I don't do any gaming on my PC, but I thought to run COD4, Bioshock, etc., you had to have a $200+ graphics card. That right there is 50-75% of the entire cost of a console. If you don't need something like that, then I can see your point.
The biggest issue for me is that I want to be in my living room on the 1080p when I'm playing a game. I have 2 PCs and 3 laptops, but I prefer the console for games. I guess a part of it boils down to personal choice.
You just need a sweet gaming den like what Daseal has...

Ugh. This is the first I'm hearing of this. I just received my HDDVD player for my legacy 360 (no HDMI) two days ago. Not cool.
I guess I'll have to do something when HDCP HDDVDs start hitting the shelves.
Luckily, HDCP is in the media. That is, each disc either has it or doesn't - they can't "add it in" later. I haven't heard of any stupidios incorporating it for HD-DVD yet.
Also, to be clear - your HDCP movies will play without HDCP, just not at HD resolutions. I think they get scaled down to 480p, but I'm not positive on that.

Yeah the graphic requirements for COD4, Bioshock, Gears of War, etc., are pretty high from what I understand, if you want to get the full potential out of the game.
It's definitely an issue of personal choice. For me I just like the ease of buying a console and not having to worry if a game will come out tomorrow that my computer can't handle.

LOL that's a sweet setup
Love the knobs on that 12 inch monitor.
Is that a recent pic of Daseal? I didn't know he smoked. ;)
