Unlike consoles, PC doesn't technically have a starting point or stopping point, so obviously it from the start of PC gaming till now.

Way out of your way? Not really. Hell, I can run the original Red Alert with simple of ease. You must not be much of veteran if you think what just said. Graphics truely looks amazing compared to some of the their console counterparts. I mean I first played Bioshock on the 360 (not to say it was bad or anything, I am not against console in any way. I game on them myself), but when I looked at it PC version, wow.. Hardware isn't that expensive, it been proven many many times. Community life in many of the PC titles are just superb. Team Fortress 2 for very good example. Mods are ya yes/no chance, but when you find them, some of them are just simply amazing. I assume PC aren't strapped down to the office, right? If you want that cozy couch, you can have it. Whatever you want to play on, its your decision obviously, I am just correcting some things.

Depends on the games you like. For some people the pc is a waste of time. It gets skipped on a lot of multiplats and a lot of the recent exclusives are heavily focused on rts and mmorpgs.

My friends however are all mmo addicts and would ebay any console that you gave them.

Last gen I would have taken the pc but this gen there are more console exclusives that interest me. With consoles now in HD the graphical difference isn't much. Funny thing too is that last gen pc gaming was far more expensive. This gen I have spent way more on console gaming while I haven't needed to upgrade my pc as much.

Considering when combined at full price at launch 360 and PS3 cost much as a low budget PC would you say its better having these two consoles rather than say a high budget PC?

1 PS3
2.360
3 Wii
4.PC
5.PSP

I'd take the 360 and ps3.

Just own all three.

PC/Wii, definitely.

PC gives you all the traditional gaming you can ever, ever, need and the backlog is unmatched. It can play anything and everything. You can set it up to output at a NATIVE 1080 or even more - Mass Effect running at native 1080 with full AA, Dynamic Lighting, and all the effect turned way up is just incomparable with the 360 version. No framerate issues. NO texture pop-in. In the case of the delayed PC version of ME, virtually the entire interface was redone to great advantage. It's clear that Bioware does its best work on the PC.

You don't like gaming on a desk? No problem. With an HDMi cable, you can set up your PC to output on an HDTV. In fact, I'm typing this on an HDTV from my couch. Wireless KBM for the win.

You don't like KBM controls? No problem. The PC can support the 360 controller, all the Logitech controller options, fighting pads, the highest and lowest budget steering wheels, Track IR - you name it, the PC does it. In fact, you can configure the Wii Remote to work with PC games. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.

Why add Wii? Well, the Wii is the most divergent from the PC in terms of title and genre coverage, and it's perfect for entertaining guests, which can be hard to do on a PC. It boots fast, has drop in/drop out play, and no reliability issues. Also, it gets you additional controllers and the sensor bar to play around with. And it's cheap.

My choice is my PC. I get far more games I enjoy on PC than on consoles.

Depends on preference. I prefer a PC, it has more library than 2 consoles.

no contest here, PS360 combo is better... you get to play many 360/PC titles along 360 exclusives while enjoying PS3's exclusives as well...

You'll always be missing PC exclusives but that always happens unless you have all systems... still though imo PS360 would be the better option compared to just owning a gaming PC..

PC/console combo works best if you can afford it.
