Man... I thought console gaming was better than PC gaming because it didn't have expensive hardware upgrade requirements....

.. You mean a TV?

I am fairly sure TVs are hardware. Did they become software without me noticing?

So you are complaining about buying TV's costing money?

TV's are quite a different situation from PC gaming parts.

No it's really not. At this day and age you need a PC more than a TV. You need a CPU, you need RAM, and while you don't need a VG it is required for many things other than video games, including watching movies. So no, not different at all. It's something required for gaming, and for the price of an "upgrade" I can build a brand spanking new PC, more powerful than any console.

Don't PC's need monitors?

CRT monitors are still considered better than the flast screens, believe it or not. I believe those have existed for a long long time. Also You can get a 22" 16:10 monitor for $120 if you know where to look.

I game on my xbox using an HD monitor/tv. The arguement fails.

Both a console and a pc need a display, simple as that. And it's not like you have to upgrade those every 4 or 5 years. I think you proved that with your mention of CRT monitors?

Like I said, it's a different situation regarding PC parts.

No PC game will ever force you to upgrade you display. None. You upgrade it whenever you want as long as it works. Games do however force an upgrade to other hardware. Consoles now apparently force upgrades to an HDTV, not just when your SDTV is broken. It's a very valid argument.
