Wrong! You typed that a 6800GT can max out COD 4 plain and simple. We both know it can't because it cannot run it at a decent fps. That's like saying I can max out Crysis using a 6600GT.DaGamingGod

Don't compare Crysis with COD4 . COD is way better optimized . And yes , you can almost max out cod 4 with 6800gt and a good cpu and have a playable fps . The fact that you could change some options is a big advantage .

They probably think it's cheaper because they download most of they're games.

could you just stop posting stupid things and read the whole topic ? or just say a good argument?

Gamers love consoles because they are very convenient. They don't have to worry about drivers, spyware/viruses dragging down performance and they don't have to worry about if a new game would run well on their system. They also don't have to worry about not receiving the latest and greatest games which are mostly all on consoles these days except Crysis (for now).

Even if i don't agree with all of that , i don't know about the others but i prefer to worry about those than to worry if my console will rrod me . And i still don't see why the lack of flexibility is the greatest advantage of the consoles. Someone that LIKES to play a game will surely want extra content and other things .

You have to remember that the PC parts that you listed won't last nearly as long as a console would. =)DaGamingGod

And what if the computer you're browsing on is not yours?HuusAsking

2gb of memory for 35 dollars? umm where?wildwild

If you're reading this you surely have a pc (at least 90%) . Let's assume that you have a pc from last gen , or just a weak one wich you're using for the internet . The only things you need for it are a motherboard , a graphics card , memory , a cpu and a power supplie. Let's do a list and see what's the final price .

the 9600gt graphics card is around 200$ . An Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 is 120$ . 2gb of memory are 35$ . A motherboard is around 50$ and a power supplie 30$ .

=435$ .

That's almost the price of the ps3 in my country . And you have an almost high-end pc , that will run all games at high details , and will still do it after 2 years . And you have more high quality games , superior controls (and you can always use a gamepad if you don't like it) , rts , wrpgs and fps (genres that distinguishes hardcore gamers from casual gamers ) , you can browse the internet , use photoshop , write your own games , have tons of free games , you can mod your games , flexibility , and many many other things , some that i don't think i can discuss here , that a console can't do .

So why do i see everywhere saying that computers are WAY more expensive than consoles ? And why it's all his flexibility treaten like a disadvantage ? Tell me why should i buy a console , except 10 good exclusives (and half of them will end up on pc ) .
