Do you think PC gaming is cheaper in the long run compared to Console gaming?

[froggyboy604]

Yes, PC gaming is cheaper in the long run unless you buy a laptop to play games... since laptop ram, Hard drive, GPU are very expensive and get outdated quickly.

You can build a Gaming PC that costs $800-1000 dollars and add upgrades when needed , but the games for PC usually drop in price sooner then console games, and there are a lot of free and inexpensive games you can play online or download.

You can play hundreds of games for $80 a month if you subscribe to gametap

This kind of service is not available for any console, so if you play hundreds of games a month for the consoles it will cost more.

I guest if you buy a few games a year, and only own 1-2 current gen consoles then console gaming will be cheaper, and quicker since you do not have to install the game on your hard drive.
