What systems do you like to play on the most? This is multiple choice.
 
PC. I can find no-dvd/cd cracks,mods, freeware and a whole bunch of other stuff for my PC and a mouse works so much better for first person shooters than a game controller.

I've never understood why people would rather play FPS on a console vs. PC. The combination of the mouse and the keyboard give me much more control than a console controller does.

The only thing I play on consoles are family games and sports games.
 
Consoles, both Xbox and PS3, Xbox more though.
 
I've never owned a console...never will.

I'd rather spend the money to keep my PC capable of high-to-ultra settings and, until something better comes along, you just can't beat keyboard and mouse control.
 
The great thing about a console is that everyone is pretty much on a level playing field. And the other nice thing, HD xbox on a 51" screen isn't bad either.

Many people who own consoles do not own PC or PCs powerful enough to play certain FPS and some FPS games are only on consoles for example a game called Black is only available on PS2 and XBox(unless you run a emulator, but you couldn't use a mouse).

I used to agree with you until I got my first ps3 with the Move motion controllers.

With this setup I can tear up the shooters like I can on a pc.

And its awesome on our 50" DLP tv.
 
PC gaming supremacy.
 
I do 90% of my gaming on a PC. I own a PS3 and a Wii, but only use them for titles that aren't available on PC.
 
My PC was my second gaming machine, but it will always be my #1. The community created content is amazing! Second is my Xbox on Xbox Live. Content is ok, almost all customization on Xbox Live is illegal or against TOS.
 
I'm thinking of possibly getting a XBox360 at some point soon primarily for platformers, Madden, and for playing with people on XBox Live.

At the same time, I like my FPS's and prefer to play them with a mouse and a keyboard over a controller. I'm stuck in the mid 2000's apparently, becuase the primary time waster that I play is a Mod for Counter-Strike called "Gungame". However looking to get BF3 or MW3 soon I think. Also just got Starcraft2 for my RTS fix.

I actually just purchased a used 2011 iMac off Craigslist two weeks ago that will hopefully be my computer for the next 5 plus years after watching my wife's stay so stable for so long now. Counter-Strike and Starcraft 2 both run natively on it, so most of the time I'll be good to go. However I'm looking to put Windows 7 on it in Bootcamp mode to load up Skyrim and to possibly check out SWTOR.
 
Hmm dont like the PC/MAC option.. there are next to no games for the MAC.....especially compared to the PC.
 
PC.

I own an old XBOX (not 360) but never use it.

I far prefer the keyboard/mouse setup (perhaps because I'm used to it), along with the versatility available on a PC.
I mean, sure, I can play games and all that, but if I want to I can also use it to create and edit documents, art, photos, video...Hell, I could create my own game and then play it, had I the skills. So many options available.

Plus PC construction is modular, and as I build my own, I can replace or upgrade parts as necessary.
