No, mostly swear at people on Overwatch/League of Legends/CSGO/etcetcetc for being braindead.

Not really Browns, it was mid range at best when I bought it.

Has it got a little LED next to the CD tray to indicate open/close activity?

Now and again. My account is always playing but that's my brother. I'm more into watching it, weirdly but I dabble.

Nah, one MD1 is mine from years ago. Second one is my brothers old one. MD2 was bought boxed a year or so ago.

No Master System converter or 32-X?? Surely someone somewhere is selling one!!

That was definitely the hook for consoles in the past, when you just slotted a cartridge in, but now? You have to set up a PS plus and user account. You have to set up the WiFi. A PC sets up the same way - power, HDMI, connect to TV, USB port for controller... only addition is a keyboard and mouse and using Windows instead of the PlayStation OS.

The cost used to be the big difference - I think it's not really a major difference now.

I can see "because I play <console exclusive> with my mates" as the big reason, which is fine, but consoles used to be a completely different experience to a PC. I don't see that now.

I think it is a jump from knowing your wifi password to being arsed about mods, textures, shading, and all the graphics stuff PC lads love to go on about.

I think another factor is the price difference. The time between the PS3 and the PS4 releases was 7 years, you'd have to pay a fair whack for a gaming PC to last that long while being able to play the latest titles in 6 years time.

Besides price then I suppose it comes down to what's valued in the individual's gaming experience be that co-op play, graphics, access to new titles ASAP, available title.

Me personally, I'm impressed by good graphics but they don't necessarily make a good game. I liked being able to play GTAV when it first came out because I was very excited for it, I know the PC version looks much better right now but I didn't give a toss about that in 2013.

My laptop at the moment can just about handle early next gen titles so I've been picking up the ones I was too tight to buy at full price on the Steam sales. I'll buy a better PC soon because the missus enjoys games more than I do.

Speaking of the missus, there's another positive it was a lot easier to get her into gaming on one. She used to play when she was younger but hadn't played in ages so we started playing the lego games and little big planet together and now she batters Skyrim, The Witcher, and Fallout. She's more hardcore than I am, I mostly just play a bit of FIFA and FM and whatever open-world game takes my interest these days.
