Then the point is moot, because consoles can't play starcraft, civ 4, company of heroes, spore, WOW. Also you can't rent a pc to play pc games but you can easily rent a console and play what the 3 PS3 games you actually want to play at the moment? My biggest miskake was owning a PS3 this gen. Console exclusives multiplats are better on the xbox anyway.

Ok, most people on this site I don't bring this point up, because they are console gamers, but you are a PC gamer.

I am a PC gamer as well, and I can't see how any PC gamer can call any console a "mistake". My video card cost as much as a PS3 alone. Not to mention the $1,500 30" dell display I have. My video card now is considered old and almost worthless by todays standards, yet my PS3 is still as valuable as the day I bought it (ok, maybe $100 less), and will be for another 3-4 years. The games I can play on it will continue to get better. 

If your a console gamer, you can debate the value of one console over another, but if you are a PC gamer, any console is an incredible deal. Many a PC gamer spent over a grand to play one game, and by the time the next game worth spending a grand on came out, there rigs were out dated.

Please don't talk to me about the economics of gaming, and say using a PC to do it is somehow a better deal.
