i would honestly rather give a dude a reach around than have a consol, ive had both ps3 and xbox's .....twice and sold them both....both times!! i cant friggin stand them. pc's are sooo much cooler and you can always add to them plus the porn

If they ever did a keyboard and mouse for a console i'd be sorted, just can't use a contoller for FPS games, it's just wrong

Very good deals on 7950s at the mo. Price drops all over the place and numerous games bundles which you could flog on to bring the price down if you didn't want them.

Ordered myself a HIS 7950 IceQ Boost last week, just waiting on a new PSU to power the damn thing now

Lol same here, I bowed out of PC gaming a few years ago after spending a fortune over the years!! Going from Keyboard & Mouse to a FPS games on a PS2 I just couldnt get my head around using the analogue stick so went back to PC for those games, but finally got used to controller after spending hours on Fallout 3 on the Xbox 360!!!

Yep, I'm all about the Radeon kit too. Much more bang for your buck.
