	#1 - Droop - March 28, 2008 15:07 Everyone is saying "PC IS DED LOL" but then this guy says the opposite :S
	#2 - Viper - March 28, 2008 15:08 And he is a Console guy :P
	#3 - Kryptt - March 28, 2008 18:29 I was a really glad console user, till i got my PC. Don't think i will ever buy a console anymore.
	#4 - Rave - March 28, 2008 18:39 Well can I just point out that 2 years ago, everyone was saying Nintendo was dead and they might as well just stop making consoles and concentrate on games. Like I said to those people at the time: "Suck my Nintendo balls".
	#5 - Droop - March 29, 2008 14:19 The Wii was probably the smartest move Nintendo could do. Xbox and PS3 are basicly the same as the old consoles, just with new hardware. :s
