This needs to stop. Just use the search button and go over the old threads. This topic has been beaten to death.

Voice your opinion about thread consolidation here.

It's not even about that. People should learn to search for an answer before posting. They often take in disregard for this and should know better. Active users in ATOT know about this since they will get flamed with "repost" comments if they start a new thread about something that's already been posted. It should like this here. Search before asking and if you can't find any information then feel free to post it. And with this whole PC vs. console debate, it's such a big topic that people should know that it's been discussed ad nauseum.

You just don't get it. You need to read the Hot Deal forums more closely. There have been many many many thread discussing those who buy newest new hardware today, Ebay the 6 month old hardware tonight. Price difference sometime makes upgrading result in a profit. Coupons, rebates, bundles, etc. But of course if you only read the console threads, you would not know this.

Sorry, just don't buy it. I'd love you to show me examples of where you managed to eBay 6 month old hardware and the profit you got plus $20 got you the latest and great video card. I just don't see that working for every component every six months. And what if you don't feel like doing overhauls every six months? That's exactly the kind of crap a lot of people that choose consoles for their gaming are wanting to avoid. Is that really that hard to understand?

And Thraxen, just so that you know from this point on, call someone an ass only makes you one.

Whatever... this is one of your statements over in the PC Gaming forum:

"The consoles (aside for the constantly repeating RRODs refurb cycles) will always be than PCs for people with the IQ of a glass of water, since they never have to deal with hardware upgrades."

Sorry, statements like that (and others) makes you an ass.
