How is this even a question, the obvious answer is PC. The only exception would be if you're travelling the majority of the year.

just depends on what you prefer, stationary gaming or hand-held gaming
for me, no contest, the PC (or any console ever made) trumps the vita easily.

Although I wouldnt compare a handheld to a cnosole vs pc, I would say that..."why would pc gaming NOT be for him?"..We all know pc can do more but that doesnt mean its a better gaming platform. In the end its about each persons views on the game being played..One might like it better on pc, one might like it better on something else. So just because a pc can do everything doesnt mean its going to give each person the same experience.

For mobility gaming and PC, one could go for a laptop i.e. alteast AMD A8 Llano based laptop..

Are you seriously asking whether you should get an unproven handheld that hasn't released, or a gaming PC that already has a vast library of games and offers and costs more for your birthday? Seriously?

Its like asking whether you should get a nice Audi for your birthday, or a cool mountain bike. Sure the bike is great, lightweight and cheap, but are you frakkin serious!?

I'd take the PC as it can be used for production in addition to consumption.

Well, it depends on what kind of gaming you want to do, as a PS Vita would be portable and a PC would not (unless it's a laptop, but even then, it's not as freely playable as a Vita). So I don't really know if you can compare the two.

That really depends on what kind of gamer you are, I mean first off would you rather play a portable than on a PC, and what kind of games you like make a big difference, if you dabble in everything PC would be better but if say you really love JRPGs then probably something like the PSP Vita would be better for that. These things mean that you alone should be the one to make such a decision.

IF they prefer things like encharted then its true I guess... though I cant understand it myself.... but console gamers will like the mainstream things they like.

On of the reasons I like the learning curve of PC gaming. It weeds out certain types of players. Now people can get mad at me for generalizing.

dude, Pc. this is no contest. why? because of STEAM! ridicolously cheap games. also, theres a ton of quality FREE games.

EDIT: there's also a ton of MODS! and of course of teh GRAPHICS!

the ones capitilized are the reasons, and thats 4 huge reasons.

2nd edit: and theMAJORITY OF GAMESare on pc. so if you dont like the big games that arent on PC like Halo, gears, uncharted, blah blah. there's a alot better chance that you will enjoy a game on pc than on consoles because theres alot more choice. like for example, im loving the hell out of world of tanks(free) more than any console game this generation. seriously, get pc because its also CUSTOMIZABLE. so, if you want to play fighting games, get a gaming pad for it then or if you wanna play racing simulators or something, get driving accessories for it. now thats 2 more reasons. sooo awesome for $800.

are people saying vita for real Pc great library that goes way back. Vita not so good library yet Pc $800 Vita $250 and he is getting it as a birthday present. Call me crazy but $800 present > $250 present Besides with pc you can get ridiculously cheap games ( i got both bioschock games for 5euros a while ago )
