Hey. That's no fair. You can't exclude costs!
This thread is biased in favour of PC gamers. This is now null and void. |

| even mage is smart enough to realize that utilities vary too widely to accurately measure, as opposed to a new PC which typically falls around $700 if you get bang4buck parts like the 6870/7870 and i5 |

Of course not. A pc is going to have internet. You can't use online retailers like Steam or pirate your games if you're into that sort of thing. It directly affects PC gaming in general and is all but a necessity. |

| however, if a neighbour has wi-fi, and they're too technologically impaired to lock it, then you have free internet. |

just use $10/kwh but don't add internet prices, since they will be the same for all platforms and vary a lot
On the other hand, I'm left-handed. |

That appears to be excluding those general fees like internet.
I can't really think of any general services that require a price on the PC, unless we're talking about a game with subscription-based monetization. |

How do you factor in the 50 dollars for consoles? Are you really assuming that everybody pays for membership every month? Maybe they pay for one month then not the rest. |

It's for consoles to have the same benefit as pc (to play online)

I can see the pirating thing-a-ma-jig. So PC elitists are not only furries and atheists, but PIRATES too? Interesting...
...and yes, I'm back. And with a new siggy:
PC Elitists: It's not for the PC, so it sucks. |
