Most of you with a console wil generally use their console as a games unit. but most will still use their pc aswell.
The goods to a pc! Do you agree or disagree with them
Advantages-Pc`s offer better gameplay with stratergy games.
Game play can generally be more effective.
Certain games or only available on pc such as flight simulater.
Games are often cheaper.
Multiplayer is avaiable through the internet ( its often on consoles but pc`s offer it much better)
Disadvantages-Pc games often use the latest graphics and the best graphics so upgrading is needed from time to time.
GAMes are easily copied losing the gaming companies money.
Game play can be slower as games cant match your exact pc specification.
Console- Advantages- consoles offer more games or certain games that only come out on one console i.e mario.
Ok,i cant figure out what else to put
Pretty lame topic this but im sure so one else can finish it off.

you do have a point Smashed consoles always keep the same specs but PC's are always upgraded to handle the lateist games, also PC games can have exstended replay value with extra skins, charactors, maps and mods that can be down loaded off the internet, PC games are cheaper which adds even more value. Consoles are better for multiplay with other mates if you don't have a LAN and thay don't need to be installed or uninstalled.

You winning a GAD with this is about as likely as the next door neighbour's dog coming up to my room unaided and completing Projec Gotham Racing for me....
