Hey! Watch it with the reference to walking through Wal-mart with a six-pack and fishing lures in your basket ... You must work for security and spotted me ...

You don’t need 2 graphics cards to run games, especially if you do some homework before buying. The cost of my new CPU is very close to what I spent on my P4 2Ghz 5 years ago, so buying a dual core doesn’t double the price
The #1 thing PC has over consoles is the upgradeability. I can always buy a faster CPU to throw in my machine if I need. I can always upgrade the video card or go SLI if I want to at a later date. My PS2, Xbox, and GameCube run and look the same as the day I brought them home many years ago.

That's both true and false ... I agree with one good gpu video card vs (2) and you can always go to two (2) when the price comes down, but according to my old notebooks that I tear the pages out of and throw away once-in-a-while, systems today cost about the same as they always did.
In fact I've paid over $250 for a 4gb hdd in 98 and today that would purchase a 500gb hdd and that's just a small example.
As far as consoles go ... a game as good as SH4 would be the only game to get me into a $500 box (tax, extra controller, etc) and then my small 27" flat screen Samsung would have to be upgraded too ... for another $600 to $700 dollars.
Plus SH4 would have to have the entire Imperial Japanese Navy after me to make that kind of investment.
