I only like FPS's on PC with keyboard & mouse...and emulation on PC of course.

But nowadays I prefer consoles for most other games.  Consoles are hassle free.

Looking foward to the 360's launch. Due to the fact that the xbox libary of games will drop in price. Besides from FPS and racing games on current systems I always keep going back to SNES/Genesis games.

great a new pc! (i mean xbox)  seriously, why not just upgrade your pc, its the same thing as buying an xbox.  "but oh man, theres so many cool games for the xbox".  yeah like halo, halo 2, kotor, kotor 2, fable....oh wait, those all came out for the pc.  problem solved.

Dude, why'd you build an arcade cab?  Why not just have your friends huddled around the PC using the keyboard for controls for that authentic arcade experience? 

Consoles are a different experience than PC's.  You sit on the couch, you're in the living room, you drink a beer, and talk smack.  I can get madden 2006 on my pc, sure.  But then I gotta fish out the generic controllers, and oops, the buttons aren't mapped right so I need to go in and mess with that.  Ooh, this video setting isn't perfect... let me mess with it.  Wait, maybe if I turn off FSAA it'll run a little smoother.. you know I think I could get away with going up to 16x12 at this level of detail man...  Hey, move over a bit, you're hogging the 19" screen.  Sorry, I only have one good chair, you're gonna have to sit on an overturned Dairyland Milk Crate.  Crap, someone IM'ed me right in the middle of the play and it switched out of fullscreen... sorry, lemme turn off IM.  Alright now we're playing... crap the wife needs to check her email real quick, lets smoke a butt while she does that.  Ok, NOW we're set... crap... BSOD.  I guess I shouldn't have downloaded those new Detonators... maybe I should run memtest86?  Consoles are a different experience....

God....that's funny.  I couldn't have said it better.
