Worth getting a console?

    So I won some money @ poker and decided to get a better PC or to buy a console.
    What do you think? Most people say that PC gaming is dead (I strongly disagree) so I really don't know what to do next.

    None of my friends have consoles.

    i bought a ps3 and although its collecting dust, its good fun when you get into it.

    its getting me to turn the thing on, once i do that, thats me for months hooked on playing it then i realise that im not working alot and have to give myself a boot up the arse lol:D.

    PC is good but enjoy console gaming more, although die hard PC gamers will say otherwise and their is benefits to the PC.

    Oh yes it is most definitely worth getting a console. I would recommend the PS3 if you just want to plug a console in and play. An Xbox takes a bit of time to get going. However more expensive the PS3 will be more worth it in the long term.

    Have a gander at my 12 Games of Christmas list to see what games you should be at-least considering.

    It depends on what games you want. I got the PS3 because I wanted to continue playing the Metal Gear Solid, Ratchet & Clank, and Final Fantasy series, and other PS3 exclusives. Also, it being a blu-ray player was a plus, since I wanted one for the living room; that feature played a notable part in my selection, as well. As for what version of the PS3 I got, I settled for the $250 slim model.

    Go get a console, you can play on big screen TV, it's a total new experience compare to playing on PC.

    I agree on getting a console. I have and 360 and PS3. The 360 is collecting dust. That thing is SO loud compared to the PS3. I still buy a couple of games to play on the Xbox but PS3 is my main console.

    The problem is that I already have a gaming PC.
    Playing on the big screen is not a problem. I buy a DVI to HDMI cable and ready.

    I would only consider the XBOX 360.

    I got an xbox 360 and I play live. It is dam fun no jokes. Takes quite a while to get bored. And when you get bored and stop playing it, you will come back and play it again and enjoy the same fun :)

    Definately worth an xbox 360 live. Without live = no fun
