And upgrading a PC isn't expensive in your opinion which is something you have to do every two years....

[QUOTE="washd123"]

i mean theyre so expensive its like $500 for a good console and then $60 per game plus $50 a year to go online plus like $60 for DLC. they only have have like jrpgs and hac kand slash games. you have to use a controller which sucks. and they always break!

so why would you ever play games on a console?

Replace 'console' with 'Xbox360' and your post is actually true.

Hmmmm. Last I checked, the Xbox 360 was never $500. Ps3 on the other hand, was. TC, your soo clever :roll:

I don't know about anyone else, but I've had a console break once (RROD of course). My PC? I've had several sound cards break, a video card, two hard drives, a CPU, and a stick of RAM go bad. That's over 6 parts and that's over a period of 4 or so years. If you want you can toss in two bad PSUs in two separate laptops. Console, once since 2007 (I own a Wii, 360, and PS3).

I had to replace my hard drive recently for some reason. So far, of all the consoles I own for the last 15 years, none of them have broken down. My PC always suffers at least one problem once a year.

And consoles don't have system requirements now, do they?

shows who the 'ignorant' one is here

MW2 is 1024x600 less than 1024x768

good try though

what.... are you seriously trying to argue the point that 1920x1080 is a LOWER res than what you play it in? (1024x768....or whatever)

If its fact do you have a link to a website stating their $500 for evidence/support?

Its not just fact because you say it, give a credible link!

Those aren't facts. They are just lies.

Consoles are not $500, many people already proved you wrong, but you refuse to face it.

Consoles have way more than that. The most popular video games character is on CONSOLES, and is a PLATFORMER, not JRPG.

Do you have to buy accessories? No. Is DLC required? No. Is DLC $50? No. Are all accesories $50? No.

That's some pretty serious brainwashing from MS and Sony. Most console games run at below 720p regardless of your TV.

ehh? i'm not sure on that one. i'm not sure what MW2 runs at. however, many console games indeed do not run at a full 1920 by 1080 resolution. i think MGS 4 was only 720, maybe even less. often, the images are upscaled. sorry, not trying to be difficult here, but that's the truth.

All games that run at 60FPS (Halo 3, ODST and Cod4/6 are the main ones) run at 600p.

All opinion, stop being such a lonely PC idiot to get that most of the world and gamespot are console gamers and noone wants to spend $500 to upgrade a PC just to play Crysis

Actually, if you haven't noticed, he's just imitating people like you who spit false bull**** about PC gaming. It's mind boggling how so many people didn't even notice the sarcasm.

Upscaling actually makes the game look worse. MS does it just to give them the right to write "1080p" on the game box, nothing more.

hmmm interesting, very well, my mistake. o was aware obviously if you use a smaller screen and therefore a smaller image with the same resolution the game will look better, but i wasnt aware they were actually 600p, ithought it was 720. anyway, thanks, learned something!

washd123
Yea why would anyone, when all you do is pay $1000-2000 for a good PC, then pirate all your games, and feel superior. Pc gaming is fun and all, and generally better, but consoles are just as fun.
