well basicly i like the mixture there some game you can get on your playstation that you cant pc/linux like metal gear solid or tenchu..... but unfotunetly you have to buy console games and they cost alot.Pc games are cheap and there is more quality in graphics and technologie moves faster. :cool:

I like PC games for FPS games and a few RTS games.. but I've found myself leaning toward console games now because PC games are less social, which someone pointed out, and having friends over to play vs talking to them through Ventrilo or TeamSpeak sucks.

Yeah exactly. When you play on Live it's a lot more fun because you can communicate with people through the same client all the time. Plus friends lists are a real nice bonus :p

I would have to say both but take a more liking to a pc because of the option to mode almost every feature of it and just make it the most uber computer ever. howeva a consol has both pros and cons but still they have some awsome games that pc dosent have... :/

Since a few years ago I have been a devote PC gamer.

But I'm already tired of having to upgrade my hardware, or having problems with hardware for some games, so I'm buying a console in this upcoming months (X360) and to tell you the truth... I have never been this excited.

No Doubt PC!

Better graphics and more choice of games. Games cost a fortune on the Xbox360 and the PS3. Like ?40-?50 each! Multiplayer games are so much more fun on the PC.

Ive been playing all me PS2 games in my PC for a year now and just happy

How is that possible beniza?

Definately console, xbox 360 to be precise;

upsides:

+ just hanging on the couch while playing games rules

+ not expensive (compared to high-end pc's)

+ no need to upgrade every month to play the newest games

+ plug and play

+ racers and footies have to be played with a controller imo

+ LAN-parties with consoles are a lot cooler than PC-LAN's imo, because you are actually sitting right next to your partner and in splitscreen can better co-operate or punch him on the shoulder when he messes up :laugh:

+ Certain exclusives that never (or a lot later) reach pc (gears of war, project gotham racing, forza motorsport to name a few)

Downsides;

- after they have reached the consoles limits, you wish you had a powerfull pc.

- online multiplayer will cost you extra money

- no mods

- games for consoles are getting more and more expensive

- extra hardware is quite expensive (x360 controller for almost 50 euro's! a simple vga cable costs around 20 euro's \O/)

Well, I only have a PC, and it's an old pc so i can't game a lot even if I want to. But I'm building a new rig, a high-end system. I was going to get a console and hook it up to the same LCD monitor of the PC... but I really don't know if it's really worth getting a console. Basically I really love rracing games, unfortunately not too many good once nowadays. I also love Americas Army on the PC. Don't know much about games. Still undecided :/

Nothing beats the PC. The gaming system in my opinion must be versatile. consoles are built for playing games alone. The PC on the other hand is a jack of all trades. Its the only exception cos its the master of all trades as well. I doubt you can say that for anything else. And consoles definitely don't fit that criteria.

Infact, to be honest, i don't know why they had to even come up with the idea of consoles.

PC's rock, consoles sock !!!!!11

I used to be into consoles... but computers, IMO, are superior as far as controls go. I also enjoy the aspect of multi-tasking. Consoles is to "tunnel vision" for me. That being said, I can not wait to get into Twilight Princess and Gears of War.

:D

So my vote is PC, as mentioned, the upgrade-ability factor.

    • 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.
