Umm, how do you do the math on that?

The PS3 (for example) is available for £230 ($299), now. This console has a planned 10yr life cycle, so around 7yrs left.

How much does a gaming PC cost again? How often do you upgrade a GFX card? How much does that cost? How much does a monitor cost you? Etc......Damn, to keep up with PC games you need a good GFX card every 2 years and that can be £100 to £200 a pop.

Even buying a new console every 8-10yrs, it's cheaper in the long run.
