Fine. I will leave it at that.

I was just saying this based on my experiences in GameSpot's System Wars forums.

That place is a hell-hole with console VS console and PC vs console war threads everyday.

What can I say? Video game forums are full of stupidity and butthurt. It's best not to take anything too seriously.

In August 2010 I built a middle range gaming PC (basically a AMD ATHLON 4x 2.9Ghz with a ATI 5750 1Gb ddr5).

What the %#?! were you thinking? I hate to think of what CPU you had before, if an Athlon counted as an upgrade.

I've always considered myself a JRPG fan, concept that got stronger as Tales of Symphonia (1 and 2), Tales of the Abyss and Persona 4 have been some of my most cherished experiences these last years and, as a "pro console - pro Japan" kind of gamer, I might have looked down on western RPGs and PC games in general, I've got to admit that.

If you liked Persona and want to game on the PC, you should look into playing visual novels like Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime. There's a lot more to PC gaming than shootan space marines and stabban orcs.

I am still pretty interested in quite a few games released this year for Wii and PS3 (Last Story, Xenogears, L.A. Noire, new Final Fantasy game if released, Uncharted 3) and I am really thrilled about Project Cafe rumors, but neither of those things keep me from feeling I might be slowly turning into one of those PC fanboys, specially as I just scratched the surface of all the great games out there.

The PC has more games than all the other platforms put together, so you have indeed only scratched the surface. You'd also be surprised by how many console games get PC ports that aren't really talked about.

You should definitely think about making the PC your primary gaming platform. No more fanboy wars, no more buying both consoles because of the exclusives and no more control freak corporations telling you what you can and can't do with the things you pay for (besides uploading them to TPB; don't do that, because piracy's bad m'kay?)

And contrary to what a lot of uninformed people believe, PC gaming is much cheaper than buying consoles.

The last part about fights is false. I always have to listen about how AMD/ATI are somehow better than Intel or nVidia.

Also you forgot to mention that when the online for a game goes down, you are fine to play any other game, unlike what is happening to PSN right now, and what can happen to LIVE.
