When someone says that PC games are cheaper then consoles they are referring to owning them.

It's also cheaper to own most consoles games that have been out over 6 months, because they are on ebay for about 10 dollars each. Example, MGS4 is 15 dollars used on ebay.

At the very least, the used market is much more robust on the console, due to DRM, which limited installs for many games, and made selling them used, impossible.

The used price also drops much quicker for console games, due to the large supply vs low demand of the product quickly after launch.

Contrarily, the new price of PC games starts lower.

Again, the used market is a positive of the console. The rental market is a hugh positive of the console. Those things, if you can manipulate them, allow you to play every game you want, as well as make a profit over the year of playing them, and keep your favorites in the bargin.

I bought my first HDTV off used 360 game wheeling and dealing. I got to play them all in the bargin as well.
