The thing I absolutely hate the most about console games is the crap-tastic resolution of a television screen. Everything looks blocky, blurry, or otherwise crappy. I'd much rather see my game on my .27 dot pitch 21-inch sony trinitron monitor than some ntsc tube. *Obviously you could get a HDTV set ... but I don't have the money for that.

Also, I like being able to download my games.... While some hackers out there have made it possible to download console games and burn them off to cdr/dvds, it just seems to be way more of a pain in the ass. I like being able to download, do the InstallShield dance, and have my game sitting right there on my desktop.

Thirdly, and finally... I like being able to hack my games. I like the option to add my own music to the radio in GTA3-VC. I like being able to run multiple game systems... from the crusty 'ol NES, to the GBA and PS1... I can do everything on the PC.

I've thought about buying a console for awhile, but the truth is, it will always be more satisfying to upgrade my PC... and as an added bonus, once I get my hardware able to play HL2, MS Word will take half as long to open.
