"Alright, let's say you upgrade once over the course of two years.

$1,200 + $50 (Let's go with 6 games?) = $1,500.

Xbox 360 = $400
HDTV= $700

$1,460. That is a small difference not even worth mentioning, however, subtract the HDTV from the equation and you have

$760. Why subract the TV? TV's cross generations, I do not need a new one to play new games. My TV will last me from now until nearly the end of next generation.

I'm not talking shit to PC gamers, I'm saying it is more expensive and inconvienent than I feel is necessary. On top of that, I prefer console gaming.

But you can't compare the 360 and the PC without taking into consideration that you use a PC for much more - word processing, internet, work, school, chatting, social networking, etc. etc.

What about my calculation above  - the one in which I did not count the TV, just as you did, and I did not count the computer you inevitably already have, and because most people buy Dells or HPs, I took into account their average requirements.

Sorry to necropost, but I just realised the real reason.
You can't quicksave with consoles. Anyone who's played STALKER would know what I'm talking about.

I'm not really sure, but spending $1500 to upgrade a gaming pc dosent sound realistic, that would mean building an entirely new rig every 2 years when I know pc gamers who only need to upgrade they're GPU every once in a while, but eventually yes a new rig is whats required.

If you build smart your rig can last a good amount of time, but $1500 dollars every 2 years? That just dosn't seem to add up unless your a PC gaming enthusiast.

-this reminds me of another guy saying it takes a $5000 dollar pc to run games like Bioshock or COD which is way way waaaayy off.

Holy crap.  And I totally messaged you, Bigger, about it without even reading the time signatures. 

Wowzers.  I feel awesome about that.
