My computer is nearly 3 years old except for the video card a 6600gt which is around $100 now and I play games at 1680x1050 running on a nearly 3 year old P4 2.8 with a 1 gig of ram.
I dont feel like spending another $460 on a console with 1 game.

I think some people are purposefully missing the point.
If you hooked your PC with a $200-250 video card up to a 50" HDTV and surround sound, set the resolution to 1280 x 720, and used medium textures/physics/draw distance/etc..., you would probably get the same experience. But, you would probably have a higher frame rate than 30 fps. Now, if you spent as much money on your video card as you did on the Xbox 360, you could push the settings to high and still have twice the fps of an Xbox 360.
Too bad 90% of PC games don't support HDTV resolutions, and even when you can hack them to work at that res they are usually stretched or the tops/bottoms cut off.

Well, as I called several months ago, the end of PC gaming has arrived. With these next generation systems, they have now made the PC obsolete to play games on. The PC game market may have a few MMORPG, but other than that its over. The only thing a PC is useful for now is Office work and maybe some TV. Of course the TV part will be obsolete once HD's come down in price.

Do you have anything other than a baselessly subjective and not to mention ludicrous opinion that even a mongloid miscreant would be ashamed to vocalize?

Are you nuts? EA's laziness aside (BF2), any PC game that a "hardcore" gamer would even be interested in surely supports HDTV resolutions AND HIGHER. I could write a list a mile long if I gave a crap.

i doubt any consoles can make a true FPS...
Have you seen Call of Duty? Combine that with the Xbox Live community, I would say the next gen of FPS has come out. Also, people who play FPS on Xbox or better than PC FPS gamers

I absolutely hate playing FPS's on consoles. No controller will ever compare to a mouse and keyboard. Add into that the fact that consoles lose a lot of support after 4 or so years and that they can't be upgraded, and PC gaming will never die.
Support after 4 years or so? How many times do you think you will need to upgrade your PC just to hope to get the same performance as the console? PC's cost thousands more just to play games. No upgrades needed if you use it for the reg office work, and have the consoles for games. Someone give a better argument than this, or that "as long as there are PC's..." Give an argument with technical and econimical advantages. You CAN'T!
The difference between a PC capable of playing modern games and any other PC does not exceed the cost of a console, you can buy a 7800GT for $300 which will play anything out more than reasonably at high settings, and if you choose to run at the same resolution as the 360, it offers obscenely fast performance because consoles are limited by the display. It does not take the same amount of processing power to play COD at 540x384 is it does at 1600x1200.
Then how come consoles look just as good(in this case better) than PC's and run at smooth framerates? No one is annoyed when a PC stutters? No one wants a consistent gaming experience? To keep that up in a PC, you need constant hardware upgrades. Not in a console, and a console looks just as good or better, ie Xbox 360.
