PC vs Consoles

[Kid]

clearly there is still no progress here

There will NEVER be progress with this topic (Unfortunately). PC has better graphics, faster frame rate, etc...
However I'd take console ANYDAY over PC. "Now why on Earth would you do that? With mediocre graphics and the likes?"
I can almost guarantee 99% of you PC guys play your great graphic'd, frame rated, awesome games on bullish*t sized monitors with lame surround sound, while sitting two inches from the screen.
HORRIBLE!

I've never understood this argument. All the PC gamers I know either combine multiple monitors or hook up their PCs to HDTVs (I do the latter).

I feel like this is just another manifestation of the typical "I don't know anyone like you so I'm just gonna assume y'all do things my way" syndrome, a common root of minority discrimination. It's just like how the social stigma surrounding homosexuality is the result of idiots who've never even met a gay person in their lives trying to educate people about the issue. Similarly, people tend to dislike PC gaming because those who are ignorant on the matter spread bullshit "facts" like the one you just said, creating a stereotype that is far from reality.

What's ironic is that the people who boast about their almighty 50" HDTVs are often the first to bitch about "how expensive" PC gaming can be.

I'm going a bit offtopic here, but for fuck's sake people: stop equating your opinions to your identity. If you're not ready to change your mind, even when vast evidence supporting an opposing view is presented, you will always be wrong.

This statement is basically true. I have 3 friends that are hard core PC gamers and their 1080 monitor screens are no bigger than 22 inches. And of course one of my friends Chris actually lost his internet for 3 days due to a late payment, and he was unable to access most of the 53 games he had purchased off Steam.

But then again, I own 6 consoles and over 210 Xbox 360 game discs + digital purchases. I EASILY have the money to be a "Full Time Gamer PC Nerd" but for conventional purposes, social purposes, and exclusives, I bought a console. You don't know how many times I've been exited out of an online MMORPG because of Java updater? I could go out and buy a $1,600 gaming PC which will probably be the best of anyone's on this board. I won't enjoy the games any more seeing them in "Uber amazing graphics!" and my online multiplayers will have less people.

I have the money to be a hard core PC gamer, I just choose not to.... >:]

It's a pointless discussion. It's like discussing politics and/or religion. Each genre has their fanboys (Guilty when it comes to console use)...
Must give credit to the original author of this thread for pretty much knowing this would happen...lol

...or hook up their PCs to HDTVs (I do the latter)

Haha, even with this stated, I would practically need to see a pic/video of said visual. Still sticking with my 99%'er statement...
Uhhh, congrats on falling into the 1% bracket...
Oh and I love gay people. I got my silly equal sign sh*t on my Facebook and Twitter pages...
Meh, we alllllllll assume nowadays!
