@loves2splooge nice name LoL
but sorry to interrupt, if you build the pc right, it'll last just as long as the consoles do(5 years). Nowadays, building a gaming pc is very cheap. Games for HD consoles are usually $60, all pc games are $50 and under(except MW2 for some reason), and since i'm talking about pc gaming i'll be talking about Steam. Every so often games drop price dramaticly. I bought Mirror's Edge, Mass Effect, Zeno Clash, Bioshock etc from around $5-$10. And C'mon, the entire Valve Collection is only $99 BIG savings! plus it doesn't have you pay $50 a year for gold membership($250 or more if it lasts longer lol) PC gets better graphics, mostly free downloadable content for the games, you can also use the xbox controller if you don't like the keyboard/mouse setup.
I can build you an amazing pc for under $600. And that's for getting stuff all fancy. I can get you an mehlookin one that can play all the new games for $350. And if you think that's a lot more than buying a console, don't forget it's more than for gaming :P great investment
