Thank you. Good points.  I only play a few MP games once in a while. I
would buy the XBOX or PS mostly to play Madden and a MLB game.
Probably some others that I cannot get on the PC but if I have to
download them I would not do so.  I'd like to play Battefield 1 but I
am not going to leave my PC up running for a couple nights to do so.
