Should i get into pc gaming or...

How much money do you think I might spend after 3 years of pc gaming?Because I did a bit of math and so far iv spent $1385 on things like games,xbox live,controllers,headsets and 2 Xboxs(first one broke) all in the past 3 years.Superrkilla

go with pc man.

if you build your own pc which isn't hard. Even the people on the hardware forums will help pick parts for you and there is even a sticky at the top of the forum that is a great guide to put it all together. you can also find tons of videos on youtube about it also. This way you can more bang for your buck

$600 would get you nice rig, but if you can increase that maybe to 800-9 you most likely max out any future games for coming years if you care...

yes pc games are cheaper. downside is you can't resell them unlike console games but, in my opinion the ammount you can save cancels that out.

just off bat new release tittles is pretty much always $10 cheaper.

Then holiday sales blow the living crap out of any sales on console games you ever find.

So yes depending how much gaming you do, you can come out on top.

You'll probably end up spending $150-200 per year for 3 yrs. Not because they cost so much, but them sales are just too tempting. You won't only get 3-5 games per year; at the end of that 3 years, you'll have a backlog of like 200+ games.

You see right now you only buy 3-5 games per year because they're expensive... on PC they're so cheap you can play 3x the amount of games cheaper than that console price.

I got Spec Ops The Line for 2.49 at the same time it was $40-45 on consoles.

And that's just one deal in a sea of games I've purchased.

Personally I think I would save up some more $$ and buy a pretty decent pc. When I say "buy a pc" I mean buy the parts and build it yourself.

I have a 360 and PS3 and they do not compare to pc on any level. Nothing worng with consoles but in the end the best experiance is on PC...hands down.

Considering Max Payne 3 for 9.99 after $5 discount on Amazon....

Yes! Go with pc gaming and try out the steam market.

Then again you will also need to upgrade you pc in the next couple of years.

I don't buy into the whole console vs. PC war, because as a gamer I like both! I will say that you will save a lot of money on PC games and you'll have a much better experience with them. Obviously computers are easier to maneuver than consoles, so messaging your friends and voice-chatting is a lot easier, not to mention the Steam sales where you can get 25 great games for under 150$ (less than the price of three brand new console games).

On PC, you can find a lot of free to play stuff these days. I am currently into plance racing. I started with Skydrift and now I found free to play (although beta) Altitude0. Everyday playing a bit to improve my times.

Buying a good computer will take an investment, that's for sure. But it's totally worth it if you like playing games.

PC gaming as an entry point is always more expensive, and it's always going to be the one prone to the most problems. However yeah, games are very cheap buying online, digitally or at sales time, you can do what you want - hook it up to your TV or whatever, and you'll have a good PC for all those PC things to boot. However. Are there any games that interest you at all on the PC, enough to invest that money and time?skrat_01

But then there's also the good part of stuff like that like being able to play KOTOR 2 as it's meant to be played or mods for games such as the elder scrolls.
