I think both are quite distinct, but some people wouldn't touch video games at all - seemingly afraid of them - while enjoying movies.

Video games are more fun. Because you can actually play them and they don't end after one hour and 50 minutes.

Video games by far. I have a hard time watching movies (especially ones over two hours long), because I get restless and feel like I should be "doing something". I usually get bored halfway through and end up watching the movie over three or four nights.

Video games. They're more relaxing and really get me into them quickly.

Definitely movies. I have long suffered with poor fine motor skills and terrible coordination. That makes video games near impossible.

Movies. I'm not very good at video games. My lack of skill at them frustrates me, but I never get frustrated while watching a good movie. The only skill movie-watching requires is sitting still for 2 hours. :)

I prefer movies over video games. I can be on WP while watching a movie. I can't do that when I'm playing video games.

While I play videogames more frequently, they can't compare to how much I enjoy good cinema.

It depends on the video game and how addicted to it I am at the moment. The older I get though, the more I appreciate films.

I like movies more, they are not addicting.

Seeing as how videogames are now made to get the target addicted...

Movies, because I have a *horrible* reaction time, and you need a quick reaction time to play most video games...when I start learning them most people don't have the patience as I'm just that slow. The exception that I've discovered recently is through PC games, which often just rely on a few keys and a mouse to perform actions.

My diagnoses - social anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder.

I’m no longer involved with the ASD world.

I loved video-games as a kid but I haven't been playing them much sense I graduated because I got a computer & became addicted to the net. I'm going say I like movies more now because i can watch them on comp & pause to check email & other things on comp or just minimize the player window while listening during a slow scene. I have bad ADD & cant focus for long

I don't really play games, but I like to watch them being played.
