[multipage= Myths]

Why Are Gaming Computers So Expensive?
The price of a gaming computer as as many of you think would be well up over $1000 as most people think of Alienware desktops and laptops which are insanely expensive. Most people's only cost around $500-$700 most people spend around $500 on a good laptop once every couple of years just like us PC gamer's usually get a new upgrade every 2 or 3 years and sell our old rigs or we upgrade them slowly.

Only Nerds Play Them?
Actually This is also 100% false since the realease of Day-Z and Minecraft many "normal" people have been buying Gaming PCs

Are the keyboards are confusing and hard to learn?
At first yes but the first time you picked up a xbox or ps3 controller was it difficult? yes. You learn slowly and you can use a gaming controller with a gaming pc but you will lose to the fast reflexes of someone using a mouse and keyboard

[multipage= Price]
Actually Price isn't as bad as many people think and if you buy alot of xbox games once a week or once every 2 weeks you will love steams sales and just overall lower prices sometimes on sales you get brand new games that just came out for $30 and you just hit download. Also after a year or two you can sell your pc for alot more then it would have cost you to build which is preferred to keep prices down. A $700 pc build today will be able to sell for $700 next year and a $500 pc built now can be sold now for $700 so if you don't like your gaming pc you can just sell it and make some money which is a good way to talk your parents into helping you buy it or buy it for you.

[multipage= Why Is It Better Then Console]
1. Better Graphics if you argue with this one your plain and simple stupid
2. Wider Range of popular games to find people playing. I mean on console everyone plays sports games and shooters
3. Freely Use Mods
4. Larger Dedicated Servers
5. More Tactical Players In Shooters
6. Older more Mature community

true also i tryed to make it short and sweet, god forbid children read

We talk about this stuff everyday in the tech school I go to, we have the hardcore console guys like me in the class then we have hardcore pc players in the class theres a large variety but yea PC gaming is cool just don't have the time or money to get or build a PC.

For next gen Im thinking from moving from PS3 to PC.

I've tried PC gaming at my cousin's house once. It was too weird because I've been a console gamer since the beginning and controlling the same game but with a mouse is just awkward (he didn't have an Xbox controller to connect to the PC).

Nice thread. I'm glad I made the move from console to PC however I still play on ps3 occasionally.

Pc gaming is amazing i love i can switch from gaming to youtube or site searching is very covenant and saving up for a pc is not hard i saved for a couple months then a couple months later upgraded the pc to what i wanted just comes down to money management which a lot of people don't seem to have these days Nice post Tok

patience and looking for good deals i know when you buy a high end pc on cyberpowerpc.com you can get a couple free games to play which is a good deal and many people don't realise $500 gaming pc is a great option and can easily max out games

I would definitely like to move to pc gaming, but money is the issue. You know poor college kid
