A gaming pc is more expensive than a console ?

WARxSnake, max out COD 4 @ 1024x768 and get pretty crappy frames. Sure! Now I know you have no idea as to what you're talking about. LoL!
DaGamingGod

okay let me elaborate because you are obviously a fanboy or just really narrow minded. you're telling me you need to upgrade every 2 to 3 years. i told you a 6800gt can max out cod4. what prevents you from lowering some settings to medium to get a better framerate. if someone wants to stick to old hardware, my point is that he can without the game looking like trash. do you even know that pc games come with gfx settings?

About TC!

PC as a "console" its indeed far more expensive than console. Its a fact -end of story

Its a fact also that it offers (game-wise because thats what we are talking now) a lot more than any single console.Name a few:

1)Best BC there is. You can play easily all PC games since 1996. Thats what i call BC.. :)

2)Great FPS-RTS-MMORPG experience. Not only because of the controls/internet gaming but because of teh BIG community-tournaments helding worldwide and the competition there is thru these games. Totally pownage for FPS-RTS-MMOs gamers.

3)A system that is plays ALL previous gen console-handheld games and even ARCADE titles via Emu. And when i say ALL i mean it. So what ,it got BC on consoles too? Oo Thats pownage too !! :) ( Its legal by law to download and play these games,when you got already teh originals)

4)Great free and not only,online gaming experience.From the simplest yahoo-google games to the more advanced WEB-mmos or Free mmorpgs/shooters games. You easily can find such a game via thousands over the internet and have fun with other users/gamers aroudn the globe.

5) Technically and graphically (not to mention content wise) gaming on PC is the higest quality for any multiplatform game till today. (With so little exceptions that cant think of one). For example Gears of War. Extra content and all with some scenes never seen before on 360 etc. Thats a plus for PC. (Even if i dont know whats the differences ppl and dev talking a bout because i never finished teh game on 360).

6)Mods,mods and again mods. Lets sya youre fan of HL2 and source engine. You can play via other circumstances and gameplay or even story modes of your favorite games.And guess what .. FOR FREE!!! Thats add a lot of value to games.Considering that and the fact that you can find the best new PC titles for 29 to 39euros (via 59 to 79euros for consoles) its another plus for PC gaming.

Because lets say till the end of this gen youll buy 10-20 console games. Youll spend around 599/700 to 1298/1400 euros via 299/598 to 399/798 euros. The difference of these prices can fill up the difference of hardware price(if you bought a high end PC ). And there you go.

Now if you cant live without SMG or MGS4 or any other high quality game that wont find its way on the PC,then a console is for you :). And plz dont start with the upgrades PCs need, because i own a PC 5 years now and still im playing COD4 on 1024x768 max setting with nice frames,and havent upgrade it since then even once.

The thing is simple.

You want to play what consoles can offer or PC? And you can make your choice,for your tastes and your wallet.

They probably think it's cheaper because they download most of they're games.

proof that you are a blind fanboy, i just said not even 2 minutes ago that a 6800gt can max out cod4 and then you can start lowering some gfx settings to get it to run at 30fps. you are blind and you will give me a break because you are wasting my time. and i never said pc gaming was cheaper, link me to that post now. you are so blind you dont even know who said what. i only commented on graphics cards having the same lifetime as a console. GOOD JOB READING posts you fanboy. jesus christ.

Wrong! You typed that a 6800GT can max out COD 4 plain and simple. We both know it can't because it cannot run it at a decent fps. That's like saying I can max out Crysis using a 6600GT.DaGamingGod

Don't compare Crysis with COD4 . COD is way better optimized . And yes , you can almost max out cod 4 with 6800gt and a good cpu and have a playable fps . The fact that you could change some options is a big advantage .

They probably think it's cheaper because they download most of they're games.

could you just stop posting stupid things and read the whole topic ? or just say a good argument?

2gb of memory for 35 dollars? umm where?wildwild

lol damn newbies! No offense but come on ... WTH! 35 $ isnt even enough for joystick.

evilsoul121, I was making a point as to how an older card could run most games but not some of the newest as in Crysis or Far Cry 2. In order for them to do so, they would have to upgrade. Anyways, Crysis might not be fully optimized but it does look better than COD 4 in my opinion which is why it needs a pretty powerful rig to run it. Although, COD 4 does look nice itself mind you.

Btw, the poster typed how it was possible to max out COD 4 using a 6800GT. Not "almost" max it out.

As for your 8800GTS rig outputting better gfx than the PS3 in 6 years, I doubt that. You never know but I really doubt it.

Who cares if a PC costs more than a console? It does everything that a console does and it does it better IMO. I have no problem spending upwards of $3,000 US on my PC cause I actually use it for many different things. I use my PC from everything from entertainment to actually using it to make money. The PC pays for itself over time for sure.MadExponent

I use my PC for more than the average person does hence why I usually spend alot. My PC is part of my home theater and I store terrabytes worth of movies in Bluray and HDDVD format. Most of my money goes into storage. I have a seriously connected house so everything is on a Gb wired/300Mbit Wireless network. The computer in my sig will cost me ALOT less than $3,000.00 obviously. Some of the stuff is already in the machine I am currently running on.

As for your PS2 being able to play PS3 games, well that's just a dumb question. What if I had asked you if I could run Xbox 360 games on my PS3? The point is, the PS2 is still getting new games after 8 years and you won't have to upgrade at all to play them.

2gb of memory for 35 dollars? umm where?wildwild

Anywhere. DDR2 type of memory had a huge price drop.

Bebi_vegeta, in "theorie"? Yeah, ok bud. What's with kids wanting to argue about old crap cards running the latest games? You enjoy your 8800GTS 6 years from now while I game on my consoles and high end PC bud. Argue with someone else now. Enjoy!

Btw, what you're doing is TYPING. You're not "writing". "Theorie" is also spelled theory.

Am I the ONLY PC gamer that admits to upgrading components every year?

From the time I bought my 360 on launch to the day they stop making PS3 games I will have spent at least three times what all three consoles this generation ended up costing me to buy on various PC upgrades.

Every one of these "look at my cheap gaming PC" thread always seems to have a PC that I can use today with today's games but will require at least some sort of upgrade be it software or hardware in the near future.

PC gaming done right is expensive, so what?

If you can afford it, and its worth it to you then who cares if an Xbox 360 is 249.99 and a amazing PC is nearly a grand?

You get what you pay for, and the fact that PC gaming is pricey is a reality but who cares?

If you want high end graphics do you buy a Wii because it was the most cost effective at launch? No.

I am not sure why Hermits keep trying to sell the console crowd on "cheap" PC gaming with these TERRIBLE gaming rigs that people keep posting,

If you have a high end car I would suspect that you don't take it to jiffy lube for oil changes and put 87 octane gas in the tank. And if you are really into PC gaming you would buy a good system and keep it up to date, regardless of cost.

Here is the deal. you first Gaming PC Build will cost way more than a consol. but then after that all you halfto do is upgrade youre graphics card witch usually costs half the price of a new consol. so usually you can yuse youre PC for maby 15 years Longer if you get the best tech at the time (thats 15 years if you Keep upgrading to the BEST graphics card out)

(this is all a possibility i dont think it has ben done)

hofuldig

No it's not a possibility. You will start lagging off preatty good after 3 years, even if you bought top shelf components.
There no point buying a good graphics card to an outdated system because other components in it will bottleneck. Like the CPU for an example.
The CPU manufacturers changes socket almost every second to third year so it eleminates the possibility to upgrade it.
The expansion card interface also changes from time to time. It wasn't so long ago PCIe replaced AGP.

Do you think we have no use of the CPU at all? Imagine if you today could've run a 8800GTS with an Intel Pentium, how do you think that whould've worked?

Do you think you can somehow forget the monitor, keyboard, and mouse?Relys

It isn't necessary buying new ones. Many people just buy a new comp.

But I can get you a PC for about 600$ playing higher then 600p on COD4.

Put at it this way: When your game is more demanding than Crysis and it doesn't look as good, then it shows that a bad job has been done with the optimization.
