6. It Never Gets Old
With a PC you never have to worry about your hardware becoming outdated, your machine will simply evolve. Unlike the console market which every six years or so prepares to trundle out a new machine with an over the top marketing-blitz. In many cases this means all the games you loved playing so much back in the day are now redundant. I loved Goldeneye for the old Nintendo 64. If I fancy a blast of nostalgia it involves a climb into the loft and a load of hassle to dig the machine out. Not the case with one of my favourite PC games, Half Life, I simply pop the disc into my machine and I can enjoy it as easily as that. The PC is a veritable legacy of gaming, not a pause for a moment in time.
