In Response To: Re: *Cough*PC*cough* (Revenant1988)


: Yes to part A, part B (cost) not so much in my case.

: I'm an IT guy so of course I've had my PC as the center of my entertainment
: area before, but things have changed in the last few years. If I watch a
: movie, play a game, watch TV or surf the web on my PC, its just MY
: experience, I can't really share that with others. Yes, I could purchase
: an even bigger monitor, and yes, I can play online with people but the PC
: is not exactly in a communal area. For me it never has been. It's been a
: private experience (with the exception of online play).

: Since consoles have been catching up, things have changed. I find myself
: playing and watching with roommates more, and even my girlfriend plays
: more now. They see me doing something and its "Hey I like that, can I
: watch too?" or "wow that game looks really fun, could I
: try?" "Hey, its 10am and you're drinking and playing Smash
: Brothers?..... Can I join?"

: I've never heard that on PC.

: I'm glad that the stereotype of what "gaming" used to be is going
: away, because people have been missing out. I'll gladly setup my next
: xbox, nintendo, and/or playstation as my media center. It's just getting
: easier and easier.

: Besides, the gap between the two platforms is closing and being bridged. I'm
: already seeing some of that with Windows 8, but even excluding Microsoft,
: there is no reason that the next generation of consoles can't integrate
: more with a traditional computer.

I concur.
