I've tried PC gaming before, and it is no where near as amazing as these crazy hermits would have you believe. The best way to go is console gaming, better yet, get everything, including a gaming PC if you've got the money. If you go with PC you are very limited in genres, pretty much all you have is shooters, real time strategies, and WRPGS. Now, I like all those genres, but come on, the reason I play console gaming is because I like soem variety in what I play. THe other thing is, no matter what you say, PC gamign is expensive. Even if you build it yourself it will cost more than a console. If you want to build one that you won't have to update with new hardware in a year, it will cost more than all three consoles. Its been about a year or so now since I've switched back to consoles and I'll tell you, I am having waaaaaaay more fun with it.
