Yeah, and PC gaming is the best and for everyone!

Seriously, if you don't have at least 2 years experience building rigs, plus a full-time job, then don't even bother with PC-HD gaming.

I have all of those things, but I just don't have the time, patience, or luck to put that much effort into it.

I let Squilliam find me a prebuilt 400$ PC that I added a card on, and it runs HD games well enough for me to realize I'd rather be playing them on a console.

That said, 800 dollars is a cheap gaming rig, according to most entheusiasts....and people argue that PC gaming pwns all.

You know what PC gaming is exactly like? The NeoGeo.

Actually PC gaming can be more affordable (or about the same, depending on which console) than console gaming. Consider that most people need a PC at home anyway, so they can just buy one with slightly higher specs in order to play most games released for a few years.

Consider as well that PC games are cheaper than PS3/360 console games.
