To put it blountly, I think consoles just plain suck. Sure, PC's are more expensive to upgrade and downloading updated drivers and game patches can be a real pain in the arse, but for me that is my PASSION. Give me a console where I can add more storage to (easily) and upgrade my graphics card to get more 3dmarks or overclock my CPU. FPS on a console? What a joke... That died for me right after I fired up Halo for the first time. Give me a game that I can get immersed in like SWG on a console, just won't happen. Just saw Full Spectrum Warrior at the local Ebgames, I thought "Wow, that game looks awesome!" Then I find out it is Xbox only. How pathetic, how can I take full advantage of a game like that on a console? I can't map keys or tailor the game to my liking like I can on a PC. Xbox = Re-built PC made by Microsoft to make more money. I am not against consoles at all, I have an Xbox running linux that serves my files beautifully. Just my 2 cents.. I think PC's are here to stay.
