if you dont plan on playing games, or using your PC for Video editing, you dont need anything fancy, saving you a TON of cash ;). heck, my mom still uses a pentium 2 at 300 megaherts to surf the net.

and PC to concole ports come to PC first... F.E.A.R. is a good example
Concole to PC ports come out on Consoles first.. Halo, came out nearly 2 years after, and halo 2 is not even out on PC yet.

Obviously you guys have a valid point. However can you design a website, take online class's, run any other programs besides games on a wii, 360, or ps3? I spent almost 8-900 dollers on completely revamping the major preformance parts in my PC. But obviously consoles are for the most part only designed to play games. But its all personnel discretion, and opinion. You can drop 600 bills on a ps3, or you can upgrade your pc with a couple different parts or components. In other words Im simply saying, that PC games come out usually alot faster than most console games. I.e. F.E.A.R. But I see your point console games run smoother. But my point is that PC's obviously can do alot more, and the games are usually out alot sooner then the game comes out for a console system. And stair Im saying 600 dollers is very pricey for a console. 600 dollers is not alot of money compared to certain PC parts, like video cards, or DC processors. But in my opinion it is quite pricey for a console.


Ok but do you need a gaming PC to do all of those? Obviously some tasks involve top shelf parts but for the basic needs you can get $400 Dell that will Suffice.

The only thing I dislike about consoles is the joystick, thats so n64. Why not throw a half sized trackball on there so I can actually move the cross hair at the speed and precision I want. Joystick to move and a trackball to aim, thats the controller I am looking for.

PS3 for what it has in it is a very fair price, Like almost every console in the history of video games Sony is losing money on each system sold. For a casual game, 600 is alot of money and probably not worth it but most of us play video games pretty reguarly and a PS3 is not much more then a graphics card. 
 
I would NEVER pay anything close to $600 for a graphics card.
 
And most people I know wouldn't go over $300.
 
I have spent like $150, $190 and maybe $200 on 3 graphics card in 6 years.

That would be Awsome Xen, id love a controler like that too. maybe in the year 2011 lol :/
 
as for Tybo's coment, thats pretty much the price of a 360 right there, and thats just for your video card's alone.
