Enjoy. lol

Wow, SO OLD. lol

Anyway, He has some truth.

PC gaming is cheap, Console gaming if expensive.

All the videos I've watched of his have been great. Especially when he was debating those 3 uninformed losers "3killabytes" or whatever. I actually felt sorry for them. The ownage was too much to bare.

You're right about one thing. He states in his later videos that a good pc can be bought for 300-400 bucks, though most of the time we spend around 600 to 800 for a good rig. Still, the costs are made up for with good deals on pc titles. A lot of us don't pay the full $50 for a game. We have Steam, D2D, and other services that offer games at WAY lower prices, and they hit record lows during the holiday season.

I'm going to say that if you are not hardware crazy, you can hold on to your hardware for 3 to 5 years (and then upgrade) and still save more money than a console player. While the average console player may buy 4 or 5 $60 games a year, the pc gamer can be spending $10-$40 per year and upgrading every five years.

Oh it's BBC. He's kinda funny.

It depends where you live. Here if I wanted to get a PS3, that'll be $600 for the midrange package, which is necessary for all the mandatory install data. Then every PS3 game is around $100 at release. PC is about $1000 initially, then afterward new release games cost around $50-$70 though Steam, often less. Just say I buy ten new release games a year (which is pretty accurate for me), a PS3 would have me $1000 down while PC would have me a little over $500 in games, making the end cost around $1600 worth of PS3 gear or around $1500 worth of PC gear. Ofcourse this isn't factoring in extra costs such as PSN+. And then of course you add in mods and hundreds of inexpensive indie games I'll get much more bang for my buck entertainment-wise. This difference builds up over the years. There's a reason why PC gaming is more popular in Asian and South-American countries, where console gaming in ridiculously expensive for what you get.

And when the next generation comes around that'll be around $800 for a new console or around $400 to upgrade my rig. After the initial entry cost PC gaming does get much cheaper, though it varies depending on country.

I would lose against this guy and my brother if they join forces...I don't mind PC gaming still...Has some fun games...

The first comment on that video is "lol Dude you're such a ******* nerd", and BBC replies "So?". :lol:

[QUOTE="r4v3gl0ry"]

[QUOTE="Calvin079"] I don't own a console I do have a PC and must ask, how is PC gaming cheap? (besides the obvious Steam sales) You pay 500-1200 for a good gaming PC and 50-60 dollars per game. XBOX and PS3 get $400 plus their 50-60 dollar games. The Wii ($200) and its 50-65 dollar games. Its looks like console gaming is somewhat cheaper.

How so? Its ok for console owners to baselessly claim superiority, but when its a PC gamer with valid points then it becomes a problem?

On another note when does those steam sales actually happen?? Because so far ive been browsing steam and the games i want they either dont have or is just as expensive as a console game. For example brotherhood, origins and even thief seems to be a bit high than i anticipated.bigboss5ak

Around Christmas they have massive sales, but there's a few gems scattered about throught the year.

Dude what an awesome suit. That dude knows how to stay fitted, sipping his drink out of his white plastic cup, true style.

Good video. There are some points that he left out that I would have added (dedicated servers, other DD sites, mouse/keyboard/any input device you want, etc...), but not bad.

Not saying he doesn't have valid points and not saying console owners are always innocent or always nice. I just found his attitude extremely annoying.

Honestly it would be stupid for a console gamer or PC gamer to claim superiority either way.

Well it's youtube so it wouldn't surprise me. :lol:

One of my favorite persons on youtube. He has a few videos that annoy me, but overall, he's a million times better than 3killabites.

Yea, 3killabytes don't know **** about PC gaming lol.

BBC told em PC games have AA and he said that consoles also have AA and AAA games xD

'Lemonade and raspberry'

Lol, this guy is cool :lol:

:lol: when someone uses a plant to make him self feel better then no he has no valid points. Get that guy over here and he'd be eaten alive.
P.S: plant as in the main guy whom he argued with was obviously someone he asked to do it.

I think his attitude is perfect for dealing with the people he's making these for. Ever saw 3KillaBytes or whatever they call themselves do that PC VS console "debate"? You can only stay mature and factual for so long before you just start treating people like that as children... One can only handle a certain amount of downplaying 1920*1080 by the same people who soak up every single LoT before one starts trolling.

nobody denies pc gaming is better because it is, but I prefer to be on the system my FRIENDS use....

[QUOTE="bigboss5ak"][QUOTE="Mystic-G"] Many sales are very random and don't always included just Steam. Many games on other digital download websites regularly have game sales. But most of the massive collection of sales are typically Winter and Summer sales on Steam. Steam can't do it too often, otherwise people would never buy games outside of Steam sales. lolMystic-G

fueled-system

lol this man has the TRUTH. to be honest i would prefer to game only on PC or even on the ps3, but all my friends got the xbox, so guess what, the only system i game on is xbox.

o believe me i tried, i owned 4 ps3's (over the years) and sold them all. just because i love being able to play with my friends. i don't care how good your resolution or your frames per second. when your by yourself its just kind of.... boring. i used to be a diablo 2 FANATIC. but then my friends hopped on xbl with halo and gears, and well diablo 2 was boring and i just kept hearing all these crazy stories of playing online and talking to people.

really, it comes down to what your friends play. believe me i won't make the same mistake next gen of wasting a good thousand on re-buying and re-selling the same consoles i think i want but don't really.

[QUOTE="Mystic-G"][QUOTE="bigboss5ak"] Well hopefully i can catch a great deal this summer like the guy in the vid was showing because this rig put a dent in my pockets and i wouldnt mind some great games for cheap.bigboss5ak

Direct2Drive always has those 20% Off Deals Going Around. On my Sig I have a 15% Off Code if you want. You can get the Witcher 2 for in the thirties of dollars.

Right Now; they are also having the 30 Days of Deals Sale and my 15% Code, I believe also works on those. A different game every day for cheap.

Cheap + Cheaper = CHEAPER!!
