Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

You can set a game launcher to automatically start on boot, have it go full screen, and use a controller from across the room to install or start your games. You can also set up automatic OS updates. Once it's configured it's really a non-issue. I also wouldn't say it's "so much more expensive." It certainly can be, but there are decent machines for sale around $800.
