At first console might be cheaper but then services like msoft live and the consolemakers tax on games evens out the difference quite a bit.

Live Gold 12 * 16,50€ = 198€.
You pay up to 15-20€ more (this seems to be like a rule) per game on the consoles. If you buy say 40 games during the consoles lifetime you have paid som 600-800€ more for games than on PC.
Add in a cost of the box 398€ and you come up with 1200€ (+live 1400€) that buys you a very decent pc especially if you reuse som of the old components (like power, case, harddrive, dvd-player, windowsxp, etc).
So in the end console isnt that much cheaper than PC really. I do own ps2 though but only because they dont release som of its games on PC and the thin version is so small and cheap (120€ dvdcase-size).
