Your still assuming that our consoles are, our only source for internet access and gaming. You are the one who is hung up in one system type.

Most of us have consoles and PCs. I happen to have a PS3, X360 and two PCs. If you count my two laptops, I have four PCs, so that makes three PCs I have which can run CoD4.

I can run the PC vers of CoD 4 as well as I can the 360. As do most console gamers. You keep assuming that consoles are only for games, which shows your total lack of understanding of the concept. Keep your one medium outlet. We will keep out multi-platform, 15$ premium, kiddy machines.

Let me know when you come out of the single medium stone age. I will let you in on some great console games and media services like xbox market place where I can rent movies and buy episodes of your favorite TV shows, in HD for a few dollars (new releases too) and watch them right away on my HDTV with out even leaving my couch. Ohh and I think netflixs is about to set up a direct rental service on the PS3.

Yep..you got us with your three high end PCs. Enjoy watching movies on them from your desk. Is that chair comfy? As comfy as your couch? Man I hope so, because you are cutting edge my friend. Yep cutting edge indeed.

Going to be picking it up by Christmas for the PC. The only games we buy for consoles are sports games and Lego Star Wars games. BUT then we have impressionable young minds in the house that don't need to experience fun in blowing someone away online right now. My oldest gets enough of that when I let him play RTW or MTW2 on my computer.

Terrible arguement for the XBOX. Buy an outdated gaming console to watch movies. Hah

PC's get the same services online and TONS more. Besides anyone that subscribe to those services network their pcs to watch movies on their television anyway.

You forgot to mention how LIVE charges you to play multiplayer games? Did you mention how they charge you for content pc gamers get for free? Did you mention you have to pay that GOLD subscription to host the more popular games online? Microgestapo at its best.

And lets not talk about their outrageous game prices.. $59.99 ! my god.

XBOX360 is a suckers buy in the end.

Heh I have a full grown home theater for watching movies with dedicated players. I'd never even dream of using a console for movies lol.

You pay for what you get. If xbox live was free the service would be piss poor, like that of the PS3. I don't mind paying the 50$ a year for a gold subscription. I would agree with your assessment of popping a DvD into my 360 to watch a movie. What I am referring to is the ability to rent a new movie on my xbox without having to go to blockbuster or the like.

And no, most pepole do not have their PCs and their TVs linked. So like I said before, most are having to watch the movies in their computer rooms. The point I was making, is that you are paying for is the ability to have very little hassle with renting a movie.

Riply seems to think he is cutting edge. What he hasn't figured out is his extra time and effort is time wasted. He is knocking a system where his only argument for not owning one is a 15$ price boost. However, he has no problem dropping 700-800$ dollars or more, per PC, every two years to upgrade his cutting edge PCs. Or the fact that he has no problem spending the money on his "full grown" entertainment system. Basically, what I am saying is..cough..cough..bull****..cough. If you got money like that to literally throw away..15$ is nothing. Hell we pay 15$ a month here. He needs to find a better argument.

Who cares of a LIVE yearly subscription of $30 (to play ALL games) when we all pay $15 MONTHLY to play a single PC game.

Hey Wolfala, PMD stands for Pontiac Motor Division ... which is writen on my rally 2 rims. That's old school papa

A gaming box is a piss-poor compromise for a home theater or audio reproduction. It's a piss-poor compromise for high-end gaming. This from any other except money standpoint.

A dedicated dvd (hd or not) system with projectors, 7.1 audio, proper seats etc. beats some silly noisy gaming box in the tv corner any time. Sure it costs more, but one is proper the other is not.

To cut it short, it's a compromise for people who have to get a few games for kids but can't afford a proper computer to run them on.

I'd hate to pay premium in order to have to switch a box to the tv and use some silly-ass gamepads to play. Never could understand how people could do it, never will.
