When I read your post, it made me think of the movie hackers, where he could watch any tv show from his T.v - with the robotic arms putting in tapes into the vcr's and what not.

People have been saying that consoles are dying for as long as I can remember and they've always been wrong.

Until someone comes up with a PC that can play any game released in a ~3 year window without a component upgrade, then the console is here to stay.

I can't play console games anymore because my hands are at the whim of the evil MS, but when I did play I favored the 360.

PS3 rules , its the best gaming console in the world by a mile..Alot of kids claim xbox is best but they only say that coz they cant afford a PS3 and are stuck with that xbox360 which leaves you with pains in your wrists the joypads are that heavy....
 
Well, I'm not a kid by any stretch though many days I wish I were. Knockin on 45! LOL I already have a Blu-Ray so I went with the X-BOX Elite.

A highend system from 3 years ago can play todays games... 8800gtx is 3 years old and can still max out most games today.

Yeah, admittedly I've been out of the high end PC gaming world for a long time, so I'm a bit out of the loop. :xmasnut:

I started out as a PC gamer back when computers had cassette tape decks. After 2003 or so I switched mainly to consoles since they just worked - no tinkering with drivers, etc - and playing the game was more important to me than the top end performance you can get out of a PC. Friends of mine are devoted PC gamers, and I'll admit the top end shit is pretty cool, but I'm just not that into it.

Of course as consoles basically become computers themselves they've gotten more buggy and give just as many headaches. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
