what came with your 400.00 system? They still not packaging games in most systems because no one bitched enough when Sega did it back with the genesis and then let sony get away with when they released the psx? You can get a dell in that range or build your own system that will play games on the same level in the same price range. So then add your games, your controllers, your upgrades. Same as getting games and gaming mice and gaming keyboards. Bang for the buck your computer is still competing with the platform on top of the other functions of the computer that your platform can not do, you know the ones it was actually designed for haha.

most of the cost of a computer is in the monitor. Compare that to the cost of the tv you have to have to play your game and now the systems are running about what and what. I would still go spend double the cost of a platform on a pure gaming machine which could play multiple games than be locked into a contract of sorts with the exclusivity and limitations of the lineup of a platform on top of the worry that my xbox becomes xbox360 within 5 years and games for the original are cancelled, that i bought a dreamcast and sega goes belly up within 5 years, same on my ps2 to ps3 and by far the worst, my n64 to gamecube to whatever the hell the new one is being called.
