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'.

Let me fix this for ya :)
