No Trophy, no buy.

I used to be a PC gamer first and foremost but I like to have all my games in the same place. On PC it's a pain to reinstall all your games when you upgrade to a new harddrive, and it's a pain to patch old games and upgrade to proper video drivers.

Being a PC gamer since 1995 I am very tired of the hassle and constant crash to desktop.

On PS3 it's just plug and play and everything always works and never crashes. And no annoying boot up time, if I want to play Im inside the game within 15 seconds.

Plus you have Trophies. I love the universal experience thanks to Trophies. All my games tie into each other thanks to the Trophy system which gives extra meaning and context to play even mediocre games.
(Steam achievements do nothing for me because not all games are supported by it, plus no one gives me respect for Steam achievements).

I do want to be able to experience the PC gaming experience too though. For some games PC is superior (RTS and FPS) and for Elder Scrolls a PC is essential due to mods. So I will replace my PC from 2008 one day, with all these new GPUs coming out it's just hard to know exactly when to do it.

Many games on steam have Achievments now. I know you said you dont like them, but they are their if you want "points."

Steam Keeps all of your games in the same spot. It also lets you back up all games to a hard drive or disc which can be used to reinstall all games and updates with out re downloading.

I haven't had a game crash my pc in years. In fact I haven't had any crashes since i switched to windows 7.

 

A pc from 2008 should be able to play many games, and almost every console game that is on pc also supports the xbox controller. (I call my pc my 360 2.0 because its just like playing on my 360 except a little better graphics.
