Who owns consoles, even though they have a PC?

I own three last Gen consoles, (I only bought the PS2, the other two were hand-me-downs), I have a decent PC ,(Plays most most recent games on Medium settings), thinking of getting a X360. I like to have variety with my gaming options, because to be honest I can't stick with FPS & RTS & WRPGs all the time, I need a change, sometimes I feel like playing a JRPG, taking turns & whatnot & playing games that will never see the light of day on the PC (legally anyways), playing with local freinds (seeing as how they hate PC gaming, mainly because of the memorization all the keys, has them going crazy). It's also nice to have a "backup" when your PC starts giving you random errors, like for example I can't play the original Half-life on this computer (never could) because when I pick up the HEV suit it crashes & gives me "Sound Error Volume 403" (Plays fine on my old Windows 98 computer though) .

That "Sound Error Volume 403" is something that I was getting when I tried installing and playing my Half-Life game...I believe it has something to do with the fact that you might have you sound turned up too high in the options in the game. Or you need to download the latest driver for your sound card...

I know that the solution to fixing the problem was actually very simple and something I would have never thought about doing. I do believe you need to just adjust down your volume settings in the game.

I used to be a PC only knda guy. Then I bought my PS3 and now I must admit, I have not spent nearly as much time on the PC as I used to. But for games like CoD4, it will be PC all the way. Consoles just cannot replace the experience you get from using a good gaming rig for an FPS.

I also have a Wii, but that is basically my $250 Bowling Machine.

ehh, i got a PS2, i might buy a PS3 if they ever come down in price, and id buy it mostly as a blueray player... cause answer me this? why the hell would i spend 60 bucks on a game that doesnt look as good, run as good, more akward to play (controller), and i can have it cheaper on the PC 40-50 ducketts?

IMO the only thinga console is good for is football and racing games w/ friends. and i think racing is still better on PC, doubt it? go pick up GTR2 for 20-30 bucks, maybe the best racing game in every aspect!? what im trying to say is consoles are just slowly going to morph into pc's, there already so close, just un-upgradeable pc's w/ less options. i just dont have the mula as of right now to buy a nextgen console and a kickbutt tv w/ connections to play games that still wont look as good as my PC.

PC, 360, Wii, Gamecube, N64, Virtual Boy, Super Nes, Nes, Genesis, Dreamcast, PS 1, PS 2, Intellevision, Gameboy, DS, Neo Geo Aes (yes i own a Neo Geo), PSP, Commodore 64, Gameboy Color. I'm not rich by any means just a fan of gaming. I mostly play PC for StarCraft nowadays, 360 for sports or halo with family. Guitar Hero on ps2. No time anymore for all my japanese rpgs or crazy adventure games.

I own every console ever made except for Xbox and the "current" Nintendo and Sony systems. I have every other system just for "blockbuster" titles and I only buy them when they're $10 or $20. I'll never buy an Xbox because I'm a PC gamer. Xbox and PC are mutually exclusive to those who care deeply about PC gaming.

I own PC and PS2.Baron_14

me too, and soon a 360 then wii, or first a wii then the 360, we'll see...

I'm mainly a PC Gamer but I got a Wii and 360 too. Love all of them but PC comes first.

I got a Wii cause it has some very good games and I can play some awesome old Gamecube stuff now. I got a 360 for NHL 08 but got some other games too.

I own an xbox 360, Wii, DS Lite and a PSP...

But I still like PC games the most :P

I have none of the current systems. Having children will do that to you. I am now pretty much relegated to the PC in my sig. As such, I spend most of my free time playing PC games.

I had a 360, sold that.

I primarly game on PC, but also have a PS2/SNES. I may get a PS3 down the road (when its ~$200, FFXIII + Versus out, and rumble controller included).

It's very sad to see that up to half of PC gamers could own an Xbox.

Let's hope that the other half doesn't sell out and PC gaming doesn't die!

What really surprises is me how many of these people can afford to game on PC and they also own 2 or 3 of the current gen consoles....

Damn, I wish my money grew on the house plants that I have here....I know for the life of me I couldn't ever afford to get my hands on a 360 or PS3, at least without saving up for quite a long time. My wife is buying me a Wii for Christmas....but I know she's really buying it for herself because she likes playing it and I could careless if we owned one.

I'm content with my PC and I don't feel I need to play every single game out there. I guess I feel that most console games feel dumbed down when compared to PC games, but that could just be my own biased opinion.

I love my pc. I have more games on it than anyone can imagine. I am tired of having to upgrade all the time. For the time being I have been completely in to my XBOX 360 and I think it is amazing. I will do a Wii for the kids this Xmas. They have a DS Lite (*which I really enjoy) and gamecube *(which we have had a ton of fun with). I also have a PS2, a dreamcast, Genesis, SuperNes, Nes, TG16, Neo Geo and a Vtech Vsmile for the 4 year old.

Pc's rock but it's a BIG hassle and I am a busy man where time is money. For now *(even though my allegiance is to the PC), I am a console man.

Oh, by the way.... HALO 3 is AMAZING! No true gamer should miss that experience. You can delude yourself into thinking or saying whatever but there is no feasible response to what I just wrote. It is AMAZING.Deccamann

Halo 3 is the reason I'll be buying a 360........8)

Well I owned a Play Station, a Gameboy Advance few years ago (PS possibly 5 to 6 years & GBA 2 to 3 years)

But now I'm playing games ONLY on my PC & also I prefer playing games on PC
