A DVD player sets you back like $20 at Wal-Mart, which is less than it'll cost you to buy the crap that's required in order to use the console as a media device. And if you want to talk about shit that's included with the games? And you're wanting to do this as console versus PC? Son, I'm not quite sure if you're aware of what you're stepping in.
You realize that PCs have better internet browsers and can use the same TV as a monitor, right? You're also aware that HDMI cables or what-have-you are required to display something at a certain resolution, right? You can't use A/V cables to get HD picture quality, dude, whether it's a console or not.
Most PC games also have user-made mods which are free content for a game, some of it quite immense. You don't get that with consoles.
LOL, what? Are you just trolling now?
Let's see. Your avatar is a douchebag rageface image. You're using "u" instead of "you" even though it saves no keystrokes and you're under no time pressure. Ninety percent of what you've said so far is conjecture or just outright false, and now you're stating bad opinion as fact and then pre-emptively calling anyone who disagrees with your opinion a "hater."
Get outta here, man, unless you plan on improving the quality of your posts.

That's from 2009, bud. You could build the PC listed for probably $300-$400, assuming we're including the rest of the rig (hard drive, motherboard, etc.)
Fine, you can buy a console for $200-$300 now, but you're still getting a much better deal with a PC. I find it funny you're bashing PC gamers when, if you're supposed to be representing a console gamer, you're coming off as nothing but a pathetic troll.
By the way, are you posting this on a console or are you using a PC to do it?
