$130 will match or beat any console in terms of graphical fidelity.

Also, can your console play a game from a decade ago? Other than the few available downloadable titles, it's limited.

Yes, I have thousands of PS1 and PS2 games to choose from. That's all the way back to 1995. And a library of over 9,500 games.

You talked about "tweaking your PC to get them to work". I just put the game in, and play it. Aside from games that take special controllers (like DDR or Guitar Hero), all of them just work. No tweaking needed.

Also, I can buy all the old great ones from my local GameStop for 7-12 dollars used. You have to go to ebay to get your used games for the PC I am guessing. Also, I can rent all the latest games from my local video store for 5 bucks a week. There is no place local that rents PC games.

The overall cost of games is cheeper IMO for consoles.

 The PS3 is somewhat limited with its backwards compatibility just like the PC, only I can tweak my PC to get them to work, if something's wrong with some PS2 game, you can't do jack.

And that's only the PS3, the 360 and Wii only go back one generation and the 360 is severely limited with that.
