If anyone has a big PC collection I would love to see it and I would like to hear others opinions on this. Personally I think the only way PC game collecting is coming is digitally. Threw programs like steam and what not.

The exception will be The Witcher 2 Collector's Edition, which looks to be the best collector's edition in the history of video games. Edited by Richard, Apr 8 2011, 01:45 PM.

My internet isn't the greatest either, plus I like actually owning the game so I don't waste bandwidth downloading it. Shame they are doing away with the manuals though, I used to like reading them.

I totally agree with you on the manuals, I always feel so much more informed after thumbing threw one. Im sorry about my spelling on the topic earlier as well I was half asleep >.<

The problem with PC gaming is that the hardware requirements vary from game to game and not everyone is able to meet them. That's not to say that every game requires you to have a top-of-the-line, tricked-out gaming PC, but many do and this turns people off. Consoles are generally more affordable, easier to use for many people and you can be assured that any game purchased will work. The PC definitely has it's place in gaming, but consoles are definitely a better option for many people. Edited by browland1, Apr 8 2011, 04:20 PM.
