Better to buy a console or a PC for gaming?

I'd say the best would either be a combo.. Meaning both...
But if you only need it for gaming, you won't have to worry about reliability (let's face it. Pcs are fucking unreliable. Why is it doing that, NOONE KNOWS ! Why is my programs icons missing NOONE KNOWS ! XD damnit !) if you get a console.

Furthermore pc gaming is pretty hardcore with sitting with the keybord and the mouse (even if they do prove superior in some genres for accurate aim, yes i'm thinking fps) while with a console you can sit in the couch and chillax while gaming and not having to do all kind of crap beforehand.




oh yeah and i hate world of warcraft ! .. i do hope they make a warcraft 4 though.

1) All the problems that your PC has is your damn fault. You don't scratch your own car and say it isn't your fault, is it? PC never have problems when they're brand new, and it only starts to have problems when people install pirated software, go to the porns, etc... they don't take good care of their PC.

2) Reliability? Xbox 360 RROD, rofl

3) PC let's you play games chilling out on your sofa, it's your own decision if you want it so or not. For me, I'm currently laying down on my bed and I'll be playing the Ultimate Doom copy I got from Steam for $0.99 on my bed.

 

Oh shut up.

 

1. lol do you have any idea what you are talking about ? i know your a huge pc fanboy but i know a lot of pcs too. Ofcourse it's all about what happens on your pc but you can't control all incomming and outgoing traffic (even with attempts such as firewalls) not to mention DRM and software installing shit on your pc. Pcs are unrealiable and i know this. It's a fact. I'm not saying they will crash and burn.. but they will crash, overload and crash. Blue screen of hell ? a ddl file missing so you have to reinstall windows ? etc. Dude don't always act like pcs are flawless. Yes a lot of the problems are caused by users but not all of them, and certainly not many of the fatal ones.

2. I wanted to tell he she should get the ps3 and she wouldn't have any reliability issues but i didn't want to come off as a fanboy.

3. Yeah it's really neat to lay on a bed with mouse and keyboard. Ofcourse you can always buy a controller but that defy's the point of a pc having a superior control scheme.
