I'm really not sure if you've done this just to make a long thread or because you're grossly misinformed and ignorant of PC gaming. I play on both consoles and PC. Firstly, a good gaming PC will not set you back $1000 unless you like getting ripped off or you want a PC to last you 1.5 console generations minimum. Secondly, your comment about the controls suggests you either seriously lack the basic dexterity, or more likely, you just need to get used to a superior control method :P.

Advantages of PC gaming:

- User created content... mods, mods and more mods (a lot are actually better than official DLC)
- Better controls for FPS, RTS, MMO, RPGs, Point & Click adventures.
- Huge backcatalogue of games (Age of Empires, Half-Life 1, Quake, Baldurs gate, Planescape Torment, Fallout 1&2, Command and Conquer, Diablo I & II)
- If you've spent money on a half-decent PC then more detailed graphics then the console (for multiplats, let alone exclusives)
- Higher Resolutions
- PC exclusives (e.g. Starcraft 2, Crysis 1, Counterstrike: Source, Neverwinter Nights 1 & 2)
- Cheaper games
- Amazing Indie game scene with games like Darwinia and Uplink
- Steam, lots of good deals for getting games


I pretty much agree with what Scoobies listed there. I have not found a decent RTS on a console yet. The only problem I have with Scoobies list is no Diablo II as exclusive. Diablo II is still one of the most played games out there due to the shear number of mods made for the game.  

Lol, I knew I was forgetting something important! I just couldn't put my finger on it. Fixed.
