Personally Hard Drive space hasn't really been an issue since I got a 60GB HD (it takes a few games and a lot of mp3s to fill that), but eventually I suppose you'd need a new one. Especially if it failed on you (ouchies)

And PC is not used by one person but by the whole family (That is if you are like me and have one PC).

I was going to say "but who has more than one Console of the same type", and then I considered conducting an experiment in which I try and get my family to play games on the PC with me, all hunched round the same keyboard and desk. So yes, whilst this isn't a problem I particuarly have (my mum recognised the fact that I'm always on the PC - which is pratically my PC anyway - and got her own. Of course, this is probably the stupidest and most expensive thing she could do ^_^), Consoles get to chalk up an extra point for "multi-userness".

And PC games have bugs and sudden crashes and viruses..... and the installation and everything... Its a hassle for a guy like me alteast. For Consoles, just put the disk in and you are ready to go.

after a week of running my PC on its side because it sounded like the CPU was about to cook itself, I agree with you. more than I should have to. ... until I get the infamous PS2 disk-read failure... (Electronics will be Electronics after all...)

In the past years PC was much much better as you could play Online, but now it can be done on Consoles too, and Console Graphics are getting better and better.

even so, Online has yet to really take off on the Consoles (and the broadband only policy sticks a big middle finger up to most of Europe at least), even if it really should do. So yes, whilst the attraction of Online PC games is somewhat less than it was, there are a lot more of them and many more people playing them (also, is it possible for Leagues, Clans and Matches to be organised for games like Unreal Championship?).
Also, Console vs PC graphics have forever been playing a game of catch with each other (even in 1991, Sonic had better graphics than a PC game like Monkey Island, for example), with both sides progressing. Everytime a new Console is released, it has better than PC graphics, but 3 years down the line, the PC has the better graphics: until a new console is released. At the moment, the PC is ahead somewhat...

And Oh yeah, I cant carry my PC around to places (Unless if I have a NoteBook = $$$), but my console yeah I can.

"don'ta carry your PC! it too heavy!" as my Italian Teacher once said in an IT lesson... no, but seriously Makg... if I can carry my PC around often, you can too! ... just umm, find a good reason to (like LAN parties, or use it as an alternative to going to the Gym?)

so umm... my point? (I better shut up before it sounds like i'm on some kind of crusade ^_^) - just remember that I like consoles as much as my PC, I wish people wouldn't be so scared of the PC, (even if PC games players are a little scary)
