[QUOTE="Grymar, post: 3426800, member: 41371"] I just have to put in my 2cp on the tangent here. First thing is that is sounds like you are someone who buys off of the shelf computers every 5-8 years. That's fine. Nothing wrong with that. But if you have the ability, doing part-by-part upgrades every so often makes for a much faster, cheaper, and more reliable (usually) computer. I am no longer in the hardware scene like I was years back, but I still buy a new cpu, video card, memory, hard drive...something every year. Even building from the ground up, I can and have build very respectable computers for under $500. Once you have that basic framework you can put $100 a year in to it to keep it up to speed without too much problem. It will never be cutting edge, but it should be able to run most games without any problem. Yeah, there is no comparison here. Knowing on a console that a game will just flat out work is a huge deal.
