I am a PC gamer. I have a water cool completely custom case that I hand crafted from raw materials and PC DIY parts. The case is one of the smallest 3 120mm radiator cases that exists. I have a modest computer inside. The non-water cooling parts cost about $650 dollars and I upgrade the system about every 3 years and the video card about every 2 years.
I have been gaming all my life. I started with simple LCD portable games and we eventually got an Atari which I played the dickens out of. NES was too played until my fingers had blisters. I bought a PC in 1988 and have not looked back since (well except to play karaoke with my ex-wife). Games like Civilization, Battle of Britain, Ultima IV, Leisure Suit Larry, and Wing Commander took my heart.
Sytems I have owned:
Atari 2600
Atari 7200
Nintendo NES
X-Box
PC
Wii
I am also an avid technical scuba diver and have logged dives at 170' deep. I play paintball, softball, football, and all sorts of table tops games that include DnD and Axis and Allies. I am also in the process of writing my own table top RPG and have spent three years working on it. I have a woodworking shop and can make furniture, picture frames and the like.
I have a degree in Industrial Design. This makes me a designer of products, architectural way finding, POP displays, and user interfaces. I have also taught design at the college level.

While Sony would like to make you think their hardware is the bees-knees, there are some HUGE glaring flaws in it that make it barely capable of keeping up with a 360 in a lot of instances. Locked RAM and Bluray stream speeds being two of said choke points.
When developed for properly it is significantly more powerful than a 360, as attested by the fact that just about any PS3 exclusive from a Sony first or second party looks better than anything on 360.
This whole blog post is idiotic.
@ $500 (which is reasonable there are more expensive options) and @$10 more a game over 5 years and maybe only 30 games is +$300 + hardware failure costs and this assumes only one console and doesn't take in consideration the TV and not the xbox live $50 a year fee which adds up to $250 per person over 5 years and not also including Steam discounts, I got Borderlands and both LFD games for $111.50 while most console gamers paid $180.
