Why do I need to rob a bank to buy a Playstation 4 .its a third of the cost of any decent PC Gaming Rig.

If your basing costs from the 1980's maybe...

You can buy a PS4 for £329.97 at GameStop UK, can you post a list of components for a gaming rig within that budget, should include the case and everything within.

Here is just one That is £276
There are many more, some cheaper and some more expensive, and yes, they all run Battlefield 3 without the need to buy any new graphics card, but if you need one, they are from £22 upwards

That has no OS, so add £75 for Widnows 8.1, making it £351. That is more than the PS4 and has onboard graphics, is that good enough to play the latest games at better quality than a PS4 ?

I am not bashing PC gaming or saying consoles are better I am just genuinely interested.I was a PC gamer from around 98-2003 and have built 4 rigs in my time, which I love doing but am pretty out of touch with what are good specs these days. But I do doubt that hardware wise PC's work out cheaper than consoles though obviously you do save on the games.

Or you can have Linux for £0

Or you could get a different system with Windows , like this that has all the usual rubbish with a computer that comes with an OS.

And if you can salvage anything from another computer then you could save more. And with savings of around £15+ per game over the console version, then you'll be laughing all the way to your local GAME store.

Well aware of linux as I use it daily but that can play virtually no games at the moment. Savings on games are a valid point but I don't get through games that fast and PS+ for £39.99 a year keeps me busy most of the time. Last year I bought 2 games, GTA 5 and TLOU, both on ebay under £30

Well, I got my last 3 games for $0.01

Well that's hard to argue with but crucially what were the games?

Symphony, Draw-A-Stickman and the Galcon games...
