PC. Much more economically viable and overall satisfying, especially when you learn to take the hardware/software problems with the "double the trouble, twice the fun" attitude.

PC that runs new games - what, $900? not for the best parts, but a pretty good one. Console = $300 for a 360 with 2 games? I don't get it. If you mean prices of games, it's $10 difference new, but console games have more special offers when new, and eventually they all go so far down- pc games typically disappear before they reach $10 unless they're classics.

$900!!! wtf you looking at a very decent pc there. $400 seems about the what you need for an entry level pc unless you can get the os for free then you only need $300 ;)

I still have to switch discs with over half of my pc games.

no cd cracks ftw!! honestly all the data is on your hardrive no **** point in needing a disk to play.... and of course if its bought from steam or other DD this is a non-issue.

Thats still more then a console. Consoles are better then PCs.

Mograine

:? What? That's less than a console, care to elaborate?

Well its pretty basic math. $420 is in factmore than $300.

i enjoy paying on both but i prefer the PC. better controls for most genres, better visuals, better performance, better BC and a killer games library.

Consoles. Used to love PC, but if you lose that love for playing with hardware, it's soon to follow.lowe0
Doesn't make any sense.All the pc's i bought, were pre-built,but from a small company that is reliable and after you sum up the parts isn't a steal(verified myself).They are way cheaper since they do not come with a OS, after that, drivers and voila ready to play. I prefer pc gaming, because of mouse and keyboard and the fastest paced fps are pc exclusive. Why would i play slow paced ones like halo,gears,killzone or uncharted ;)

[QUOTE="kidcool189"]you're 9800gtx and athlon x2 5000 does not utterly destroy consoles...its better, but does not destroy and its highly unlikely you're averaging 50fps @ high with your setup in crysis

Depends on what's your definition of destroy is. If playing at resolutions over 2x higher with fps over 2 times higher as well not destroy than what is? Take any console game and do apples-apples comparison, ie settings, res and framerate and compare the same game running on his PC, the difference will be huge. Where a console game will be doing 30 fps, he would be getting 100+, again apples-apples. This is what happened to me with dead space, and other multiplats. A perfect example is Mass Effect. I played it first on the 360, and performance was pretty decent, but framerate was bad, I got it for PC now and run it at 1680x1050, all highest settings with 2x MSAA and have much better framerate, average about 45-55. So now not only does the game look sharper and thus better but it also runs a hell of alot better.

i'd say a combo along the lines of gtx260/4870&intel e8400 is when you can start saying it destroys consoles no way you can achieve twice the framerate along with twice the resolution along with migher settings on majority of multiplats with a x2 5000&9800gtx...especially not with that x2 5000 and certainly wouldnt that kind of performance in mass effect with those settings

the x2 5000 is fine for today's games and the 9800GTX is faster than my 8800GT, which I use to play mass effect along with a c2d @3.2 and 3gb of ram.

Consoles. While I do game on both, I have a hard time finishing my games on PC because I'm reminded that I need to do things other than play (I usually use it for work-related tasks), and console gaming in general is much more relaxing and comfortable (sitting on a couch with a controller playing on an HDTV with surround sound for extended hours rather than playing on a keyboard and mouse hunched over my desk for extended hours).

Well, let's see. I have 2 gaming PCs, a PS3, and a Wii. Playtime, along with preference is as follows:

1) PC

2) Wii

3) PS3

PC does what the consoles do, but a lot better. Wii has the best exclusives. And, I mostly just use my PS3 for Blu-Ray, and to stream HD movies from my file server to my HD TV. imo

Yeah.. but sitting at a PC, you are right up on the monitor and usually sitting in a computer style chair and now a recycle like you would be when playing a game console. I know my eyes dried out quickly playing WoW for 5-7hrs. When I do play PC games (which is rarely) I usually limit it to 1-2hrs. My job is working on a PC for 12hrs, so gaming on it as well, it's good for the eyes or head.

Polls like this shouldn't have a both option. Get off the fence and join a side. Even if you're split 51-49 you still like one platform more than the other.

@UnknownSniper65 ,,weak argument? choose one of this answers .

1.am sorry but i just speak of my mind am not looking to make "a strong argument"am just answering my friend _Sharpshooter_ why i prefer Console, despite the fact that i said on Console you can lie back, and on the other hand it is better to make a distance between you and the screen ,every body knows that.

or

2._Sharpshooter_ ask a simple question(Do you prefer Console or PC gaming) he didn't ask for "a strong argument" or for deep analysis

or

3.dont judge others based on your daily temporary feelings or people will start judging you, no offense my friend, but we came here to forget and run form our complicated lives to have a little bit fun without carrying out our anger with us,so is this "a strong argument" now

am sorry you choose i prefer to be simple and friendly have a nice day :)

both, I spend more time on my PS3 because I don't have a computer that is capable of playing the good games.

PC is great because only on a keyboard can a left handed player be really comfortable.

Between WoW, MW2, CS, Dragon Age, and Empire total war I really don't have anytime for console gaming. Even though I enjoy alot of console games. Halo 3, UC2, and Forza 3 are all great.

I have recently converted back to palying PC games. I have decided that for FPS the PC kills, mainly because of the better controls. I still like consoles but PC gaming gets my vote for now.

It honestly depends on the game, not the genre, or the even the pc/console differences between pros cons. The game itself.

Console gaming all the way. Though next gen I'm probably gonna bug out of Xbox gaming and switch over to PC, PS4, and Nintendo, since PC seems like just an improved Xbox as far as the kind of games it offers.

Both worlds are awesome and have their respective advantages and disadvantages
