Iv stopped spending on PC equipment about 3 years ago.
Tired of buying 600 dollar video cards, operating systems, upgrades, more memory, the hunger for a bigger LCD screen, etc.etc.etc.. the list never ends...just so I can play the latest games.
When I played Battlefield or any first person games in the past. I needed my settings to be maxed. And I strived to get to there.
I hated consoles, I never understood why people played them. They could never be as quick as me with my mouse and keyboard, my graphics were always better than the consoles, the consoles were always the dumb down version of the game.

Well its all turning around now. PC games are being dumbed down. The market knows where the money is. I can use the joystick just as good as mice and keyboard now. And if I look at Modern Warefare 2. The graphics just look sick. And I dont have to worry about tweaking the graphics.

Still to this date.. I know Iv sacrificed quality of games for the sake of saving thousands of dollars.

Im now 100% PS3 and Xbox player now.
I dont want to boot up my Vista/ Windows operating system just to load a game. Nor do I want to see my game crash and boot me out.
I have a notebook that surfs the net for me.
I do miss the great graphic quality and definitely the keyboard, mouse combination, but I do believe I have played enough to use the xbox or PS3 josticks to beat the best of them now.

Im an avid gamer since the Atari days to the Commodore to the PC........

I NOW enjoy sitting on my couch, in front of my 47" tv, nice whisky on the coffee table.

I want to get off work, get on the couch, hit the PS3 button or Xbox button and boom... the console is on. No fiddling with a keyboard and mouse with start button to get to the game... and hopefully it doesnt crash.

On a side note to OP.
Iv never played Fallout 3 on PC. Nor have I seen it on the PC.
I am glad I never have. As far as Im concerned. Fallout on PS3 or Xbox is one of the best games I have ever played. I dont compare it to the PC. Nor do I need to. Its simply one of the greatest games ever made.
