You figure a solid gaming machine costs 500 or so. Factor in 3 new games a year ($150), Steam sales a year... $100? Mouse, keyboard, gaming monitor/tv and a nice chair to sit in during those long hours.

I can't hook up my tv in the family room and play with a m/k, it's just too inconvenient.

Plus, you have to wait an eternity for ports to come to pc, if they come at all.

Not to mention sports games:

UFC, Madden (Please god send 2k), MLB The Show, WWE series, Fight Night and who knows when PC will truly get a next gen NBA 2k. It could be a ps3 port for the next several years.

First thing

If you're willing to look you can find a good gaming PC for less then $500 you just have to be willing to look. I have a pc that is great at games that I spent a grand total of $255 for. That's including video card and ram that I bought to go with the PC. Ebay is wonderful for finding cheap PCs that are great for gaming if you are willing to do the work and find them.

But on the flip side games are cheaper on PC. I paid 29.99 for NBA 2k pc If I were to get a console version I would have paid double that. And I can mod my 2k to look great and more real with ESPN,TNT scoreboards. It's really nice

Next most PCs come with keyboard and mouse included.

you do make a good point about UFC Madden there are some console only games that I wish would be on PC. NBA 2k will most likely be a port but that's just 2ks greed. They could very easily make it up to nex gen standards but they refuse to.
