mouse and keyboard, and 2 adapters that I'd have to research. I'd have to run it all under carpet. How much would that cost, and how much trouble would that be?

Yes, my desktop is a desktop. It's not portable. Hooking my PC to my TV is a hassle, and just because something has the capability to do something, doesn't make it the same. It's like saying "Nexflix 360 doesn't matter, because I can hook my PC through my PS3, through my TV(as if you couldn't just skip the PS3 alltogether)." It's a hassle, and a bother, and there are many problems that may and will crop up.

It's expensive, time consuming, and a big hassle to hook most people's PC's up to their televisions. How many people do you know who have those types of setups?

"Plug and play connectivity to TVs that conoles have, doesn't matter because I can hook my PC up to my television." Is a talking point.

 

I pity us all when shio storms in.
