why are da console cost so much is tuh by. Is too much muney.
Seriously though, everyone complaining about the costs of PCs sound like this. If you build your own computer and know how to be a smart shopper you can get a very good gaming rig for not all that much more than a console. And if you really want to compare prices, compare function/price. "b-b-but my xbone can do so much" |

I pay people to build computers / will not be playing legion. Do not understand your elitist attitude, did a smug update happen last time you jerked into a USB?

>y console cost so much >if you're smart you can get a PC for little more than the price of a console >y console cost so much?
That didn't make sense to me.
And even if you're suggesting that PC is the better option, it's completely up to the buyer. A lot of people like consoles because they're tailored made for console players(easy user interface, specifically built for playing games, the set up is arguably more comfortable at less of a price, etc). Others like consoles because of their exclusive content(usually first party games).
PCs offer a lot and are pretty customizable, and can have a higher performance than consoles when it comes to running games. There's also a lot of non-regulated games out there(hacks, roms, indie, etc).
Neither of the two are bad, they just differ enough that gamers can prefer one or the other.

So let's get this strait ... All we have to do is trawl the net for a few hours (for each part) then assemble said parts (assuming we all know how to build a pc from scrach) install the software and we're good to go(until the next time we need to update the hard wear) all this for not much more than just going to the shops and buying a ps4. Yea a ******* bargain .

PC's cost more than a ps4 here in south africa.
a decent gaming pc will cost R8000 - R10 000 which is about $800 - $1000 whereas a ps4 would cost me R6000 thats about $600
so for me the ps4 is more attractive than getting a PC.

Yea a ******* bargain . First off, I know that not everybody needs or wants a gaming rig or even a desktop, I know that for some a laptop or even a tablet can meet your needs just fine.
Now that's out the way, down to business.
Yes, finding the absolute best price for various components can take a while, hell even figuring out what parts to get can take a fair chunk of time for a first timer (or even a grizzled vet, although that's half the fun in many cases) - that said, you will generally get more for your cash, as well as ending up with a machine that better suits your needs than an off the shelf one.
Secondly, while the actual building bit can seem daunting, it really doesn't take much time or technical know how - and there are many excellent guides and communities out there that can help out first timers.
So yeah, building your own machine is definitely not for everyone, but nor is it a time consuming or difficult as you made out.
EDIT: As pointed out in the above post, the cost of building a machine can increase a lot depending on where you live - a factor I admit I didn't take into account. |

The difference...the very top of the line PS4 barely costs more than a weak gaming PC.
So, more comfortable gaming, and good graphics.
vs
Sitting at a desk with crappy graphics.
For basically the same cost. |

Nope, you can pretty much match a PS4 for not a lot more - and it'll do you better in the long run, as a $150 or so every two or three years will keep your machine in the mid tier while the PS4 will drop off pretty quick.
Plus you can still game on a PC using a controller while sitting in a nice cushiony chair, I don't know why people are so insistent that you can't.

I said the type of PC you can get for the cost of a PS4 has bad graphics when playing games.
You would have to run Legion on lowest graphics, so it doesn't lag out.
To your second point... seriously...? You're telling me it's comfortable to lay back on your couch with a KB/M and try to balance it while playing a game. |

Warning: analogy incoming.
When I was a kid, I always dreamed of building a car from the frame up. Where I grew up guys are either jocks, gearheads, or nobody lol. Being the nerd I am, I envisioned having a sweet car to show off and ride all over town. My uncle is a car enthusiast and mechanic, when he was in his 40s he restored an old stingray and it cost him a fortune, he sold the car for less than he spent building it later on, and then used the money to buy a fully restored chevelle ss. When I told him as a teen I wanted to do what he did he told me, " Man unless you're in it for the thrill of building the car, the scrapes bruises mileage shipping parts and cursing, just buy one for way less. Most people just want to see the bad ass car"
Let that sink in a bit.

Wow, first no, it won't have terrible graphics. Second you do know that PCs can run with controllers too right?
Lol.

It'll drop off comparatively - in a couple of years time the PS4 be a lot worse value for money (purely from a performance standpoint).
And it's not my fault you don't know how to look after your PC. |

My god, look at why I'm saying, it's very simple.
To make a PC for the price of a PS4 you will have to run Legion on the lowest graphics settings, because if you don't it will make you lag out.
Try to run Arma 2 on a cheap build-your-own PC, I guarantee you will be lagging. |

This is why I love the console dearly.
With my PS3 I can just play, not needing to "look after it."
I mean seriously, I am a casual gamer, why would I want to constantly upgrade my gaming system just so I can continue to play the games I enjoy? |

Building a PC is cheaper and has a much better price/performance ratio than just buying a PC. My first PC took me less than 2 hours from unpackaging to having my OS installed. There are literally 10 minute videos that show you how to build one. If you're really that lazy then by all means keep console gaming. |
