Thread: PS3 or Xbox360

But PC gaming is still leagues better than any other gaming platform.

Funny how that works, huh?

Once you buy them, they're yours, and that's it.

While it is true that piracy happens more often on PC, a lot of your statements are incorrect. It has been proven a lot of times, that good games sell, bad games are pirated. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a good example of this.
About the whole reselling thing, publishers have actually said, that the reason they're putting anti-resale restrictions on their games, is because they don't want people to resell them. Publishers know by now, that stopping piracy is impossible. It can't be done. You can only prevent people from using the online features, which is what they do. But they can still easily prevent reselling. So they do that instead.

And they will do exactly the same on consoles eventually. It has already begun with initiatives like Steamworks.
