I like both for different reasons. You get more bang for your buck with a console (in the first few years of their life anyway). It's a much better experience than an entry level PC.
true. Having put together my own gaming pc recently, i can qualify this. A top end pc costs a hell of a lot to put together when comparing to a console when looking at a purely gaming perspective.
having said that, if your a purist, some of the graphical mods you can get for PC are off the chart.
on the other hand, most of the people I would game with regularly will probably be on console so I will probably bite in the end anyway.
Itll be ps4 in any case, theres literally no reason in my eyes to go for an xbox based off the current announcements unless your dead set on an exclusive.

Should of looked in this bit of the forum before, bit late on this.
But at Zedie, if your smart with your money or get good advice its not that expensive to build a PC for gaming depending on your demand.
The most expensive down payment you'll have to make is if your starting from scratch, after that upgraded parts are not that bad when your doing it for demand.
To upgrade you can spend as little as £150 on a GPU or a CPU depending on what you actually need.
With PC's requirement is everything.
However with mine I couldn't even look at a console again.
My PC is hooked up to my £500 NAD Amplifier system which doesn't need CD's because it plays from iTunes straight to the Amp, games (ones you can't get for consoles like Total War), am able to use an Xbox controller for playing COD or BF etc, don't have TV aerial in my room so need the PC to access channels online, downloading, documents, streaming footy as I don't have Sky, all hooked up to my 32" LCD (soon to be 40").
Must have for me.

Tech stiffy initiated!
Completely agree on all of the above. It was a chunk of money building my rig from scratch, but there is so much room for improvement that my PS3 literally collects dust now.
Getting an EVO 840 500Gb SSD for Christmas to transfer Win7 and my Steam/Origin library onto. Also, if i really wanted to push things, i could get a 2nd HD7970, bridge it with my current and crush any game that crosses my path!
When i think of 720p gaming max on the BRAND NEW XBOX ONE, i just cant go back.
re BF4/COD - you might struggle if using an Xbox controller v everyone on keyboard / mouse combo. Since ive been gaming on my PC (had BF3 on PS3, then got it for the PC earlier this year), the game just feels more fast paced on a PC. It takes a bit of getting used to, but once youve tweaked your custom button config, or gotten used to the keyboard layout, its on!

Having a PC is like doing up a custom car, it gets addictive and you get to know all the different parts etc, tech is so much part of our society now its not just nerds who know about this stuff anymore ......... just clever people.
The rest just use consoles.
Its so dumbed down they've even taken away your God given right to switch the thing on, now you just walk into a room, grunt at it like a Caveman and it just turns itself on lol.

One thing i would always say though, is if i were going to rebuild my PC again, i would have defo used a modular PSU. Tried keeping my cabling nice and clean but it was practically impossible with all the wires coming out of my non modular TX750.
Its not exactly a mess in my case, but could have been so much better!

It's still a pain in the arse and probably always will be. Developers can still f**k you around by selling products that don't actually work. When everything comes together and stuff just works, it's great. But that is sadly a rarity. Whereas on a Playstation or Xbox, with perhaps 3 exceptions I can think of (Skyrim, BF4 and Bayonetta) games "just work". No bullshit involved.
Consoles will always have a place in my life regardless of how super powerful my computer is.
