There are some people that will only play games on a console and others that will only play on a PC. However there are good and bad things to say for both and so if you are considering which one to use to play games on, then it is worth giving it some serious thought.

If you already have a PC but do not have a games console then it is worth considering whether it is worth paying out the money for a console. These can be very expensive and every game that you play on it also costs money. This will mean that you will be spending a lot, however, you may have plenty of money or feel that it is worth it.

PC games can be expensive but there are a lot of free games as well. This means that you can have a go at playing many different things without having to worry about how much this will cost. However, there are many high profile games that get released for games consoles but they are not available for the PC. Some games are but not all of them and so you have to consider whether this is worth the risk or not.

If you have only one PC in the house and it is frequently used by other members of the family then you may find that your game playing is interrupted. However, if you have the console on the main television that other people use then you may be restricted in playing time on that as well. This means that you have to consider which might be the most convenient for you and the family with regards to other uses.

If you have neither a console or a PC then it can be hard to decide which to buy. A PC has other functions other than gaming, but this does not mean that you will use the other functions. Therefore it is rather a tricky decision to make. It may depend on the cost, although you could get either second hand which could reduce the cost. However, these will be later versions and they may not be compatible with all of the latest games or they may run slowly which cold make playing games difficult.

Therefore it is worth considering what games you want to play, if you know. Then you will be able to buy the device that will work the best with the games that you want to play. It is also worth considering what devices your friends and family have. It could be possible for you to swap games with them or to borrow them from them so it is worth investigating this.

It is also worth reading reviews to find out about which models are most reliable and consider which might last the longest and therefore give you the best value for money. You will also need to think about the cost of it as well and how much you can afford to pay.

Some people end up having a games console, but also play games on their PC and on their smart phone, but you will have to decide whether this is something that you want to do and can afford to do or whether you would rather restrict your gaming to one device.
