Only a handful of my friends have a Ps3. I'm not going to buy a system/PC just because more of my friends have it. Need people to play with? You'll meet people in games, you can join a clan aswell. Weak argument TC.

Most gaming PC's can be had for MUCH less than that. You can get a kickass one for $800. Mine was $600 in 2009

If only people didn't have this mindset when it comes to PC gaming. There be would less envious people on this forum on a daily basis.

With a 700-800 PC you're laughing. Especially if you live in the US, you can get parts way cheaper then most countries.

That doesnn't include all the money you save with Steam.

That doesnn't include all the money you save with Steam.

I built my PC late last year and including Windows 7, a nice keyboard, nice mouse, and overly fancy case, it came out to around $900. If I'd just used the mouse and keyboard I already had and got a normal case it would've been $750. It maxes out literally everything. Then immediately upon getting I saved $200 by buying games during the Steam Holiday Sale... and continue to buy games at ridiculously discounted prices and when not buy them for $10 less than console games cost.

Completely agree with you, I don't know why people don't account for money saved on Steam. What also bugs me is how some people I know who game on a 360 and say my PC was too expensive have underpowered Macs that cost $400 more than my PC.

So you buy stuff just because your friends have it? I would be stuck with a 360 right now and nothing but Call Of Duty if that was the case. I get what I want, big deal if you friends don't have it.

If all your friends jumped off a bridge, plummeting to their death, would you do it too?

Peer pressure debate is highly flawed.

So tell me, what about friends playing other things make it better? I guess if my friends listened to lady gaga, that automatically makes her better than anyone else I listen to.

Ask yourself that question first.

For me, I like the social part of it. It's the same game (minus the graphics) whether it's on PC or 360, but if I play on 360 I get to talk to my friends.

I guess if my friends listened to lady gaga, that automatically makes her better than anyone else I listen to.

Didn't we already throw away the "jump off a bridge" argument?

A lot of us have friends that don't even live in the same region. None of my local friends play games at all. Only my brother does and he lives in Germany while I live in Alabama. We still game together. My gaming friends used to be a bunch of strangers but we became friends through gaming. This is true for all three of my gaming platforms.

Well, in that case then my PC and both my consoles fail me completely. None of my local friends are gamers. So, in my case, which should be my preferred gaming platform? The one with the most people I know or the one with the most people I've met through gaming and enjoy playing with?

maybe because PC is expensive. its almost 10 times the price of a console. sure the graphics are better on PCs but not 10 times better.
