http://thewoodlandretreat.com/accommodation/the-woodland-cabin/ When I first started writing for this site, I swore to myself I?d never do a video game related article. Up until now, I honored that promise. Forgive me Stu for treading on your ground.
Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, just give it up, the sun has set on your parade. Take a minute, step back, and look at your creations. 3d graphics, fast processors, stereo quality sound, and a cd drive all welded nicely into a small box. I hate to break it to ya, but computers have been around for a while now, and with the right equipment they?re much better at doing what you?re trying to do.
New systems are costing around $300, new entry level computers are costing around $400, and for the most part, they offer the same features, if not more.
When?s the last time you upgraded your console? Could you if you wanted to? If you want to play the latest game, you?re stuck switching to the new console, all at a great profit for the company no less. My computer however, has handled all the latest craze games without ever needing an upgrade; and the graphics are a heck of a lot better on my computer screen.
Sony and Microsoft are now releasing online and storage capabilities for their systems. My computer?s had an internet connection and extra hard drive space since 1987 when I was still playing the text-based Leisure Suit Larry.
Why do we buy consoles? The graphics aren?t better, they?re not upgradeable, and they don?t offer any of the features of a PC. That only leaves game selection.
It?s time for us, the consumer, to stop buying console games, and start telling the companies that we?d prefer PC games.
