It's much less of a hassle to use and half the time my console runs AAA games better than the PC does.

Xiahou Shake 06/09/20 6:16:40 PM #28:	Agreed - I used to pirate left and right but now that I'm older and have more money I feel it's only right to financially support the continued creation of awesome stuff. Of course even within that framework you can easily get minimum 20% off of brand new games and many drop significantly lower after just a few months.

Lightning Strikes 06/10/20 7:17:18 AM #38:	I used to be predominantly PC, then my PC got old so predominantly console, and now both equally due to older games. PC is a much better proposition if you have access, but access itself is a barrier due to upfront hardware cost. However with a new generation (and one where almost everything will come to PC, even most Sony games probably) it seems like a good time to get back in. Edit: Also good luck getting new console games for less than 45. 50 is the standard now even for retail games at the cheaper retailers. Digital is sometimes more expensive, but you get more sales. PC gaming is still cheaper. It's also worth noting that physical PC games do still exist and are often the cheapest option, though a lot of them are just download codes in a box. --- I just decided to change this sig.
