"Also, when the next generation of consoles comes out, you will need to upgrade in order to play the games for it. I will still be able to play the latest PC games at reduced quality. It's like if they released Halo 3 for the x-box with lower quality graphics. So IMO, Consoles on release and after there major price drops are the best deal, but PC's are a better choice when in mid cycle." Well, I mean that all depends on the games..... Anyway, I actually like that part of PC gaming, BUT, it still doesn't excuse the fact that upgrading still costs more than a console. It all depends on what your tastes are in games, the future of pc gaming, and of course, when and how you want to play games. |
PC is cheaper than HD Console gaming, no matter when you buy the PC. Here:
PC:
Built Gaming PC = $700
GPU + Ram Upgrade = $200
Game every month (5yrs) = $3000
= $3900
(Also, many PC games are actually released at $40 and $30 price point)
(Also, PC games drop price much faster than Console games)
Xbox 360:
Xbox 360 = $350
Xbox Live (5yrs) = $250
Game every month (5yrs) = $3600
= $4200
PS3:
PS3 = $400
Game every month (5yrs) = $3600
= $4000
That's for a 5 years cycle. And I'm not even discounting the fact that PC games drop price much faster, or else it could've cost only $3000 for a '5 year PC gaming cycle'.
