Consoles ARE computers. They're just tucked in a neat little form factor. And their hardware can't be upgraded. You're overestimating a gaming rig build. I build them quite frequently. And for much less than your $800-1000 range.

After years of being addicted to Everquest and sitting At a computer desk. My PCM gaming days are over. My back will start screaming at me if I'm at a desk to long. I rather fire up a console and sit/lay down on a comfy couch. My PCM is for general use and a media center now.

****ing done with PC gaming

Why couldn't you just alter your PC arrangement to better suit your new issues? Maybe an ergonomic chair or a swinging arm for the monitor so you can lay down and have it in a good position?

You know, you can configure a PC based game setup in any way imaginable right?

This includes being kicked back on your couch playing on your big screen with a wireless controller.

Yes that's true. But I am talking about the top tier, the high end of high end. But with a console they can't offer such a thing and gouge you with pricing. My point is, there is so much crap to build a gaming PC and so many types and competitors and prices to choose from. You could easily be fooled and waste money. With a console, what you see is what you get. You save more money is the bottom line and NO ONE can argue that.

Anyone have thoughts on Valve's Steam Box?

Then that would be well over the price range you quoted.

:eek: :eek: :eek: Would it? Well dang then.

Damn, I just sold a full SimHawk simulator console with rudder pedals on Ebay last week.

You SOB.

::D

Sorry to hear that, I try to stretch out about once an hour...it's not really great to sit in one place for hours at a time anyways.

What a stupid article.

"Hurr people aren't developing for dead/about to be dead consoles. In conclusion, console games r ded"

Can't wait for this shit****s next article. "We polled some TV producers and none of them are anticipating they will be making programming for UPN. Broadcast television is dyin ya'll"

Back then i couldnt really do that, one, HDTV's were not around, it was CTR's. then when they came around, they were really expensive.

Now days, i have no desire. I can play on an xbox and relax it. I dont care about super duper leet graphics. I also dont like FPS games. More action/adventure Sports and Fighting games.


ooh and the big kicker, i dont know anyone that games on a PC, no one.

Hell, I built a gaming PC and rarely ever use it. Matter of fact, it has actually become my DVR.

You'll be playing Angry Birds, Plants v Zombies and other phone games exclusively soon, grandpa.
