Console gaming is more expensive than PC Proof

Look lets put it this way how much $cash$ do console people lose in doing Trade ins at there local game store???

You buy a game at $60 only to trade it in for $25 credit?? thats $35 down the drain. Add all those game trade ins and see how much money you lost!! Hehe dont deny not doing trade ins cause i know every console person dose it just go to a local game store and look at the used game shelf. With the stuff i upgrade from i always use the old parts to rebuild another PC for the kids or wife lol.

Any thoughts?

PS i paid $60 on Mass effect only for it to be a $9 trade in no way!! hehe i kept it

ive seen people trade in 10 games to get 2 in return tell me thats not adding up? 10 X lets say $40 = $400

2 games at $40 is $80 so $400 - $80 = $320 dollar loss?? even game systems how much credit do you get for a gamecube $25? or PS2 Xbox dont tell me thats no loss ?

This is more rediculous than the "PS3 is actually CHEAPER than the 360" threads that died out about a year ago

Good Riddance and please dont bring them back.

a) You buy game for $60

b) You buy a second game for $60

= you pay $120

1) You buy a game for $60

2) You trade first game in for a second game, only paying $30.

= You pay $90

How on earth does it cost you more money to trade games in? Isn't the whole idea that it's a money saving scheme?

If you dont want those games any more you're not losing anything. That's the whole point of trade ins. Rather than pay full price for a new game, trade in the ones you dont want, and save money. Sheesh.

PC gaming in general is more expensive and I see nothing wrong with that. You think a guy driving a mercedes is going to feel bad because someone else has a cheap Honda Accord? Please...Blue-Sky

Who trades in games. All they do is rip you off.

PC hardware is more expensive (though not the thousands of dollars fanboys exaggerate it to) than console hardware.

Console software is more expensive than PC software.

Thread finished.

pc gaming - you spend 50 bucks on a game and can never, ever get that back.

well i guess if it's rare you could sell it on ebay.

First, its valid to add the HDTV with the price of a console as you need something to play the console on, no? Lets use a $500 32" 720p HDTV. Add that to the $200, $300, $400 console purchase. And if you really want to nit-pick, add a $100 - $200 more for accesseries (controllers, bull crap extra stuff for 360) And you're looking at $1000 easy right there. Thats a very decent (not high-end or extreme) PC right there. And thats even adding a 22" monitor. So whats more expensive? Its a toss-up. Could go either way.

Second, if you buy games and return them, you're a retard in my book. What fool buys a game just to find out you dont like it? Never happened to me. At my games' original prices, I have easily a thousand or two dollars worth. Never once was I dissappointed in a purchase.

PCgaming can be cheaper, it all depends on how much games you buy and where you live.

For most serious gamers in Europe for example PCgaming is less expensive than console gaming

Might as well add the house where you play the console and the stand where the TV is placed :lol:

Console gaming is expensive, but PC gaming is moer expensive... And are you even allowed to trade in PC games?? Atleast console games give you the optionCouth_

Yes you are allowed to trade in PC games. AND console games cost more so over the time if you buy around 10 games a year (for 4 years) you will have saved 800-1000$ by buying the PC version which is cheaper . That will grant you almost a free uppgrade every 4 years vs consoles

There is no proof here and what you stated does not make sense. Trade ins and reusing parts does not lessen the cost of PC gaming. (I only have a Wii and a gaming PC btw). y.

you'll start seeing them as soon as you see a price cut from either console.
