I just think it's funny that you linked to a PC exclusive game.
I see at least people agree that PC has superior hardware specs. Nobody even mentioned though that PC has a superior connection. I mean when was the last time internet got shut down? When was the last time a bunch of anon-ops managed to take down the internet? Speaking of hassles about viruses, what about the nice little hack from GeoHots that allows people to freely cheat in COD, unlike a computer virus, Sony really failed to counter that.

Optical drives = too old. Digital purchasing and streaming is the future. Besides it adds to that hassle of having scratched optical disks. I hope that in a few years we really abandon that archaic technology.

Lol, you cannot take down the internet... But to play games online, you need a server to host the games. Servers aren't free and neither is the connection you need is free (or cheap for that matter)... or if it's a server-less hosting game, you are limited to the host's connection. If it's a bad connection, you get disconnected.
It's funny how you don't mention PC's pitfalls.
And yes, I did mention a PC exclusive game because that was one of better PC exclusive title that was worth getting in the past year or so (next to Civ 5, but I don't fucking mess with those people... I know, I'm one of them... like a tweaker!) ::)

That's your job, my job is to bash 5 year old hardware and all it's flaws. In the end your console is without connection, my PC is and I am enjoying my games on servers that I don't host or pay for, on a broadband connection which is very cheap (really, a monthly fee for DSL is like 2 burgers in Burger King or a litre of Whiskey).
The only assholes that managed to fail as hard as Sony at connection on PC gaming are Ubisoft with their draconian "always stay online to play" DRM. During the release of AC their servers went down for several days. An epic fail was epic. Then again I don't even bother playing the crap that they release.

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?

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

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!

I believe you missed my sarcasm. Though I didn't really do anything to signify I was being sarcastic in the first place.

Wait, you still use DSL? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA... I feel so sorry for you man... I apologies for any wrong doings I have ever given you... HAhahahahahaha... oh wow, DSL? I thought I had a mediocre or bad connection compared to other people... hahahahahhahaAHAHHA ... Dude, way to be stuck in 2004... what are your speeds? 1.2 Mbps down and 170 Kbps up? hahahaha
By all means, bash 5 year old hardware... cause you know, at least I'm the smarter one and have the gaming system that a lot of developers makes games for (along with the Xbox 360)... no skin off my nose because I can deal with waiting until Sony deals with their own woes. Sooo...
