Depends on your prefferences really, I like my PC beacause I can go online, and play games online, and I don't like most of the games that are made for consoles...

PC. Much more power and versatility. Easily adjustable parameters. Modding. Software emulation of multiple old systems.

Which console offers all that in one package?
Well, at least with the xbox it´s possible to emulate a load of old system. Even Amiga can be emulated...

And what I like best? It depends mainly on the point of view and even on day, week, month, year, season...

I love both somehow. My notebook and my bunch of consoles...

Consoles, definitely. Love the simplicity. NES, Snes, they're all great. I prefer simplicity in my games (Why would say, for example, strafing or wiping ones face have to be a hassle? It's easily done in real life, so why shouldnt it be simple in a video game? I don't want to have to input a combination of keys, I just want to get it done.), so Nintendo is my way to go. Love the fact that with consoles (Nintendo, specifically) it's easy for alot of people to pick up and play, which means friends or party goers can have a fun time with it. Try explaining to a newbie how to play Nethack or ZZT compared to say, Duck Hunt.

I always prefered PC. There is simply too much to do on a computer that a console just can't do or even dream about. And I really hate the console marketing, just like we really needed the new generation of console which got out this year at a degeneratly stupid price.

Why buy a console at 500-600+$ when you can buy a top of the line PC for only 400$ more?

Why buy either when you can pick up an NES for 20$ or less?
