    It’s not laziness; it’s time. I’ve got three kids and a full time job. If I sit down to play a game and I’m spending that time fiddling with drivers or trying to figure out why the video isn’t displaying on my tv, then I don’t get to play a game.

    I swear, PC snobs are worse than recipe writers about underestimating prep time.

      “Fiddling with drivers” means pressing UPDATE on your graphics driver once every couple of months, even less frequently if you don’t play the newest AAA Games.

      Getting the screen to display takes the same time as with a console: Once while setting up and usually amounts to “Plug in the chord”.

      If you want to play on console you do you, but this shouldn’t be your reason.
