PC Advantages Over Console
* PC lasts forever, unlike consoles which usually die when their successor comes out. This also means that the games last forever (just look at StarCraft: Brood War, they still sell that in stores after 11 years, millions of people play it online using Battle.net daily, it has an awesome ladder and stat tracking system, it still gets updated, and it is the best-selling video game of all time [excluding World of Warcraft]).

* PC has free online play (unlike Xbox Live).

* PC has several features that consoles don't.

* There are more buttons (i.e. like 40 keys on a key board + mouse + joystick).

* Quality is always improving (instead of having a fixed limit on how good graphics can be).

* Patching/updating games is a lot easier.

* And several other good features.

* There is no need to have a television with certain cables to play PC games (or a TV at all for that matter).

* You can mod games (without breaking the law).

* It's easier to get tech support for a PC game than it is a console game (since usually console game errors are caused by problems with your console and/or the game disk/cartridge).

* You can modify your PC more than you can your console.

* Opening up your console (usually) voids your console's warranty, but opening your PC doesn't void your PC's warranty.

* It's not illegal to mod games.

* You can't get your PC banned.

* PC's are generally more reliable than consoles (i.e. PCs can't get the Red Ring of Death).



Console Advantages Over PC
* You don't (ussually) have to go buy upgrades and whatnot all the time to get a smooth gameplay experience.

* You can trade in console games.

* It's a lot easier to return a console game to a store than it is an opened PC game.

* Not all computers run all games (and not all games run on all computers).

* New consoles (ussually) cost less than new computers.

* Console games are generally cheaper than PC games.

* Most PC games don't let two people play the same game at the same time on the same computer together (unless it's a hotseat game), but you can do split screen on most console games.

Consoles are computers.

There are much bigger advantages to PC gaming over console gaming if we're talking about the hardcore arena (such as there not being a spring that works on the controller, on a mouse every direction is exactly the same). You should put a little paragraph to say what you're trying to say too before posting a random list, and if you're talking about hardcore gaming you should do some more research, too. Good job, but very simplistic... :)

Pc games are MUCH cheaper then console games. Some of your information is incorrect.

It's a pretty well known fact that PC gaming is more customizable, provides a better experience, allows more control, and (for the most part) online players on the PC are much more mature.

Consoles are easy and cheap; something that anyone can get a hold of.
