For those who have time to invest in their PC's, and those who have the money, then more power to you.

Depending on the site i'm working on i sometimes take my console(s) to work with me.

Sure, a decent PC can run most games, but the constant upgrading and all that nonsense would just get on my tits to be honest. (i work 12 hour shifts, throw in 3 hours travel there and back and i'm left with 9 hours for myself before sleep, food ect)

My laptop now stays strictly at home, whenever i start taking them with me on my travels they conk out after 12-18 months.

I'm pleased for those of you who like you're PC gaming, but it will just never be my cup of tea.


Oh, I understand.  I like owning both a gaming PC and a console though.  Allows me to play all the games I want.  There are PC exclusives I want, and there are console exclusives I want.  I play multiplatform games on the PC due to the higher framerates giving me more smooth gameplay, and less loading screens.   I'm not that old, but so far I've lived through 2 console generations of cartridges and 2 generations of disc.  I wish there weren't so many issues with cartridges though, Id love to have a flash media based console where games load at the drop of a dime.  I didn't play the PS1 until sometime in the mid 2000s, but I didn't miss much from my proespective.  I guess you could call me a big Nintendo fan, having grown up on the SNES, N64, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gamecube.  Heck, Nintendo hid the gamecubes loading screens really well so I didn't notice them all that much.  I've always loved Nintendo games, so a PC+Nintendo Console is my ultimate combonation...  kind of rambled, sorry.   Though with your time restraints no point in investing money in something bulky and hard to travel with.
