If you put an actual investment into a PC, closer to $1000, it will last for years. --- End quote --- this is, in a way, what I was getting at. it's loving expensive but it can be worth it, though I usually prefer buying consoles for their convenience and price. --- Quote from: Ceist on November 21, 2014, 06:37:31 PM ---not even this eitehr tho. good deals during holidays or just random times show for good and long gaming. My computer will last me about two more years, maybe three, before I should upgrade. --- End quote --- and my xbox 360 lasted 7 years. see what i'm getting at? consoles don't get obsolete like PCs do. newer games will come out on PC, and they'll usually be optimized for higher-end PCs, which leaves the lower end PC gamers with little money in the dirt to rot. While console games are made to run on the intended console, no matter how old the hardware, until the next generation of console. I.E GTA V on xbox 360 and ps3. it looked and ran loving great considering how old the hardware was. i should clarify, I am in no way against PC gaming. hell, I DO prefer it at times (back when I had a decent PC I hardly played Xbox), but it's loving expensive. Consoles are convenient and cheap, requiring little to no maintenance and upgrading, albeit while sacrificing graphics and, depending on the game, performance. unrelated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6rBFBLV8cc |

My point was just supporting the idea of getting a decent PC build that lasts long lol. |
