My gaming is mostly limited to consoles. I'm not a PC gamer whatsoever. I would never trade off a controller for a mouse and keyboard. No way in hell. I'm old school.

I have been quite impressed with the PRO 900's that have been mentioned a couple of times in this thread. Running them straight stereo (without DH) yields the best results by far.

I agree, and before the flamers barge in it's a comfort thing for me. I can only play for about 20 minutes before I get uncomfortable on the PC, and I have fairly good gear. I would much rather be sitting back on a couch feet up in front of a 50-inch than hunched over a desk.
Also PC's are exponentially more expensive and fall behind in a year's time, and there will always be discrepancies in level of skill amongst PC gamers because there is so much variation on performance. Consoles I think are on a much more fair playing field in that aspect.
You are actually quite wrong about PC's being cost prohibitive in comparison to consoles. Add the 1500 dollars to the cost of your console for that TV. As well console's used to cost about $500-$600 when they first came out. A 5 year old $600-700 dollar PC can still easily play games at the same graphical quality as consoles. You have to remember that most games on console are only in 640p and 30fps with no anti aliasing. I build a budget PC every 2 years and I recycle old parts like DVD drive, power supply, and hard drives. Doing this keeps my costs down every time I upgrade. You also get added freedom in the bargain mods for games, whatever control style you want, whether it be, mouse and keyboard, controllers, steering wheels, or flight sticks. Games are also cheaper so you save money there. I guarantee the first time you saw 1080p with 8x AA, 16xAF, and tesselation at 60fps you would never go back to console gaming ever again.
I do own a PS3 simply to play the Uncharted series which is the only game worth buying a console for. I'm not flaming people for using consoles, I just don't think most console players ever think about how low the quality of the visuals are in comparison to even a budget gaming PC.

you can do all that on pc too...also the whole pc thing always falling back in time is a load of crap. yes technology is always advancing but do you always need the latest and greatest? no. it can also be as cheap or cheaper then console gaming if you build your rig and know what parts your looking for and can last well over few years. building is not hard at all. everything is color coordinated so special people can do it too.
you can play from a coach with controller of choice and most games if not all nowadays being devloped has full support for the 360 controller. i use my 360 controller on my pc or m/k it depends. people think console gaming is always cheaper but the people that say that never include there big ol' hdtv price in the equation. so yea....
i been gaming since the NES days and day of when the first doom hit windows 95 on the computer so i had experience and love for both console and pc gaming. just do reaserch and ask around. that's all it takes. don't go by what ''he say she say'' thing or mainstream media especially shows like G4. they don't know crap and get paid what to say.
