Pros And Cons Of Pc Gaming
Price:
While it is possible to get a PC at about the same cost of a console, it would be such a stripped down version that it wouldn't be able to play the latest games. Dollar for dollar, consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, PS3 and Xbox360 still offer the greater bang for buck in terms of gaming power.
Upgradability:
The most you can do to upgrade your console is to replace the harddrive and purchase new controllers. With a PC, the skies the limit. If you are not satisfied with the graphics or sound, simply change the video or add in a new sound card. If you want faster speed, you can upgrade the CPU and motherboard.
Versatility:
While consoles today can be used as media centres or to surf the internet, PCs still offer a lot more versatility in terms of the number of applications that can be installed.
Range of games:
The PC still has the advantage in this area, especially in the area of massively multiplayer online games and multiplayer browser games which are not available on a console.
