Dead Space 2

I'm the same way. I can't come up w/ a reason to keep updating a computers hardware and shelling out dollars after dollars to stay current. $50 Game + $250.oo video card = i got me a PS3.

I hear many console gamers say that, but I can't get myself to agree with this.

After all, if you buy a PS3 you *also* need a PC, albeit a basic one.
€300 PS3, €400 basic computer. Add to that the €500 (at least) HDTV you'll need to fully utilize the PS3. Let's favour the PS3 and say we hookup the PC to the tv as well, so that it doesn't need a €100 monitor to go with it
This totals on €800, with another €500 for the TV or €100 for a regular monitor (to which you can connect both the ps3 and pc aswell).
For €800-€1000 I can buy a mighty, game-crushing PC (including monitor and everything) which will literally play everything you throw at it maxed out, and will last 3 years at the very least without upgrading.

So basically, I wouldn't buy a console+TV if I have a good PC (which I luckily do), but I *do* have to buy a basic PC+monitor if I decide to get a console.

In the end it remains your own choice, and if you prefer a console then be my guest. However, I can't agree that it's supposed to be cheaper.
