I really thought about getting a PS3 because it had the blueray for 50 bucks more than 360. But then again, I've been a PC gamer for a while so I also thought about getting some upgrades including a new mobo, videocard, and a set of memory. ( I still have AGP with a single processor which plays COD4 with med/low settings) I own 2 of the portable consoles as well. What would your advice be? I hope I'm posting this on the right forum. (I wish I knew how to make poles on this forum)

im no expert on pc so i cant help you there but the 360 pwns the ps3 dont get caught up with blu ray it doesnt make up for the fact that it has far less games compared the the 360 and it has worse online. the 360 is far better.

System recommendation threads aren't allowed, and Christaph, you should take it to system wars with that crap.

...and those opinions are better suited to system wars. We don't openly troll systems here in the GGD.

...ok, this is gonna be for the topic...

PS3 had its advantages,download demos, videos and bluray movies have a very good picture.

While with PC you can use all kinds of programs, that require a lot of performance, games...

So I guess, youll have to decide what to buy.

I would go with the PC....

if you still have AGP, than you are seriously far behind anyway.

Yeah, but far enough behind that I think he needs more than $500 to get decently caught up.
