i agree whole heartedly with this.  i enjoyed PC gaming when it worked but PCs are just a hassel to keep up and running.  viruses, drivers, all sorts of other crap.  i swear back when i played WoW i spent as much time fixing my computer as I did actually playing games.

gratz to all those willing to put in the work but i just want to play games and my consoles do just that with ease.

Although I love PC games, I hate PCs.

Great post, totally agree.

Wait what? It is very cheap to make a PC that is as good as a console and for about $400 you can get a PC that is more powerful than either PLUS it does EVERYTHING. Movies, online, web, design, programming, gaming, etc. etc. etc. I am also fairly sure that even if you do not peruse the deals on PC games that are ALL over the place (There was an SCII deal where you could get the game fro $45 not $60 just a day ago, and that game hasn't even released yet). You will basically pay off the difference in 20 games or so. I believe I got 23 games for $50 once, which included Bioshock, BS2, Civ 4 complete, XCOM, and some other greeat games. After doing some math, I think I saved closed to $200 on it. That's right, $200. If you had bought the Square Enix pack when it was on sale 3 weeks ago you woudl have saved $450. Let that sink in. You could have saved enough money to buy a whole brand new console if you had gotten that deal. By the time I decide to spend an order of a magnitude more than a console on my PC again it will have been fully paid off.

Also, when was the last time you booted up your PS3 or 360? I distinctly remember installing games, patching games, installing systmes updates and maintaining the console. I also distinctly remember RRODs, and YLODs happening. At least when I build my own system I won't design it for liquid cooling and then decide to pull out because of expenses later (like MS did with the 360) or decide to use some piece of shit thermal paste so that my CPU breaks (a la the PS3).

Also, the fact you said "you spend that time switching discs" completely invalidates your opinoin on anything. I don't think I have had to "switch discs" when playing on a PC since 2003 for UT2003. So maybe all your "experience" in this field is severely lacking because you seem to be way out of touch with how things stand with the PC.

you should probably stay away from emails that say "FREE SEX XXX CLICK GIRLS GIRLS!!!" i dont know what the hell people are doing with their PCs but i havent had a virus in years. and i dont even use a Antivirus program.

if anything it offer even more Ease of use and jump in and play because you dont have to constantly switch dvds cds or whatever to play a different game.

I haven't had a vrius since exactly 2004. That wasn't even a virus but some spyware thing that would cause constant popups. It also wasn't even on my PC but the working PC.

Viruses aren't a PC problem, they are an idiot user problem.

Good call dude, just flippantly disregard the issues brought up.  This is the kind of talk that makes people call people like you PC elitists instead of just PC fans.  If you could express your love of PC without sounding like such an annoying pain in the ass maybe people would actually listen to what you have to say instead of tuning you out like the whining of an unwanted mother in law.

So your argument is that you don't have enough PCs?! You're making no sense.

What if you had 3 PCs and only 1 TV? What would happen if your wife wanted to watch TV but you were busy playing console games? Your argument is idiotic.

The truth is, You can play PC anywhere Consoles can. More and more people are placing their PCs in their living room, and this trend is only getting bigger.
