you could have made a mature and balanced post, but shocker you didn't. I swear sometimes that elitist pc users are just as immature as console fanboys.

Of course, it works both ways
Which is why this thread about one game not working correctly will turn into a 12 page flame-fest
Wow never knew one could have so many problems lol, I have like 0 problems and any problems appear I just wack in the ghost cd and within 10 mins all my problems have been solved.
I do like consoles better than PC's at the moment though, this is because consoles have a lot more better games than the PC such as GT5P, GTA IV etc... What does the PC have? Crymark07?... Ok the PC has its fair share of good games but its just so dead in PC gaming at the moment, mabe not for some people.

Ummm, of course its because consoles are standard, where pc's consist of loads of different setups, that makes them a bit more stable. Thats stating the obvious. But thats why I will generally stick to the 360... not saying they are faultless.
I was not arguing about which was better/more stable/more capable - you were implying that user error is responsible for most of peoples issues on PC, and I was disagreeing with that.
But now you seem to have changed your argument to the sheer amount of possible PC configurations being responsible?
Well, whatever your argument, just try and accept that for many people, perhaps the prospect of gaming on a console is less hassle than a pc, and that not everyone who has had issues on pc is directly responsible for those problems.
How's about any FPS there is?
Free downloadable content?
Free usermade mods?
Mass Multiplayer Online games?
User defineable custom resolutions?
Games that cost £20 rather than £40?
Non-cumbersome upgrade paths?
Console games, but without the FPS drops?

You are right. I shall stop trying to get my point across now, because it will only descend into fireballs at dawn
As a PC gamer, I would have to say that there is one area PC gamers miss out on - and that is the true social effect.
I play WoW and some other multiplayer PC games, but the whole PC "setup" is so big (Main machine, monitor per person, desk etc) that apart from LANs, you end up playing on your own most of the time, and TeamSpeak/Vent is a poor substitute.
When I was at uni everyone, even the girls played console games, why? Because it was 4am, everyone was hammered and playing Tekken tag tournament on PS2 whilst having a laugh. The TV was visible to everyone, and later when we switched to mario kart even more people got involved.
That is the main bonus for Consoles, oh and they just work. Everything else is mediocre or can be done better on PCs :
Better graphics /scalability
Better control / control options (keyboard/mouse/controller +)
More space on hard disk means more content more complex models etc
More memory means more onscreen at the same time
Newer PCs can still play older games through emulation etc
Unfortunately, technical issues is one of the downsides, as OP has experienced...

ugh one of my hard drives is knackered but still has a lot of data i need, so it's a case of of using my other one, and occasionally going into it each time i'm on pc, to see what i can salvage before the next Io error 
Need to get xp on one of the old hdd's I've got knocking around, to see if partition magic can fix it

Nice list of 8 games there...
I was talking about games, imo the consoles have more interesting games but thats my opinion.
You didn't enjoy Stalker, Portal, Episode 2, TF2, Supreme Commander, Forged Alliance, World in Conflict, Company of Heroes OF, C&C3, COD4, The Witcher, Crysis, Bioshock, Medieval 2, GOW, UT3 etc? Shame.
GTA4 isn't out yet. GTA5P is barely a third of a game. Don't get me wrong I like my 360/PS3, but haven't played the 360 in about five months now and all I've played on my PS3 since getting it is Drakes and a bit of Motorstorm.
