PC all the way for me, i just cant get the hang of the controllers of them consoles.

I they all had mouse and keyboard than still the pc.

You just can do more stuff with it and games in general look better.

Anyway thats me opinion...

I defintely game on both.

You just don't get those Japanese RPGs on PCs like you do on the PS2. Or Jade Empire for the XBox. I'm planning on picking up a GameCube, too, so I can get into those style games as well.

I play mostly PC games now (currently UT2004, Mafia, various DOS games via D-Fend, and NFS: Most Wanted), but there are many console games from my childhood (Final Fantasy III [sNES], Bionic Commando [NES], and TMNT4 [sNES] are just some examples) that I still play with my equally aging friends of mine.

So I voted Both because both PC games and console games bring something different to the table that satisfies me.

I like PC gaming more, for FPS' there's nothing like a mouse and keyboard. I've owned a 64, PSone and PS2 but all sold them within a couple of months of owning them. I just love it how on the PC you can customize it so much, mods, addon packs, hi res addons (like that HL2 mod) etc... etc...

Plus, it's more fun building your own system anyway and much more rewarding for all those hard earned dollars!

I play mainly First Person Shooters..so PC for me it is.

However I find console games to be more fun and arcade-like (especially if you're with some mates)...while I prefer a PC for some serious, hardcore, competitive gaming.

PC, FPS would not be the same without a mouse. PC hardware also progresses a lot more frequently. Consoles are great for having a fun arcade game with a few mates though and they are certainly the cheap option.

:devil: PC :devil:

1. Unlike consoles, the PC platform and PC games won't go obsolete in the foreseeable future.

2. A PC can do everything a console can, plus a lot more.

3. PC games have the ability to look better than their console versions.

4. Many PC games can be modded.

5. Mouse and keyboard is the superior control mechanism in many cases...

6. ...and you CAN also use a gamepad with your PC. I'm using an Xbox gamepad with a USB-adapter. Works great.

7. Building and modding a PC can be a fun hobby.

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.

Don't want a flamming war but I like PC - Region Free and games are easy to patch. Although a console can sometimes be more fun but I'll stick with my PC :)

I prefer consoles, because they are faster than computers. With computers you have to worry about viruses, and processor speeds, and overheating, overclocking, etc.. with a console, plug it in, and play.

However, PC do have there advantage, you can play more games on PCs than any other console.

Pc I think

Because it?s more expensive to buy a new console than upgrade your pc

And for firstpersonshoter there?s nothing better than a mouse with my erased w,a,s:p :p
