Default Which format do you intend to game on?

With the next gen consoles being talked about, it will be interesting to see which format actually wins the most users.

I'm a big fan of PC games - I just like them better! The xbox 360 does look very good fun indeed, and I'll give one a go

Red face I'm the one voted none ...

I like board games ... when you get fed-up just throw it in the air, and run. (if I could)

Hey, I play Solitaire, does that count.

That one tickled me....

I still intend to game on my Pc more seriously...My Xbox I like for general games I can't play on the Pc, but when all is said and done its the Pc that keeps me coming back for more...

Consoles are more about the younger less experienced Gaming Generation, Pc's are still for the more Hardcore and experienced Gamer...

And its not all about size and Portability either with Consoles having the edge in that department, just look at all the Lan Partys popping up all over the place...If the games are good people will pack there Pc's up and travel miles to get to an event...One of my friends regularly travels to events and he says he loves the camraderie amongst the other fellow Gamers, and everyone gets the most fantastic kick out of looking over everyone elses Machine...

You don't get that with Consoles....

yep pc gaming will always be better i reckon... eventually the pc will take over the new consoles anyways... they always do ! in ways consoles are more fun... but i prefer to be playing online with strangers more of a challenge and like you said crazy legs you cant compare consoles ... yet you have benchmarks for pc's and you'll always get a kick when you get a good one ... il just get all three ... ps3 xbox 360 and pc! .. pc first ofcourse

I'm not gonna beat around to bush, PC games will always be more advanced than console games, PC's are easily upgradable in ways consoles could only dream of. Of course you will be amazed with the next gen consoles for the 1st 2-3 months, but then a new PC title will come out and wipe the floor with anything consoles have to offer.

I will probably get all the next gen consoles just to try them out for abit, but i know i will come back to PC gaming straight the way. My favourite genre is FPS (first person shooters), console controll pads dont do FPS's any justice! I'll stick with me mouse and keyboard any day of the week,month or year.

The only time my wife ever beats me at anything is when we look at our video cards ... Radeon X700 vs Radeon 9550.

Thankfully, Quake 3 Arena has been our main game for years, as it's easy on the graphics card watching her body parts splatter all over the place.

The thing I don't like about pc gaming ... always chasing the graphics.

PS2 is the alternative. Gran Turismo 4.

thats the only thing i have against the pc... if you get a top end system... it will be outdated in a few weeks/months... and atleast with a console you know the games will work with a pc you wil always have to check .. but the pc is much better... and you can use it for otther stuff other than games

I still play my old MegaDrive, does that count?

I am dying for the total war series to arrive so I can give it a go though, and Sim City 4, I've been waiting to play that for years...
Oh and I really want to give Half Life a shot, never played it all those years ago.
Planetside (I think) is one that I've been told to have a go at too.

That is when I get my DVD drive problem sorted... hint hint

Take care
Eric
