Phil doing what Don couldn’t

  • Also the used game market makes it so you can buy and sell your games when you are done with them. I switched to PC awhile ago. I don’t think it’s really cheaper. It cost about $1000 to build a PC that can compete with a $400 console.

      It depends on your use case. If you’re always buying the newest games it ends up being more expensive since the games cost the same at launch and a comparable PC will always cost more than a console. But if you have a big backlog of old games you still like to play, take advantage of pc sales (being a smart shopper, buy game keys from other storefronts, don’t need every need game you want at or near launch), like to mod, and need a computer that is powerful for other reasons already then there’s a reduction of cost with all of that plus additional benefits for continuing to play on PC as you upgrade.

      That PC is an investment. It will easily outlast at least three generations of $500 consoles, because it can be upgraded.
