A Console is made to do a handful of things well, while a PC is made to do many many things as well as it's configuration will allow it to.
Can't think of anything else to say really.

No, you have a great point and you should run with it. PCs have a big advantage over consoles in terms of graphics, calculations, objects on screen, anything a game can throw at the hardware... that is if you have the proper hardware. Will a $400 computer play a game as well as a $400 console? I don't think so, but that point is moot. PCs have the superiority in hardware, yes... but since when did having great hardware really necessarily mean you could to play great games?

And I'm not talking about movies or videos... some games on the 360 (even PC) have to come in multiple discs while the PS3 only needs one.... it's less hassle in general.

you have to admit though (well, you probably won't - but that's really more a problem with you) that it is kinda stupid to come with a xbox360 counter if the poster was sweet-taunting criticizing being bound to one specific (bottleneck) system as used in every console. with console being the word of interest (thus includes the xbox).
i believe it's pretty much relevant - after all you are whining about the shitty PSN being down. i really enjoy imagining the "funny pictures" of PC players happily playing while the PS3 players are sitting in the dark :D

Bottleneck systems? True, we have one hardware for 5+ years... We have to deal with... oh wait, we DON'T have to deal with upgrading drivers, worrying about viruses, upgrading hardware, worrying about harddrive space, running defrags, installing games, updating games, etc etc. All I have to do for 5 years is pay for a $400 system... and buy any game I want... pop it into console and I'm ready to play a game. Inferior? I don't think so or at least not at my standards... streamlined? Definitely more than a PC.

Oh, you have to install games still? I just pop in a disc and my console eats it like "nom-nom-nom" and plays my game. That's the thing with consoles, I can own the entire library of a console and never have to worry about harddrive space. True, some games require an install, but that's to improve load times or cache files on the internal harddrive. I wouldn't have to worry about filling 180 GBs of space with save files and the one and every third game that requires an install of no more than 1 Gig.

metal gear solid 4 has to install like 4 times in the story, each time is like a 15 minute install, and each install is 4gbs. dont get me wrong, i like my ps3 and i dont want an xbox360 either but its still funny XD
oh and pc is bottlenecked by stuff like directx, the pixel pushing power of modern day graphics cards is so far ahead of consoles. I have a beast pc myself but I dont even use it anymore to play games ; ;
and for your psn concerns...

Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security.

Consoles just do everything its meant to in a single box. You can't really do much else with it afterwards. You just kinda chuck it out.
Sounds like a mac.

5 days down, lots of information on www.vg247.com PS3 users don't deserve this. Sony fucking deserves it.

SP and WHAT? Your meaning to tell me you throw out your consoles when a new one comes out? That's a perfectly good console and you throw it out? I still have my SNES and Sega Genesis... I will never throw away my old consoles!
