How to Choose Between PC and Console Gaming

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Decide on a budget.

   An Xbox 360 costs roughly $300, and more for accessories.
   
   A PlayStation 3 will cost you the same price.
   
   This is obviously a lot cheaper than going out and building an intense gaming rig! If you've got a lot of money, go crazy with a gaming computer.
   
   Not so easy to let go of your hard-earned money, and buy yourself a console.

   Step 2: What games will you play?

   Consider what type of games you enjoy.
   
   If you enjoy MMORPGs such as World of Warcraft, Aion or Age of Conan, you want a PC.
   
   If you want to play RTS games such as League of Legends or Starcraft 2, go for a PC.
   
   If you want to play FPS games, I recommend a P.C for tactical shooters, a console if you want to only play Call of Duty.
   
   Want to play sports games? Go with a console. , If all of your friends have a PS3, well, go buy one! But if all of your friends are talking on Steam and enjoying PC gaming, go that route. ,
