Yet another reason why buying a game on a console is probably a better investment.

I recently tried to load a game on my PC (Civ IV) to play from a couple years ago. It doesn't work with my current OS, or graphics card, or motherboard, or drivers, or.... etc.

I gave up. And yet I can still plug my Nintendo in and play Mario like it's 1987.

I don't have time anymore to fiddle around with my rig just to get a game to play. Consoles are cheaper and far more reliable (yes, even the Xbox360!).
