more like 600 for a high-end PC without peripherals and you are set for 2 years.

If you can't make 600 dollars in 2 years, that's 1.2 dollars per day, you need to think long and hard about your life.

Its not so much the attainability as the price itself. 300 dollars a year. Xbox's have been 300 dollars for how many years now? I think most people would rather save money than have the up-to-date graphics.

I can see that point, but I've personally saved a lot of money on the abundant amount of bundles and sales for PC games on Digital Distribution sites. I rarely see console games drop to prices nearly as low as PC titles unless they do absolutely horribly and the retailers just want to get them sold asap.

I live in Norway, and a new PS3 game will often run me 500-600 NOK, whilst a new PC game via Steam generally costs me no more than 350 NOK, barring certain titles that cost 450 NOK. During the weekend and midweek sales for slighlty older titles, I've bought games for as little as 20 NOK. And that's not counting the ability to get CD Keys for new games extremely cheaply by purchacing them via trusted distributors and entering said key into your service client.

But hey, to each their own imo.

Ah yes, I've heard of some of the digital distribution deals, quite good from what I've been told. There it does come down to personal need/preference though. Example: Can you get a deal like that during a game's release week? I don't buy a lot of games, but when I do(yay beer commercial), its during release week, if its not a preorder. At that point, unless digital distributors make great deals even for that (free copy of BF3 comes to mind), the advantages are small for me.

Then yeah, the advantages would be small for you. Steam will sometimes have a -10% discount on a new release preceding its release, I think, but the real deals are post release. Just looking at Steam right now, I can snag Deus Ex: HR for 17 Euros, a 66% discount from its normal price.

But yeah, if you mostly only purchace new releases, the benefits won't be that great. I like to use the sales to pick up games that I've been curious about, but didn't want to gamble the full retail pricetag on. It's paid off so far, I've gotten lots of great titles, one of my favorites Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines. A buggy, yet very good game.

Tratiorus words. Such vileness in suggesting a gamer have maturity. We have an image to uphold! And I submit to you that you do not uphold it! On the basis that you are insightful, mature and quite possibly female.

None of these things are characteristics of a gamer!

I find your pony version of Lightning more engaging, actually.

 

Do you know how badly  I want  Pony Lightning  to be a plushie, so I can put  that on my desk...  

 

And that sirs, is why you both win. It's amazing. I'd imagine people would be throwing verbal torches and pitchforks at my avvy, being both MLP and FF (XIII no less) but I've been recieving nothing but praise. >

No doubt PCs are more powerful (I play BF3 on one because of it) but that doesn't mean that consoles are without usefulness. I can't play Halo (besides 1 and 2) on a PC and I wanted to play Mass Effect on day one not 18 months later.

That's the point of this topic, people need to grow up and stop using sh*itty console hardware so the games don't constantly get degraded.

I know there is a branch of BW in Ireland, but they just do tech support for TOR and stuff I think. But yeah, BSN could benefit from some European mods.

Hell, I've never liked the FF series, and only sort of watch MLP in passing, and even I think your avatar is awesomeness incarnate!

Stop feeding the troll, people. He clearly enjoys this sort of thing.

What's funny about this topic is that the original Mass Effect was an Xbox 360 exclusive. Let's not let facts get in the way of a good arguement though.

What is also funny about this topic is that it has nothing to do with Mass Effect

- most of which can be fufilled by your smart phone now.

To be frank. High powered PCs really are only used for gaming and production now, and high-powered rigs are typically overkill for what's out there.

Graphics just aren't a strong enough selling point to get most people off the couch though. I'd like to build a gaming computer, but it'd honestly only be for PC only games, the only ones of which I'm (sadly) missing are Dawn of War and Starcraft 2. An xbox and a laptop for the on the go, day to day business suffice for me.

I can kind of even see where the OP is coming from, but consoles come in generations for a reason. Sooner or later (in our case it looks like sooner), a new generation of consoles rolls out. Then its all even again for at least a couple of years.

So you didn't see horrible textures, even on characters you use, 2D sprite people, no hair physics, horrible water, poor lighting, no destructability etc.etc.??

FFXIII  - certainly not a perfect game but its more flak then it deserves... some of that I believe is mostly back lash against JRPGS in general. 

Man I wish I had a Ligthing Deal with Avater... oh yes.
