Why not take into account used games sales and renting as well? Hell EA has gone to great lengths to persuade people to buy games new like charging for day one DLC on all used copies..

consoles... Your PC will become dated in about 3 months and you'll need to spend another $2000 to get a new up to date oneTaylrGang_basic

A new account just to say this? Really?

there is already a trend of a slowing pc market for games. not to mention the obvious, lack of AAA pc exclusives compared to pre-2005, most pc games are being ported to consoles, like dragon age origins for example.

You guys really look at this porting thing one from one side of the argument huh? You do realise the PC has 50% of both HD console's libraries right?

I'm sure that rental companies have a deal with publishers, and considering that you don't own the game in any way - it's not the same as downloading a file and keeping it.Ravensmash

well with a console you have at least 5 years . But with a pc you can spend any amonut of cash. spending the least i would say consoles.
