Funny thing is, I'm seeing PC's increasingly in the living room. Perhaps the lousy multimedia functions of HD consoles and their relative lack of quality software really won't prevent the PC from gaining a more prominent role in the average living room. You also have to remember that PC components are becoming quite affordable, I'm looking to spend about $500 on my next PC and with a 9800, 4 gigs of DDR2 RAM, and a dual core 64-bit CPU @ 2.3 GHz I should be able to run Crysis on high settings. I guess in a couple years I could buy another 9800 for $100 or less and extend the PC's lifespan to a good 5-6 years. HD consoles can't kill PC gaming.
