You sure got a point Graykin, although nowadays, most consoles support keyboard and mouse plug-ins. To ease playing, let's say FPS games and RTS. And PC supports controllers. The thing is though, you get a better feel lying in your sofa playing games on a big screen instead in front of the computer.

Let's Face it, if you want a PC that lasts your media needs for years to come, you would easily spend about $2-3000. That would allow you to play for many a year to come. (This is assuming you build it)
New Models of Playstations and Xbox's normally get released every 4-5 years, and they aren't cross compatable, making it a bitch if you want to play timeless classics.

Cross compatable? You mean that you can't play older PS games on a newer system?
Hmm... Let's see:
I'll build a computer with my lousy experience, that ain't very much when it comes to building a computer:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit) - Cost: Free (for now)
RAM: 2GB Kingston DDR2 x 4 (8GB RAM) - Cost: 79,60 €
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 940 - Cost: 177,55 €
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 - Cost: 408,45 €
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 - Cost: 397 €
PSU: Antec Truepower Quattro 1000w ATX - Cost: 163 €
Total Price: 1225,6 € + some for mailing.
Of course you need Motherboard and box for you're computer and those cost few hundred euros more...
If you can build more powerful than this, then do so: Like I said, I ain't any pro with these things but that's what I came up with.
Also, if you buy this, in few years you'll have to put even more money to it... And that keeps going and going.
For console, you just pay it once.
But like said before, PC is more powerful than any of the consoles and has better graphics and you can do lots of other stuff with it as well.
Oh, and why there's two graphics card drivers?
NVIDIA is just because of the PhysX...
:"You can't install ATI and NVIDIA in a same computer!1!!11"
Yes you can, thanks to Windows 7.

One thing that most people forget is that when your about to upgrade the PC, you don't have to replace every component in you computer. It's much cheaper than people say it is.
RE: Your FAVORITE gaming console? - Tommy Gun - 06-09-2009
Right, P.S' aren't cross compatable anymore.
And we're also talking cooling fans, cases, o.s and what not.

If PC weren't a choice, I'd choose Dreamcast.
RE: Your FAVORITE gaming console? - Yuhaney - 06-09-2009
Yes, not anymore... Shame.

I say PC not only for pc games but, emulation as well wich covers almost half of the consoles listed in the poll.
