    PCSPECIALIST Comparisons to console

    Wow! Thanks for that, it shows what great value they are for the money but this makes sense as they are dedicated to one job only and are mass produced. I was just interested how they compared. Are you going to get one of them in the future or do you game solely on your P.C? Thanks very much.
