The "I can't understand why you would play an fps on a console" thread

[AlCapacino]

With graphics cards like the 7900GT for £120 (BF2 @ 1920x1200 @ 60fps), I don't see why a good gaming machine couldn't be built for say £400 to compete with a Xbox360, and it would do all the other stuff too.

issue is you have to be computer savy and spend the time to do it - that is always the catch. You lose some of the fun of true Plug'n'Play fun.

Still, even though I spent 1 month completing Halo on the Xbox, I still hated the controller after 1 hour back on CS:S. I couldn't imagine playing multi-player fps with a gamepad. Halo was OK, because of the gameplay, etc.

My biggest gripe is that moving from PC to console FPS it really feels like some sort of downgrade.

Racing games and some others are fine however, but when I hook up my Logitech MOMO (red) racing wheel to my PC, turn up the bass box for engine vibration it feels so damn realsitic... even though I like my 360, for me it feels like a poor mans PC at times
