| yoscrafty said: The whole argument of "you could make a PC for cheaper and better" is flawed as it doesn't factor every component needed for it to be ready to use. Also, the hassle of researching and building isn't worth the savings you could make (which is practically non-existant). |
This is why I, as someone who has played on both PC AND console for years and works in IT, always thought that argument was stupid as hell.
It's only truly "cheaper" if you have everything else you need but the actual PC build itself. And if it's someone like the OP, who mainly used a laptop first, the odds that they'll have stuff like a monitor, a copy of Windows, a keyboard and mouse, and so on just lying around is slim at best. And to begin with, I don't believe in "console equivalent" builds anyway, since they aren't as future proof. If you end up having to upgrade core components again soon anyway, how much have you really saved overall?
Really, though, trying to belittle people for not picking a side is stupid anyway. Just buy what you want and fuck the rest. It's videogames.
