PC for me. If you are counting what I already got then I would choose the other 2 consoles that I don't have because my PC is already nice.

I'd definitly go with the PC.

I've found that I spend much more time doing other things on my PC other than gaming as of late.

3 consoles would cost about $1100-ish. An uber rig with parts that no hermit would dare buy unless they've got a wallet to burn (Four 8800 Ultras, anyone?) would cost way more than $3000.

I'm pretty sure it's obvious which one to pick.

3 consoles, then I'd buy my own rig. Even w/ an uber rig I'd probably update it in 2 years anyway.

tell me what application and motherboard support 4 vid cards at the same time plus youd need a uber case if you have extras using the back plates

I'd rather take all three consoles and a pretty good rig... something that could handle at least Starcraft 2.

But other than that, most of my gaming is on consoles and I don't need an overpowered rig for internet browsing.
