One thing left out by the author is the investment required in order to play video games, the hardware. In order to enjoy those best "bang for your buck" console games, you have to go out and buy a Xbox ($199), Wii ($250), or a PS3 ($399). I could also add in the cost for purchasing a regular TV or an HDTV.

As for a PC, if its a new game it will probably require you to have a computer that isn't 4 years old. That could cost an individual around $800 to play any new game.
On the whole though, I agree that video games do provide a cheaper alternative to most forms of entertainment after the initial investments have been made.
