Gaming PCs (the superior ones everyone talks about) can be up to $3500.00 in some cases, which is way more than a 360 or a PS3. If you are dropping $500.00 on a PC from Wal-Mart it will look nowhere near as good as a 360 or a PS3.

Anyone that keeps saying the PC is better crap needs to take their Chevy Cavalier P.O.S. to the nearest dealership and sell it so they can buy a Aston Martin, because you know they are superior to cavaliers and neons right? I don't have three grand to drop on a PC every 5 years. When my gaming needs get to that point, I will stop playing these games altogether. I do have $500.00 for a console and to me that makes the 360 and PS3 superior.


Now on the topic of PS3 versus 360. It is really down to the game library now. Graphics are pretty much equal on both systems. If you don't feel like dropping extra money for xbox live, the PS3 is for you. If you got an extra $50.00 a year, they xbox live is pretty nice. Don't worry about a particular console having a certain game that you musty play. Each system has very good games that are exclusive.

Now for me, I think people should have both systems. They have both been out for awhile and if you could afford to drop $400.00 in one or the other 5 years ago, then I don't see a reason why you can't buy the other system now. Five years ago, the choice would have been easier, because the 360 had better graphics and games. That has all changed now and anyone can get a lot of enjoyment out of both systems. Both companies have stressed that they want 7-10 years out of each system, so if you don't have both, then pick the other up.

Anyways if we are going to keep this debate up, shouldn't we go to this thread?

BTW, I am not saying the PC isn't the best. You get what you pay for and I would rather pay $400.00 for my gaming needs. I have way more things to spend my money on that an expensive PC.

You can buy PC's with better hardware than consoles for about the same price, AlienWare is rediculously overpriced, most of the time its like they have a 400% increase on the cost of building the computer. (Dell etc arnt much better, you can get a much better deal at somewhere like tigerdirect).

However I still like to sit back on my sofa with just a pad in my hands and chill playing on the main tv.

Yes I know the PC can be set up like if you so wish, but the sort of games I like playing on the console, I prefer on the console.
I'd not try, or wish to try Lego games, or Saints Row etc as they work perfectly fine as they are with a simple console controller.

I could never see my leaning back on the sofa with a keyboard on my lap while trying to control a mouse while playing a MMO. Yes once again, you'd have a lap table or some nonsense, but its an extra item needed in the house.
At the moment I can turn off my PC, finsih painting or whatever, grab a pad, fire up the console and just play, its simple and I like it that way.


Regarding the OP, still no game on the PS3 that has forced my hand to get one yet.
Not sure thats going to change for the moment, nothing I've spotted due this spring summer anyway. Maybe something at E3 will catch my eye?

So the forseeable future Xbox 360 only for me.
