yes ill switch to console gaming, where there is limited competition in games, shitty controllers to rely on, shittier utilization of game engines AND NO LEANING.
I am stuck using shitty things like xbox live to play, and have less control over tweaking my config for making people show up easier or just more to my liking.
Modding the game on consoles is limited extremely and are usually shitty at best.
Ide be stuck using my XBOX or buying a ps3. Would have to play on my tv which i dont like to do for FPS. Also being stuck with limited patching and paying for new maps.

Thats all purely developer choice. If the developers wanted to, they could easily give you tweaking upon a console game. Same for mods, it only requires a build in mod section within the game itself and a harddisk to store these mods upon. and maybe an open downloadable marketplace, instead of a microsoft controlled one.

Right now, of you get an X360, you have access to 95% of the titles available. ;)

ZOMG, you can't use a wallhack, consoles must suck...
Define "shitty controllers" and "shittier utilization of game engines", please. Especially in the case of GTA4, for example ;) "limited competition" is also interesting...

Pure bullshit.... and I am not even counting all the games in the entire history of computer gaming. Too many games just can't be made for console, those who are are shittier, also don't forget the mods (which I play more then vanilla, all my current games that I play frequently are modded). Look at Oblivion and Fallout, Oblivion has tons of mods coming out and fallout makes 5 new ones every day. FPS for consoles? What a joke, we see the results of that in "context movement, shooting and shitting" like Gears of war and all it's clones where one button has 20 different functions depending on your position, things around you, weather, mood of your console and the fortune cookie you ate a week ago. Also other good games like Ghost Recon went crap after adopting to a console and now the latest one is another "use context button to lean against walls and use blind fire because console gamers can't aim for shit"
Basically every console title ripped of an original pc game is a crappy piece of shit that is not worth mentioning, because playing Xbox version of "Operation flashpoint" would be just as crappy as playing "Devil may cry" on a pc with a keyboard.

um lets see basic things like LEAN, a function that is in call of duty 4 for the PC you know where its not? THE CONSOLE.
I personally hate playing games without lean which is why i hate counterstrike. I dont hack, i enjoy to play competetively cevolved.com caleague.com
and for the lesser skilled players teamwarfareleague.c om
point is i can pay and compete against other players for money or play for free and face other teams for genuine competition.
Through winning online events in caleague or cevo league you can get lan sponsors hardware sponsors server and ventrillo sponsors softdrink sponsors ect ect.
You basically get dick from playing on a console except an xbox live bill
