[removed] Next, PC upgrades are not getting notably cheaper, i recently got a new computer and was going to keep the graphics card in my old one up to date, but i didnt have 2-3 hundred dollars to buy a decent card with. Also, nobody forces you to buy anything, whether its a shiny new console, or a Gig of DDR2 RAM, and as far as im concerned, ive spent way more on PC's than on consoles. I got a 52 inch HDTV for $999, and the 360 with games and a controller for around $550. That equals about $1600. Take that $1600 and see how far it gets you with a top of the line computer. I just did, i got this sweet Pavillion for $1550. Anyways, an Xbox 360 is not the only reason i got an HDTV, its the way the market is going with media, and soon you will all own one because their prices are falling. Oh yea, in a year or possibly even less when the graphics card in this computer is just not enough to run the newest game on high settings <oblivion maybe> i will be shelling out $300 for another sweet card, and then hoping i can install it right the first time. Whereas in a year or so my 360 will be running great looking games at the same high graphics level with, guess what, no new graphics card! So console bash all you want, but PC component parts are still as expensive as they always were and still need to be replaced every so often if one wants to avoid buying another PC, and you dont need to upgrade consoles. What a concept!

QUOTE PC upgrades are not getting notably cheaper You definetly aren't old enough to remember the 486, I would think. Just be advised that there is a general downward trend with computer components, and a completely linear trend with consoles. This is due to the way that the market around each of them is organized. Since your post contained only one paragraph, I'll just assume that was the only point you made.
