The only thing I will say against video is for the reason of banning most people have a cheap version of the console for piracy and use another one for online. Another thing people forget/do not seem to know is that PC pirates actually download their games while console pirates purchase pirated games from the people who chip and mod their consoles.

@Isurfu2ube Yeah, ONE person not buying games ect. will make the gaming and music industry go bankrupt.

LOLWTF DO YOU HAVE A MENTAL DEFECT

@MrWASDkeys

thanks for understanding :D

[MrWASDkeys]

@X3BOOODYX2012 OK Sir, good for you.. I was just replying to your other comment which was attacking the price of a PC.

The reason why I prefer the PC is because of the freedom, I prefer the Mouse and Keyboard more than a controller just because it limits my controls, and stops me from playing complex games. Enjoy your gaming experience sir - if that sounds like a attack on you or your PS3 it is not :)

@MrWASDkeys

buddy, with no offense, but I've been playing on consoles for 9 years,

plus I have a PC with 1GB GPU memory, intel cor i3 2.3Ghz, 4GB RAM

but I still prefer PS3, not because I'm a noob in using PCs, I've formated my PC using different OSs, I tried linux, windows, I even made a program through visual basic.

when I wanna relax, I grab my SIXAXIS and play. I tried motioninjoy to use SIXAXIS, it was awoesome but I still prefer my PS3 because it's more fun. I feel comfrotable with it.

@X3BOOODYX2012 Why do you reckon a gaming PC is £1000 and a Console is £400/500 (a question for you to think about)

PC offers more, you can do more than play video games. Oh yeah, you can get yourself a gaming PC for £700/£800 that will play every game out today and play them at a higher resolution than Xbox 360 and PC titles.. I don't think gaming PC's are to expensive, and I am 18 years old with a part time job and I can still afford to buy 3/4 games a year.

@X3BOOODYX2012 I never said it was for hardcore gamers :) I'm just saying consoles are marketed to casual gamers because of the convenience. I don't like my console because it's in the living room where all my family hangs out (Which is the exact opposite of convenience in my case :D)

[X3BOOODYX2012]

@Zacccc51 and PC is for hardcore gamer? no sir, I have to stand and defend with totally no offence but it's an opinion, I'm a hardcore gamer but I prefer my PS3 because it's easier to use, cheaper overall, and you don't have to worry about viruses, PCs are better though :)

[Zacccc51]

@X3BOOODYX2012 Game prices are NOT the same. If you've ever used Steam, they have awesome sales all the time. I saw the Valve pack (Every game Valve has ever created) on sale for $80. Also, PC gaming looks much better. Don't even try to argue with that. Consoles are just stripped down PCs that are made for casual gamers who want to push a button and sit on their couch and play video games (There's nothing wrong with that. I love my 360 but prefer my PC)

[X3BOOODYX2012]

@jrdgzmn1 games' prices are about the same...

but what about devices' pricings?

to get a powerful PC you will at least 1000$ while consoles require only 299$ as a start.
