[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 269794, member: 20564"] true that a lot of games do run on just an application, but what I was getting at is the simplicity and convenience of discs and cartridges. No installers, it's not stored on the hard-drive. I'd rather have a 1gig game running on a console than sitting on my hard drive. Also, there's no need to worry about specs, setup or anything like that. And I've never been a fan of using a keyboard for games. 3rd party controllers I've used have been extremely dodgy at best, and even then there's additional installations and/or setup to worry about. I think I just prefer console games since I grew up with a NES and have continued to play console games since then. I still do enjoy some computer games, mostly older titles though, Age of Empires (although I'm hardly any good) and solitaire. [/QUOTE]
