Well... look at it this way. 99% of everyone here already has a computer. Even a the craptacular $600 PCs are good enough to run most games. You sink the 400 you would have spent on a 360 into the PC and you have an even better rig. The only thing consoles have for them is ease of use. Something that PC developers are hoping to change.
The arguement has been done to death... but as a quick recap- Word processors, email, web, games, mods, patches, freeware, porn, porn mods, porn games... If a PC can't porn it ... do it... You don't need it.
[quote name='GuilewasNK']Not everyone has the money to invest in PCs that can run the very latest FPS though. Although the console player misses out on maps, skins, and mods they have the trade-off of knowing that they don't have to upgrade hardware, there is no extensive configuration process, and the game shouldn't need constant patching (to be fair though this may change as Halo 2 was patched for the online component).[/QUOTE]
