Often because the ports of good games come out months or years after console version, when most people gave up and bought the console version already. Also many ports are very lazy, GTA4 for example. The game runs like garbage on even the highest end hardware because the port was not optimized for PC very well. Given a choice between a game on a console and the same one on a pc, I take the pc version 90% of the time.

When I read the headline, I thought they literally meant a breathalyzer, to keep drunk people off PCs. I could probably use one, it would cut down on the drunk IMs and facebook posts.

Because I like having more than a pittance of songs available, and I don't feel like paying tons of money to get a new fancy phone that will even play music. As for the topic at hand, I have a Zune 80, and I think it's THE best music player I have ever owned. I have a ton of music, and now that Creative dropped the ball on their hard drive players, the only choices for >30 GB are miscrosoft and Apple. The zune was cheaper, has more features, and the interface blows any ipod I've ever used out of the water. While I don't especially agree with the software being locked to windows, I think its very user friendly. Now, if you could show me a phone with more than 30 gigs of storage for music, that is as easy to use as my zune, and costs what my zune and current phone did ($200+0), then I might consider using a phone instead of a dedicated mp3 player.
