Yes, I too have noticed that this cycle does occur. Some of us have a definitive favourite (PC gaming for me), but go on the forums at the start of a console generation, middle and end then you'll see a definite trend of discussions towards PC gaming. Then the cycle repeats and a bunch of console players get vocal again.

OT: Fact is, PC gaming is great fun, has never been more accessible than it is now and caters to a far wider range of genres and niche titles than consoles can achieve within their limited shelf-life.

Steam sales! And watch their midweek maddness sales - they had Dead Space 1 & 2 for peanuts recently as an example and both look much better on PC, particularly 2. Also shop online carefully and you'll almost always find bargins for PC games.

I'm massively back into PC gaming myself (not that I ever left as such).

price isn't a point for me anymore. i thought like this in the past as well but then i thought "hmm gaming or not, i need a pc" and if i buy a pc and put in the extra money i would need for a console i have a good gaming pc. since 2005 i paid like 250€ just for xbox-live...console games cost more here which increases the costs as well. you say your computer isn't capable of playing high end games, but you didn't put some hundred bucks in it just for gaming. but this wouldn't be something different to a console purchase.

so i believe i didn't pay more for pc gaming than i did for my 360 or ps3.and if you only have money for one system you have to look which exclusives or other stuff you like most. but only gaming on pc isn't expensive if you need a pc.

No Trophy, no buy.

I used to be a PC gamer first and foremost but I like to have all my games in the same place. On PC it's a pain to reinstall all your games when you upgrade to a new harddrive, and it's a pain to patch old games and upgrade to proper video drivers.

Being a PC gamer since 1995 I am very tired of the hassle and constant crash to desktop.

On PS3 it's just plug and play and everything always works and never crashes. And no annoying boot up time, if I want to play Im inside the game within 15 seconds.

Plus you have Trophies. I love the universal experience thanks to Trophies. All my games tie into each other thanks to the Trophy system which gives extra meaning and context to play even mediocre games.
(Steam achievements do nothing for me because not all games are supported by it, plus no one gives me respect for Steam achievements).

I do want to be able to experience the PC gaming experience too though. For some games PC is superior (RTS and FPS) and for Elder Scrolls a PC is essential due to mods. So I will replace my PC from 2008 one day, with all these new GPUs coming out it's just hard to know exactly when to do it.

What?! I've always gone with ATi cards!

OP: Good for you, the PC truly is superior in nearly every way, shape and form as a platform. The money I save from buying multiplats and other things on consoles, I can spend on better hardware every other year or so. My current rig still kicks ass and will do so for some time yet, there's plenty of fun to be had! And sites like GOG and the endless number of ROM's and emulators make the games library absolutely incredible.

On a side not; PC gaming is cheaper than it ever was, I paid less than half for my rig last fall than the one I bought four years prior, they were both equally powerful compared to top-end hardware at their respective times.

I am betting to not ever replace my PS3 HDD. I have a 120 GB PS3 filled to about 70% with around 30 games installed. If I start to run out of HDD space I guess I will delete some game installs.

Don't get it, just watch the ending its yet another cliffhanger.

I'm playing most pc games with my Dualshock 3 controller, so I can sit back and relax.

I like playing FPS, RTS and RPG's like Dragon Age on PC. The rest I like consoles for. Actually I think Dragon Age 2 played better on consoles than one.
