Flowergirl0 Puritanical Shinigami Flowergirl0 Puritanical Shinigami Flowergirl0 From looking at the pro's and cons of gaming platforms I'm convinced that the PC is the best. A good solid PC can handle any thing you throw at it, and with a lot of older stuff you can emu it. Looking at the line up for PC games, they get a good selection of every thing that comes out too. The PC is the overall greatest consoles for games, but at the same time is the most expensive, unless you torrent/download all your games and what not. But even then, they cost a lot to upgrade every 5 years or so. Emulated games actually for the most part, suck on PC, the actual game itself is soo much better. Honestly I find it a much more worth while investment in a good PC, because you can do a lot more then just game with it too you know? Besides being a hobbiest with them, I usually have just as much fun building them as playing on them. I've usually seen that PC games cost about the same if not less then games for consoles. Especially the 360, who pays 70 bucks for a video game? I've never had problems with Emulation before, granted I've yet to go for a PS2 Emu, but with older stuff it works fine. I think the main reason people have problems is that they don't realize that their processor can't handle the load. I like the Key Board better then a game pad as well honestly. And you can all ways mod a controller to work with USB. Yea, you can do everything on it, the better the PC, the more enjoyment you get out of ding tings on it. PC games usually cost $10 less than console games, I never read up why though :S Well also using keys as analog is a pain in the a**, you myswell get a PC controller. I like the keyboard better for FPS games, I find it a lot more easier to use, cause you only use a few keys and the mouse to play, unlike 2 analog sticks and 8 buttons on a 360/PS3 controller. I'm gona need to get a new system in the next few years, mine's pretty much maxed out right now. I think for the next one I get I'm gona just blow like 3000 bucks on the best possible stuff (unless I decide to get the civi model 4-16 instead). Get a Blu-ray burner, and SLI to 9800s or some thing. And Liquid cooling. And two Terabites. For the most part I can get good control out of just WASD or arrow keys, some times just as good as I can from an analog stick. I grew up playing that kinda stuff though. I was on the computer when I was like 5. If I had a lot of money to spend, I'd deffinetly get a maxed out computer with all the up to date things and what not, so I can have the gaming experience I've always wanted from a compuetr, but never quite got sad

Unless you are getting some seriously awesome custom case stuff and liquid cooling, and a really good warranty. Usually a top of the line video card will cost about 300 bucks these days, then you need about a 400 dollar processor, and a 300 dollar motherboard. Then the rest you can get for about 500 bucks, power supply, ram, Hard Drive, and DVD drive should not set you back that much.

I haven't spent a dime on a computer cause I usually don't want to spend the money on it when my family gets them anyways and I just use them. Not the best ones, but they still pass.
