well the topic is obvious. What do you think is best for playing video games?

I am undecided in this topic. They both have their ups and downs.

what do you guys think?

I like PC Gaming for games like WoW, but I prefer console gaming for FPS like Halo, so I prefer console gaming :)

I prefer playing PC games. I really liked FFVII back in the day, but other than that, there really haven't been any console games that have stuck with me (except, of course, the classics like Mario).

So if I were to play games they would be PC games, but if I were to make games, I'd rather make console games.

I'm sorry but the PC just dominates consoles when it comes to gaming. Keyboard and mouse FTW!

PC is good for games. PC gets all the games. Theirs lots of competition in console and not many games.

PC is the best way to online play. And online play makes it way better. I know console can go online but its limited.
Also let's face it the best game ever made are for computer.
But still console are really fun to solo a lots of games. I have a wii and I really enjoy it but still I cant get away from my PC.

This is the first generation of consoles that have specs anywhere near modern PCs.

Let's see if they can actually pull off real-time graphics that are this good: http://xbox360media.ign.com/xbox360/imag...

I highly prefer the PC.
Not only do I find the games more enjoyable, I love how customizable everything is. If I don't like a certain graphical effect in the game, I just turn it off; if I want my character to run faster, I just modify a few things; if I want to play custom content (mods), then I am free to do so; et cetera.

Also, mouse and keyboard. :D

I must agree that PC is the best option for games. The xbox360 got quite a good network for online play but I do often experience huge wait times between the matchmaking games in Halo3.

Now what really draws me to the PCgames is that you are able to customize about everything. Make your own ways to play and enjoy yourself. What would WC3 be without costume maps?
I won't deny that you get loadingtimes on the PC but you are always able to tab into firefox and pull up the latest podcast.
