I dunno I can't decide.

I can get a cheap 500 dollar PC from Best Buy with Vista or a PS3 with Metal Gear Solid 4

My current PC is horrible and I have never owned any of the Next Gen consoles.

Are you sure that the $500 PC is not horrible either?

May I ask what the specs of your current pc are, and the specs of the one you are planning on purchasing?

Or you can get a super-cheap $250 computer from WalMart and a Wii with the other $250. Win-Win.

500 bucks isn't much for a comp, even if you don't want to use it for games... but I still think it's more important than a ps3.

actually if you have 500 bucks for a computer here are 2 options I'd highly consider instead of a best buy one, they are both gaming PC's and for $500 they are pretty good

Newegg is a really great company to buy from so I'd highly recommend it!

yes for 500 they are pretty good, they can run crysis on low.. and everyone other game on Medium to high so it's not a bad PC

Games will look as good as PS3, easily. Just won't get MGS4.
