To argue Shio's point, not that its convinced me to change my mind, you can build a micro atx system with a sweet case for pretty cheap - Check this bad boy out - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811144143

Its a little bigger than a GameCube, comes in different colors, but I know that XB fans prefer the green/black combos =)

Shio - to answer the question, its the input method. If I sit on my couch even with a wireless kb&m, its still kinda awkward. A big issue for me is the vanishing support for traditional joysticks in PC games. I was really disappointed with id's decision to not allow for joystick configuration for Quake 4. As said earlier, I use a gamecube usb adapter so I can rig the left side of my GC controller, and a mouse in the right hand. Its as close to a HD Wii experience as one can get. While Im sure there are ways to make this wireless, the issue is that the games themselves are starting to do away with control mapping, at least some of the big ones. For example, if RE5 doesn't allow for control mapping, then Im stuck with their input method, which can make for a lousy experience. With a console, I can have my controller and be a lazy blob on the couch.

BTW, couch potato gamer challenge for all - Take any game you beat, then replay it, sitting upside down on the couch.
