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.

Why would you waste time on cables when you could just put the PC near your TV? Maybe YOU don't want to move your PC, but many people enjoys having a PC near the TV, and this is becoming more and more common. Hurray for HDTVs!!!

 

 

 

You love to say that but I just don't believe.  I know a crapload of techy game people and have only ever known 3 people that keep a computer hooked up to their TV.

Most people just don't and just about everyone with a wife certainly won't.
