What kind of deals are you getting where having to update your gaming rig every couple of years is cheaper than buying a console?The kind of deal where I buy that hilariously overpowered mid-range graphics card available whenever the old one dies and is out of warranty (never had anything other than vidcards and one IBM deathstar die on me. ever.). That clocks in at about two-hundred dollars every three to four years.
If I need a new CPU+mobo+ram, (twice in the last decade), add three-hundred dollars to that.
Which is cheaper than buying a new console every couple of years. The PS3 is 650 dollars here. Add to that the pricing policy of console games, and the formula works in favour of the pee cee. and that's not even counting the cost of TV sets (don't have a TV, would never buy one for anything other than console gaming; am aware that you can buy SVGA adaptors, but that kinda ruins one of the purposes of a console and the natural AA) on top of it all.
to each their own though, I'm not trying to evangelize here.

You have a valid point there gibbous. What part of the world is the PS3 going for 650 though?

A nation in continental Europe.My guess would be Germany. I've seen you bring that up on a couple occasions, so to say the least you are familar with German law and customs.

I play mostly on my xbox360 but I get the occasional call from my friends to hook up on some starcraft or warcraft for the pc.

Definitely PC. because I jacked my PC with a Playstation Console program and joystick. Working on the X-box program to be installed. Lots of bugs.
And by the way, if you think a PC is expensive, it's actually not. It's really up to you to budget and pick the right hardware.

i want to be able to play a game with the experience, without the paying of a fuckload of money. so PC is my new niche.
huh? hasn't the PC always been considered the most expensive one since you always have to upgrade your computer / buy new one with almost every new ''big hit'' of game that reach the market ( yes you have to do it with the consoles aswell, but nothing close to the rate of the computers )
Atleast that's what happening in my case, that's why I mostly prefer to play old games on my computer: SC, Trackmania, Sins of A Solar Empire while I save all the new stuff for my consoles, xbox 360 / Wii.
Maybe he means that he plays roms on emulators. That would be a lot cheaper than buying a console and the games for it.
Me, I'm hanging with my PS2. I play old stuff on my computer: NES, SNES, Genesis, GBA.
I think the only way I'd buy a PS3 is if the PS4 isn't backwards-compatible, because by the time I'm willing to spend that much on a game console, the PS4 will already be out.

As for me I only game on my PS3. I won't vote tho cause it says ("Ewwwww") next to it and well my fanboyism just won't allow it. The PS3 has taken a lot of shit from people in the early days and I can't tell you how many times people have said it would never amount to anything or for the matter still be in production as of today. But all of them were wrong as people who say such things usually are.

I just have my 360 and DS, and my PC obviously. Though I haven't really been playing my xbox too much lately

HELL NO.
Normally I'd consider that quite the insult, you know ;p
And I'm familiar with U.S. and french and british law to the same extent as I am with german law - to a very small, and focused degree, relevant to my interests (political developments in western democracies).

If we're going to go with obnoxious guesses, I'll say Germany's little brother, Austria(yes I have been there a number of times and realize that this is a high insult in Austria).
For platforms, I have a ps3. I'm happy with it, like many of the games, and I can't afford a PC with the proper specs for today's games.

While I'm sure you could piece it together with relatively little effort, let's not enable the net stalkers more than necessary, shall we?
Besides, this is totally OT ;p

I have a PC like everyone here on Fakku, but I'm also rocking a Wii and Xbox 360. I only bought my Wii for Super Smash Bros Brawl, and I only bought my 360 to play Halo, and Guitar Hero.... My PC I bought was for porn, and battletoads.
