Why would anyone not own a gaming PC?

No, but most people already have a PC, and many of them don't have an HD monitor. Buying an HD monitor would solely be for gaming, in addition to the PC itself.Pug-Nasty

Outside of gaming, there is no need for an HD monitor, as for the TVs you have games, films, television all providing HD content.

Monitors have been HD for over a decade, are you talking about widescreen resolutions?

I was thinking the same thing, the monitor I have had since 1997 has been able to do up to 1600x1200 (Graphics cards at the time not so much). I think it's kind of funny how little people know about technology.

Maybe I am reading things wrong no need to enlarge words though makes you look like a real troll as well as a douche. Aren't the things he listed just parts for a gaming rig I assumed he was adding them to a bare bones PC he bought at a store.

I'm thinking it's gotta be a mistake. Or at least, hoping it is :P

I'm definately thinking it's widescreen, but they've been around a while as well.

Nope, those are all the parts necessary to make a whole rig (around 8-10 parts, depending on what you need). A shop will put it together for less that $50 usually, or you can just do it yourself.

Yes perhaps, but saying you can't find games in these lists that interests you is a blant lie.

i was thinking about getting one. but i couldnt find one i wanted under 1100 for the rig it self. after screen, spekers, keyboard and mouse it woulda been way more. so i just got a all in one dell that played wow perfect.

i can only play mmos on key board and mouse. i cant get used to playing normal games on them. like the left 4 dead 2 demo or even mario on a emulator.

that was the main reason i didnt go with a gaming rig.

Not really. Many of those games may not appeal to people because of genre, style of play, production values, graphics, etc etc. Or there may only be a few that appeal, and the vast majority that don't.

Preference is a fickle thing, and trying to quantify it is even more difficult.

People can be more interested in console games, like I am.FIipMode

Yeah, but why not ADD (not replace) PC gaming along with it? :)

Money. Regardless of how much it costs, it's still an additional cost not everybody wants to pay.IronBass

Yet we certainly see people buying consoles and ignoring PC....Even though PC has more exclusives, more features, etc than all consoles and doesn't cost much more, like has been shown time and time again.

I don't get it. What does PS3 have? Shooters, racers? You saying those arent available on PC?

If PCs were so great, consoles wouldn't exist. Yet, they do - so consoles fulfil the needs of a segment of the market.

I like my PC. But choice is good, so as long as people choose something they're happy with...it's all ok.

(Hey, perhaps we can close SW now? :P )

I sold my gaming PC because there's hardly any exclusives that interest me. My laptop does fine for computer use, and my gaming PC was just collecting dust. I for one have never, ever liked PC gaming communities. They have always been full of people who think they should run the world, and since they can't, they run a server instead as though they are a gaming God.

It could extend to more than just genres, and be an interest in the actual franchises, i.e., Uncharted, MGS, Killzone, GT etc.

Here we go again, What are these dumb Pc prices ? for Pc gaming....

Heres a complete parts list that would create a gaming Pc thats 8x faster then any of the consoles. For under $800 and you can change a few parts and it can be a Pc thats only 4x faster then the consoles forunder $600. And consoles cost $300 and you you can spend $600 and get something thats multiple times faster. Id say thats a good deal, true HD resolutions, high end graphics nothing cut or toned down because of limited resources on consoles, get the better looking multiplats and the exclusives that arent on consoles. And vist these forums to rant and rave, and anything else you do on a computer.

Pretty much this...I honestly don't know a lot about PC gaming, but acting as though everyone should own a gaming PC is flat out ignorant. Some people it doesn't suit...others don't have the money, the time, the desire...Its ignorant to act as though everyone should own any of said item? Why would anyone not own a car? I mean its more efficient as well as comfortable travel?

There are a plethora of reasons as to why someone might not be interested in or own any given item.

As for me I don't have the money, desire, or knowledge to build and use a gaming PC. Not to mention as a teen I am somewhat conscious about my social image, and consoles are generally accepted as being less of a "basement dweller's" hobby. Then again maybe building a gaming PC would work wonders for me ;).

Apparently people don't look at the many variables associated with getting into PC gaming, or just refuse to understand them. I'm an avid PC gamer, but I understand perfectly that it's not for everyone.

Lies. People are never content with what they have. I'm not joking btw. Everyone always wants more.

I think that if you consider yourself a real gamer.. you would have as many platforms as possible... you should have no bias...

Heck even though I have a Wii, DS, PS3, I hardly touch them.. The only reason im on my ps3 alot is because my gpu fan failed..waiting for the replacement to come back... I think of them as backup gaming devices:D
