actually if buy console, less money to do upgrading work.i think console last longer in terms of availability. look at PS2 now. how many years already and its still selling outside there.games also tonnes of them still. even need for speed undercover also available for PS2 (although graphics do sux compare to PC,but then, i play wif max setting wif a mainstream Graphic card also not tht fast, 20-40++ fps).

for me, i'll see wat kind of game to play. if those fighting game like tekken, king of fighter and upcoming street fighter 4, hv to buy console already. PC dun hv these. or if u like gran turismo racing game series from PS1 days, PS3 is ur only choice since its exclusive for PS3.

for PC, i think u need to buy a new monitor also. u said u hv a 37inch LCD TV. if u hook it to ur PC, it will require a good graphic card to support it since i feel tht its using very high resolution which a mid range pc can hardly handle.

the life line for console estimate is around 8 years from the launching of the product. for pc, i feel tht its only abt 5 years for a mid range pc from my own experience.nowadays i tot PS3 also can surf internet? even a PSP also has a browser.btw, i dun think PS4 is going to launch anytime soon. the PSP2 (not PSP-2000 or PSP slim,i'm talking abt the upcoming dual screen PSP and its not nintendo DS) also hvnt come out yet. it was said to be a perfect 'partner' for PS3.
