[QUOTE="Vaasman"][QUOTE="Slimmin360"] Okay lets add this up $399 PS4 10 years of Playstation Plus $500, so let's round that off to $950 over the course of 10 years. The cost of games cannot be included because those are an expense on every platform. To get a descent gaming rig is at least $900, Gaming Laptop is closer to $1500,, and any extra peripherals such as wireless keyboard and mouse, wired or wireless controller, an HD monitor, cables for HD TV hook up.....Now PC gamer's are well into between $1500 to $2000 depending on there choice of machine. Plus i didn't even get into upgrades such as graphic cards, sound cards, ram, hard drives, power supplies and so on. So please don't humiliate yourself by trying to prove that PC's are more cost effective because in that category it is no contest,,consoles have been and always will be the more affordable means of gaming.Slimmin360
You lost me there. Tons of multiplat games started 10 dollars less than their console counterparts. PC games also have faster and more frequent price drops, as well as more frequent sales with more money saved.So don't tell me the games don't matter when the entire point is using leftover money to buy games.
Also I love how you somehow turned a 900 dollar PC into a 2000 dollar PC after peripherals. What did they buy a 300 dollar keyboard and a 500 dollar speaker set? You do realize that if someone upgrades their PC, the previous keyboard and mouse and other devices will still work, right?
Not to mention you added in the price of an HD monitor which is just getting close to the territory of "oh god just quit now, I'm embarassed for you." Can I add the price of a new HDTV to my PS4? Actually I'm going to buy a projector set with movie theater quality surround sound. Now my PS4 costs 5000 dollars. Guess it's not so cost effective after all to play on consoles.
Yes i didn't include the cost of games because they are a necessary expense for every platform. How many descent gaming rigs do you know come with monitors?....Maybe a Target or Wal-mart special PC for $500 to $600 bucks might come with one, but that's no serious gaming rig, and it certainly wouldn't be on par with a PS4. So yes an nice 27 or 32 inch LED monitor $150 to $300, a wireless keyboard and mouse at least $80 for both..add the $600 you proposed to this, even one that includes the mouse and keyboard and your still looking at $1000 for a computer that's not fit to shine a PS4's shoes as far as graphics. Yeah but for a console you need a monitor or tv too. I use the same tv for my pc and my consoles. For a 1000$ I make a pc that smokes the ps4 (with mouse & keyboard) You don't realize how weak the consoles are compared to pc's.
