PC.
Massive variety of games, from commercial games to homebrew games. Mods are very important as well as they can make a great game even better. Mouse and keyboard is infinitely easier to use than a joypad (except for football games..). Being able to upgrade hardware to get the best graphics is also very nice.
In fact, the only thing that has tempted me to buy a console is the lack of any decent wrestling games on the PC.
That's right I forgot about mods but now that consoles have gone internet, they have mods too they just have to be "approved".Quote:

No question- PC gamer- I've never even owned a console before. besides, I can't stand the console controler. besides, while a computer is more money, it offers so much more outside of games that I can't justify the purchase of a console. oh ya, and I don't own a tv to hook the console up to anyways.

Tell me about it.....but i have 2GB dammit.:lol:Quote:

Of course, the counter-argument I guess, is that for a game like Oblivion for the PC you need to spend a fucking fortune and a fair bit of tweaking to have it running at its graphical best :lol:
True dat but free is free. I didn't know 360's mods cost money. I mean XB Live already costs money.:dry:Quote:

If I get a modded 360, I wonder is there a way for me to get the mods for free as well (internet) for a game such as Oblivion (for 360 of course).
I have a modded Xbox and want to get the mods for Splinter Cell (extra missions) but haven't looked into it yet.
To your last, I try to get a hook-up on graphics cards but they don't come by often. Memory doesn't cost much and I can usually find a legal good deal...often.
PC all the way
