| Mudface said: Gawd, not again... Reuse your OS license, along with your mouse, keyboard/ controller. XP and Vista come with a built-in firewall and Avira/ AVG are free. Buying ten games at $20-25 less than the console versions will easily save the difference between $400 and $199, plus I've yet to see a console that can run Office, Photoshop, Visual Studio etc etc For many people, me included, who need a PC for work and can just spend $150 on a decent graphics card to make it into a gaming PC, console gaming is simply too expensive, too rigid and too limiting. |
Everyone does not have a mouse or a keyboard, not to mention a control pad. They don't get that stuff with the "400$" computer, do they? Usually those licenses are bound to your hardware and it is illegal to use it on another computer. Even if you can use the old OS, it still did not come free.
25$ cheaper games? Where? Those games would be almost free. I usually buy my console games for that 20-30$.
