Again not entirely true. Whilst the cost of consoles (Xbox360) has come down considerably you still need an investment of at least £300.00 for a half decent size LCD to go with it. The cost of entry for PC gaming is also at an all time low. Contrary to popular misinformation, you don't actually need to upgrade every single time nor do you need to upgrade every single component to enjoy a high quality gaming experience. My wifes uncle has been playing COD 4 quite merrily on his AthlonXP 3700 with an 9800GT. Graphic wise it will stand upto the visuals of the X360. It's only the very high(over) speced games such as Crysis that claim to need some uber system to play it on and even then thats more for the fan boys.

As I said previously, i'm not overly fussed as I should have all 3 platforms by next week. It's all about the personal experience that makes it fun. Is XBL & PSN Good - Damn straight it is. Is the PC as bad as it's made out to be, Absolutley not.
