absolutely PC...my fingers not made for these console-controllers nowadays. It's sometimes like a workout for your fingers, managing to keep up with the picture on your TV....

Keep making PC games...not only cats love mice...my hand does 2! :blink:

For the past year I have been dedicated to my PC. But recently I started playing on my PS2 again. Well, with a PS1 game: Final Fantasy VII :rolleyes:

But since I'm a big fan of GTA I have to get San Andreas (not until next week, cause german dealers have difficulties importing the UK Version). With this I'm pretty much getting into my PS2 again. I'm also planning on buying a Gamecube.

I've always been a multi platform person and I think I always will be.

Only owned a console once, that was a Sega Saturn that I sold after 2 weeks as I couldn't be bothered to spend (extortionate amounts of) money on games. I find consoles a complete rip off as most the games I find to be too simple or just about instant action (which makes me bored after about 10 mins, and for ?40/game) and I hate controllers on anything but sports sims. The argument some of my friends use (need a DVD player) is also rubbish IMO as after seeing DVDs on both PS2 and XBox I can safely say they are very poor compared to even a moderatly good DVD player. The only games I like on console are also available on PC (although I am looking forward to GTA:SA), normally with much better graphics and sound as well as my preferred control method.

Like many have said, I don't like the way that you use controls for fps in consoles, so I don't use them. Period.

Secondly, instead of buying one console, one pc, another console, etc....why not just buy one good PC that will do any job satisfactorily (including work, business apps, music, movies, games)?

I own both, always have, but untill recently (like the last couple of months) I have never had the money to spend on a PC to upgrade it to the current gaming requirements. Then I realised; the 2-300 I had spent on each new console (the day I bought it aone [with games]) I could have spent on a PC. So I did. My PC is now at high enough spec to play anything, although it has a way to go, (see here) such as watercooling, a new sound system and more RAM, the list is endless...

Now I would definatly count myself as a PC Gamer, with high hopes...

Hell yes it is, we are planning a LAN party this weekend! That should be the daddy; it will be small, but so much fun. All in one room, 48 hours of gaming and as much snack food/music/movies as we can squeeze in and all as loud as we can muster!

    • Yes for me, I installed 'old calculator' (Windows 7 calculator) in its place since it is more useful to me. I think paint is the only one I left installed
    • eh I'll wait for the June 2026 MVS ISO downloads which should be coming out next Tuesday June 16 and possibly contain build 8655 instead of 8653

    • Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 PC case is now 33% off on Amazon by Ivan Jenic The Cooler Master MasterFrame 600 is currently $109.99 on Amazon, down from its original $164.99 list price. That's 33% off and $55 saved on this premium aluminum mid-tower case with a modular design. If you're upgrading your PC case and want something that doesn't force you into a rigid layout, the MasterFrame 600 is worth a look. The case is built around the Cooler Master's FreeForm 2.0 platform, which lets you reconfigure the internal structure according to your hardware. Magnetic side panels allow for straightforward adjustments, and the case supports everything from Mini-ITX to E-ATX motherboards without compromise. There's also generous cooling headroom. Four pre-installed PWM fans handle airflow out of the box. GPU clearance goes up to 410mm, and the case supports radiators up to 420mm with room for three simultaneously. Truth be told, this might not be the prettiest case on the market, but it’s highly functional. The aluminum construction keeps the whole thing lightweight despite its size, and the finish looks noticeably better than the plastic mid-towers competing at this price point. If you want a serious, flexible case that prioritizes function over flashy aesthetics like RGB lighting, the MasterFrame 600 delivers at a reasonable price.
