I became a 100% PC gamer years ago. I owned a 360, a PS3, and a Wi each of which bit the dust over time. Before the P3 died it spent it's last two years as a dedicated Netflix box. I hate having all the physical media around, I hate shitty console DRM and the inflexibility of their console interfaces for non game content.

It's a more expensive to get a decent gaming computer, but a decent gaming computer is upgradable and more powerful and flexible than consoles. Many of my favorite games have lots of free mods (free content!) that you can't find on their console equivalents. I love steam and GoG's, takes less time and effort to manage my collection via their services and I never scratch or lose a disk.
