I,m no realy botherd that much by sitting in a chair maybe you sit in one of those chairs with that dont have a pillow on it
Wait, You're uncomfortable..sitting down... in your chair? Interesting.
Anyway, I always sit in a chair at home, or on my bed with my back against the wall when I'm at college. I can't play games lying down.

The only real time PC gaming is uncomfortable is when you are trying to do it on a laptop. PC games are almost always worth playing on the PC, even if there is a console version available to play. Your question is loaded. It's like asking 'Is it worth playing xbox live with all these douche-bags?'. It hardly encompasses the entire populations experience. Sometimes I enjoy oblivion on my xbox, and other times I want better graphics and control that I get by playing it on my desktop. Nothing is keeping you from getting a recliner in your computer room and sitting with that at your computer desk.
What discomfort? Are you actually suggesting the only way to play games is by lying down? Because then I think you're quite alone with that. Most people also play their console games sitting.
Damn, I don't even know how you would go on about trying to play anything lying down. If you're back down, you're going to be peering over yourself (and probably getting your feet in the way), meaning your neck gets tired. If you're sideways, then so is the screen in relation to you.
No, I think most people would have more discomfort trying to play lying down than playing in the usual way and sitting. Also, it would look extra lazy for anyone happening upon the scene.

I spent as much on my chair as my computer (that is to say, around NZ$2000) and now I can game pretty much all day without any back or neck pains. Glory to the silicone lumbar!
Ummn I get RSI when using the consoler.. I actually not play my consoles for this exact reason.. And if there is an option to get the game on pc or console will go the pc route..
I can't game laying down. It's weird and feels awkward, so whether I can lay down or not doesn't effect my choice of platform. Also, it's pretty easy to use a gamepad for a PC, xbox controllers plug straight in and work and PS3 controllers need an easily downloaded driver.
[small]Wow, what a clean and unbiased poll you have here....[/small]
*ahem*
Um...To be completely honest, I don't really understand the question. PC gaming is uncomfortable...because you sit in a chair? What the WHAT? I mean...Are you kidding? You're actually calling sitting in a chair...."discomfort"?
You DON'T mean that, right? Please tell me that's not what you meant.
And as a side note, I think it's absolutely hilarious that you can substitute the phrase "PC gaming" with "A prostate exam" in the title and it still makes perfect sense.

PC gaming is not universally uncomfortable.
It is definitely uncomfortable for me(I hate using keyboards), but its a giant cushy chair to others.

Xbox 360 is hell of a lot more comfortable for me on longer play runs, not due to sitting (as my spots are pretty comfy, actually), but because of the stress on my wrist from the mouse, even when using more wrist-friendly applications and such, it still causes me great annoyance.
Also, why is the OP trying to claim that PC gaming is the "better" experience? I play PC and 360 and love both, only find 360 more comfortable for my wrists, why can't people ever just get along with the whole console vs. personal computer crap?
