I've been into PC and console gaming for almost 16 years,

I have a very high spec PC (quad core, 4gb ram, 8600GT etc) which plays the latest games on high settings but I still left PC gaming late last year and went with console gaming instead,

Not had one regret and am so glad I ditched pc gaming! consoles are for gaming, pc's aren't (imo), there is a reason the pc gaming market is declining year after year while the console market is breaking records every year!

Go figure.....

wow, what hole did you crawl from? PC is probably the fastest growing gaming platform! Just go take a look at the superior 2009 lineup of PC.
