Whenever comes down with console wars, there's always that one guy who says that the PC was better or something like that. Here's a newsflash: PC Gaming isn't always sunshine, rainbows, or replacing dragons with Randy Savage. I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this, but I'm making a video about it anyway. That video will be finished sometime around Halloween. Here's a taste on one of the entries:
They say that PC's are "cheaper" than consoles, is like saying having your balls blown off is less painful than a punch to the face. PCs are NOT CHEAP. Current consoles ranges around $250-$600, depending on which store you go to, what games & accessories came with it, or memory size. PC prices are all over the place, ranging from less than $300 to over $1500, and most PCs (excluding laptops) doesn't came with necessary components, like a monitor, speakers, mouse & keyboard. Meaning it costs even more depending on what equipment you're buying. Of course you could buy a used one off of Craigslist or somewhere, but chances are that you bought a broken PC, a hard drive that had viruses up the ass, had some parts missing, etc.
To give you an example on why the PC is not cheap, my PC is an Acer Aspire Laptop that has a 500GB hard drive, 4GB DDR3 L memory, Intel processor & GPU, and it costs ~$550 at The Source in 2015. The PS4 on my left comes with a 500GB Hard drive, 8GB GDDR5 memory, X86 processor, and AMD Radeon-based graphics engine. That costs around $460 which bundles with the controller, a physical copy of Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, a PS Plus trial, and a digital copy of The Last of Us Remastered. The PS4 can do so much, while this PC can barely emulate a 6th gen console game. Need I say more?
I'm also hiring a couple voice actors if you're interested.

I got my new PC from http://www.pless.co.uk/ and it cost me near about £450/£500 tower, the parts, keyboard and mouse included.
Then I got myself a samsung monitor that is a 21:9 format and I got it near about £300
So In total.. near about £750/£800.
Now.. I don't know if i'm lucky living in my country to get the parts cheap (Well, not cheap cheap but money type of cheap.) and get my step da to build it... But I only want a powerful PC is to make my videos better quality and export it faster. Also I play old games as well. Like age of empires example. And that's pretty much it really. Like it's good for me to animate, edit stuff and play old ass games. And to make you feel better. I uninstall Steam because it was taking alot of space from the cloud server.
But I don't hate on consoles tho. It's just that I don't like playing with others online gaming because of the name calling and such. And social anxiety. But I am happy to play with a friend tho. Or come to their house is even more better and being safety. Sure. But I most likely play games by myself.. Like I'm not a hardcore gamer with those consoles wars and PC master race? All I just wanted is to animate and edit videos?? But most likely listen or watching a youtube video.
