For me it's knowing that a game is $60 and that I'll more than likely only buy one or two at a time. If I owned a PC and could get games for $5, I would be a huge, lazy POS. Win one for console amirite?

I got 12 games yesterday for $5.01. Sadly only about 8 of them are pretty legit and I already owned 3 of the legit ones. So in reality I only got 5 games for $5.01 I guess score that one for console as well?

I'd say about 65% of the games I have on the PC I have yet to play.

Between Steam and Origin I have about 20 games I haven't even activated yet that I bought from these bundle sales. I also have about 20 duplicate keys. I need to do a another duplicate dump on here like I did a while back.

Seems a lot like ultimate's spin on why the PS4 will be better...........because he can do less on it.

Same, if not worse for me. Those Humble Bundles and Steam sales kill me.

I almost wish game studios across the world would all agree to a 1 year stop. No new games released. It would give me time to catch up...maybe.

I will try to get it all organized and see what I have.

Check this out. I have been buying people's Never settle bundles on Ebay for $20. I activate it and get the keys then I sell off Bioshock Infinite or something for $20 on ebay. I have gotten Crysis 3, Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, and Hitman free in the past 4 days doing that.

This is NOT a trade/buy/sell thread. It's just a regular stupid thread.

i think the major benefit to owning a console is that the hardware is paired to the software in unison. with pc's with all the different hardware set ups they are in a position to optimize software games performances.

You either play more than the average PC gamer or you have not bought into the Steam sales like a fricking zombie like the rest of us.
