It was interesting to read your opinions on PCs vs. consoles, but as someone who's been using computers for the last fifteen or so years, and who owns two consoles in addition to a PC, I must say that you're off base regarding consoles. All you have to do is plug the console into your TV and the wall socket, plug your controllers and memory backups in, put in the game CD or cartridge, and press the on switches on both the TV and the console. You have to have the latest drivers for some games, make sure said drivers work with each other, make sure the game works with said drivers, and then pray that something unforseen doesn't muck up the works. Oh, you have to make sure your brand spankin' new 3D accelerator works with your monitor. Then we get to the matter of system requirements.
Consoles are no problem.
After all, as long as you make sure the game is for the console in question, it'll work. PCs, again, are a different story. There's the obvious memory requirements, of course. Add even more memory if you want to go multiplayer. You also have to be prepared to fork over some major HD space these days.
