In order of importance....

1.  I can't actually use a console at home.  PC = in my study room.  TV = in the main lounge room, kitchen, living room, and parents bedroom.  Good luck with any of these locations when parents are super anti-gaming.

2.  Consoles can't pirate.  Lol, important for a poor uni student like me.

3.  For a light gamer like me, consoles = not worth the investment.  PC takes pretty much no invest because even if I don't game, I need a PC anyway.  Not going to spend $1000 on a PS3 to only play through like 2 games a year.
4.  I always get my donkey handed to me when I play console games with anyone.  I know this isn't the consoles fault... but still, it doesn't help me like it.  The reasons are that I'm generally unfamiliar with both the controller and the game.

that the thing with you Assassinator, you always make to many valid points.

Hence for you, consoles are not worth it.


I fit under many of those points too. I don't have lots of money so i don't own a ps3 or xbox. Even if i was to have one it probably wouldn't be worth it as i would not get any time one it, and that's due to point 1 that you made.

At least with my psp, being small and discrete, i can get away with as much gaming as i like because it dosnt draw attention and im not restricted as to when and where i can use it.

Owning just a psp has made me appreciate what the smaller consoles can achieve, sure ps3 and xbox have bigger games with fancier graphics, but you can't write off the portable consoles. They have their brilliant game moments that shows they can compete with the bigger consoles.
