If you buy 250 dollars worth of pc games per year that means in 4 years the whole pc gaming rig will have cost 1500, and that's not including the monitor, maintenance to the tower etc..

Console is cheaper.

I have both and console is not cheaper than a PC of similar performance. I resell some games too.

Also, I'm not even sure what "maintenance to the tower" means.

If you buy 250 dollars of console games per year that adds the money to the console then as well, except you will get a lot less games

maintenance to the tower? Monitor?

Same as saying

Maintenance to the console, and TV.

The endless debate for console...

When you have to bring up the added expense of a ****ing keyboard and mouse (controller), maintenance to tower (a ****ing $2 dollar can of compressed air/maintenance to console), cost of a monitor (tv), cost of a chair (wtf do you do? stand when you play your console?), the 5 or so ports that wont make it to pc (vs the hundreds that wont make it to console), the benefit of reselling a game for $20 less than you bought new (vs buying a game for $5 on steam sale) you just know that you are hopelessly looking for a reason to justify spending $500 on a pos system that was mediocre in 2010.

Have fun with that shit for the next 8 years, bud.

Meanwhile, in another 2 years or so, I'll spend 1/5 of what you spent on that pos to upgrade my PC, that already shits on the PS4 and XBone, with a shiny new GPU that will extend the life of my computer til the next console release, and it will shit on that console too and it will be 5+ years old.

Calm down. I never said PC was bad, it's just pricey.

And while your feverishly updating video card drivers and scouring message boards trying to figure out why your game keeps crashing to the desktop, I'm sitting on my couch actually PLAYING GAMES.

It does, but it's A LOT less if you can resell. And if you like playing recently released games on pc you are already at a huge disadvantage.

I love console and will always pick that, but you can't play F2P games on a console that have paid type amount of content in it like you can on PC. There's no beating that.

My xbox freezes every now and then. Just saying.

And lets not forget the whole RROD with the last xbox

PC games do from time to time crash but lets not pretend consoles are perfect

And let's not pretend PCs are perfect either…

There are valid reasons to own BOTH actually.

I agree

I actually own both a PC that I play a ton of games on and a ps3 that I play games that don't come out on pc on. Like Madden the show. Owning both is a great way to go.

Still I refuse to spend $1K on a GPU and consoles are more convenient to move.

If you spend 1k on a GPU your litteraly doing like 2 780s, which is 6x as powerful as a console :/

So yea, dont need to spend that kind of money.

Console more portable? Its a PC case layed on its side. In fact, there are tons of LAN party cases out there that are made specifically to be portable.
