With all of the RRoD problems, I wouldn't get anything from the pawnshop that wasn't a slim. Gamestop might have some refurbished units, and they usually have a 30 - 90 day warranty. I ended up buying a refurbished Wii five years ago there and have never had any issues with it; but I also rarely use it either.
Steal a Wii while you're at it. You'll need it for April.

Even though I honestly put pretty much zero stock into anything IGN has to say...I know many do.

First (paid off) review. And the score is...9.0 of course! You can actually hear the dollars coating the insides of his throat with some of the bullshit he says. Anyway, many of the other previews have similarly good things to say, but you won't be able to see their actual review until Tuesday.

As some may know, I am a sucker for Final Fantasy games. Going to pick up XIII-2, be back later!

im addicted to skyrim. i haven't had so much fun playing a game in a long time...maybe since ocarina of time. im level 36 and not slowing down. there's so much to do in the game it's almost unbelievable. the graphics are amazing too. the dungeons are so well designed and look very beautiful. the only gripes i have are the random dragon attacks (i have to turn the game setting to easy so i can kill them quickly...i hate stopping what im doing to battle with them for a long time), the pub/bar designs are repetitive and the voice acting, while good, is not diverse enough. little things. but man...this might be my favorite game ever.

Fuck PC gaming. I could pay much less, with more exclusives, less hassle, and less money. PC gaming is dying, if you disagree, your opinion is wrong.
i thought you stopped talking like that on here after the board's psychologist (el stormo) reprimanded you. watch out or he might schedule an online session. a one to one where he diagnoses your mental issues and taps into the roots of you anger.
You are partially right. Yes, it can get expensive but in the long run it is worth it. More exclusives? Well, now days you see these exclusives for all consoles. Modding community = PC. PC gaming isn't dying and it never will. Time will tell

Partly right. The gaming industry is aimed at consoles these days.
Less money? Aren't you looking for another Xbox 360 since your last one broke? You probably paid 300 bucks for the last one, and now you're gonna pay at least 150-200 for another one. I've had a computer that can play every single game a 360 can play and in 5 years I've changed only the hard drive and the video card on it.
MMOs. Find a console that can play Eve Online, SWTOR, or Guild Wars 2.
Graphics. PC graphics are head and shoulders better than consoles. This is a fact. DX11? Yeah, on a PC. Go ahead and look at BF3 on PC and then on PS3. I've got it on PS3 and the PC graphics are much, much better.
Control. Since consoles are aimed at the ADD-addled FPS crowd these days, you would think they'd come up with better controls, or at least the ability to plug a keyboard and mouse in. Sadly, only on some games. Go ahead and play a FPS on a console and watch everyone on a PC wipe the floor with you. Also, CUSTOMIZATION.
Modding. Yep...all about the PC.
Pirating. I can download a game, fire up Daemon Tools, install the game, and install the crack and play whatever new game comes out for free. I've been doing it for three years. The only new games I've bought for PC besides SWTOR and Eve are The Witcher 2 (which, by the way, came out FOR PC ONLY and only now is being released 2 years later for Xbox 360) and Deus Ex: HR. Literally everything else I've played I've downloaded...and I still have them. In fact, I'm about to fire up an old game I've got on my external hard drive. Both Mass Effect games, including all DLCs, I've downloaded from torrents. I'm not advocating pirating, just arguing the fact that you say console gaming is cheaper.
Also, no worrying about getting my system bricked, no worrying about getting the system modded only to have it die on me an hour later, and no Red Ring of Death/Yellow Light of Death...WHICH THEY'VE HAD 6 YEARS TO FIX BY NOW AND STILL HAVEN'T DONE IT.
C'mon man. Everyone knows the gaming market is aimed at consoles because they've somewhat caught up to the power of an average PC, and that some games are just more fun on consoles (Red Dead Redemption), but you don't have to have one or the other. You can appreciate both. I certainly do. However, to make a blanket statement like PC gaming is dying is just ridiculous.

Well, I do disagree. For the same reasons DW mentions. PC gaming has been "dying" for years and years and it's still here. Yes, the market's aimed at consoles, but that's purely out of laziness (less system configuration possibilities mean less bugs) and greed (console games are harder to pirate). And yes, we PC gamers get fed shitty console ports, but there are still so many more options and possibilities with a PC than with a console, and that'll never change.
Let's tap into the roots of your unfunniness instead.

Bad booze?
I myself tend to shy away from the pc when it comes to gaming but thats only because computers and I dont get along very well... And the fact that I can eather look at the game on a standard size laptop screen or a rather large LED TV.

Like I said, they've been saying that for so many years now, and it's still quite alive.

The average American doesn't make as much money as you guys. They buy consoles. Microsoft is an American company.
Europe does not make consoles.
The Japanese are all about Nintendo, especially now that Sony's done for.
Don't get me wrong, I wish I could afford a gaming PC.
