there is a difference between pc gamers and xbox owners
we are free from someone controlling us.
while box owners pay micosoft taxes even for going online lol.. doesnt come as a surpise you got charged 10usd extra for the game then another 10usd for a free dlc.
time to pay your taxes ;-)
deep down every console gamer pays a tax to micro and sony for every game they buy. they get ripped off every time.. whats your point lol?
10usd per game within the usa
upto 25usd outside ;-)
first the console users paid 59usd for this game (10usd tax to micro)
now they gotta pay for the dlc.
this happens with them all the time.. proving my point console gaming is more costly then the pc. how console users get ripped on the prices of...
Microsoft makes you pay for any other dlc so why dont you pay for this one?
besides if you were so cost cautious you wont be paying microsoft a tax for every game you bought :)
id recommend you pay for this dlc ;-)
lol this further proves my point how console gaming is expensive vs pc gaming... the pricing of games and dlcs makes consoles expensive.
first the console users paid 59usd for this game now they gotta pay extra for the dl...
The price difference of games will more then make up for an entire upgrade :)
specially if a comparison was to be done with the xbox.
anyways.. even if the pc wasnt cheaper it would be more or less the same as the console.
however the difference is.. ppl need a pc at home for work, web browsing. only costs a little etc to convert that into a gaming system.
consoles arent really needed unless somone just wants to game. which is why pc is ...
prices wont rise. you just increased your costs by going console.
consoles are more costly then pc. heres why:
The price difference between console and pc games are enough to turn the tide.
PC gaming doesnt need yearly upgrades maybe on the 3rd year minor gpu upgrade will be good.
take the example of a ps3:
300usd price for the console
2655 usd price for games (over a period of 3 yrs if only 15 games are bought ...
@iiproticolii
you just proved my point...
that list only shows 24 games on the ps3 which are 1080 compatible most of those games arent even hi end games.. ps3 now has over 300 titles to its name.. by that count only 10% of its games are 1080... rest are at 720p(or worse below that)
i do not argue consoles are pointless i just said you may buy them for their exclusives. however playing 3rd party games on a console it senseless cause you end up payin...
the calculation shows price difference
15 console games every year for 3 years:
15 * 59 * 3 = usd 2655 (in the usa)
15 * 75 * 3 = usd 3375 (outside the usa)
same games on the pc would cost you:
15 * 49 * 3 = usd 2205
difference on game bought pc vs console
2665 - 2205 = 460 usd (in the usa)
3375 - 2205 = 1170usd (outside the usa)
notice the additinal tax you ...

here are the reasons why pc gaming is cheaper.
take the example of an ps3:
300usd price for the console
450 usd price difference for games (over a period of 3 yrs if only 15 games are bought a year) this is if you are staying in the usa. If you stayed outside then the difference would be 112...
I really dont know what you are talking about this year i have had good exclusinves so far Dawn of war 2, Empire total war. All the 3rd party games i have bought on the pc have been cheaper. You know its not hard to buy the 1-2 good exclusives the consoles do get per year, however there is no need to be paying micro or sony taxes for every other 3rd party game. its a known fact every 3rd party game out there runs better on the pc.
I really dont know whre you have been but today...

i did the example lower against the xbox i will do it against the ps3 :)

take the example of an xbox:
300usd price for the console
150 usd for the live service (lets make it 3 years)

you do realise the tax you pay to microsoft or sony per game more then turns the tide.
a gaming pc will cost you 500usd these days and it will stomp the consoles in every way and it will last this entire generation.. while its games will be cheaper 10-25usd depending on your country.
also the 8800gtx is far superior to any console it can still run most games at true 1080 with hi res textures and good AA(something consoles can only dream off), and remember had you...
true today gpus for the pc have become so powerful.
that even a 150usd gpu is enough to supercharge a 2yr old pc to lvls consoles can only dream of. Also it should be enough to last the entire generation.
Along with this the games on the pc become cheaper. you dont need to needlessly pay mircosoft or sony. I dont understand why fanboys just have to support these companies so much.. understand they are just there to make money of us.
Pc which is the...
enjoy your taxes to sony and micro :)
while us pc gamers get the games cheaper and with higher resolutions and textures :)
ummm the only thing holding back games is the old hardware on the consoles. get us a new gen and we will see some progress..
till they get outdated again like in 6months lol.
its 3 years old what do ya expect?
@cyborg
did you even read my post.. i would really like to know what 1000usd pc you gotta buy.. which needs upgrades in 6months.. really... maybe its one with an intel intraged gpu... wait for that kinda a money unless someone robs you .. you'd get a pc that wipe the floor with all the consoles put together.
imo for 500usd you can put together a machine that would out do all the consoles this entire gen, while doing true hd and because its games are cheaper it wo...
249gbp is overpriced for an old machine which forces you to pay a tax to sony for every game you buy.. plus it forces you to play at low resolutions. Afterall its made by a company with the focus of making money of you, anyway you put it... there always will be a middleman.
i would be surprised if you typed the above post on your ps3... feel sorry for your thumbs.
If you did type it on a pc.. then all it takes is a 100gpb(will last the entire generation) gpu to p...
good job on paying your microsoft taxes :)
first 10usd more on the game
then 10usd more on 2map dlc ;-)
awesome.
