Is an HTPC an option? Steam recently launched the Big Picture software which makes couch PCs better and easy to navigate. Using mITX boards or micro-pre builts (like the Alienware x51) makes HTPCs much more enticing.
Something like this would be an idea for a person like myself, except that PC gamers tend to get dealt a healthy does of harsh sodomy when it comes to sports titles. I'd say 80% of my gaming is sports titles, and I don't tend to replay shooters and their ilk unless they have a pretty massive open-world (i.e. GTA). Combine that with the fact that I like swapping games with my buddies, and the digital distribution isn't a huge draw for me either. That being said, I love playing sims, RTS, and strategy games, and can get pretty into RPGs, but largely don't play them because they're garbage on consoles and my laptop isn't powerful enough to run them.

So I guess in conclusion, I blame EA.
