My laptop's five years old and probably as good as yours then.
I must admit the downside to computers is the choice (if you buy one), construction (if you build it yourself; it's cheaper that way) and set-up. Consoles you just buy, plug in and play.

I've found perfectly good video cards and RAM chips at £50 a piece, about $85 for you (but since your currency is worth less than mine I assume you have more of it anyway).
The trick is buying the individual parts and putting it together oneself, then it ends up considerably cheaper, probably more exapensive than a console, but definitely cheaper than buying a computer and console seperately.
