Admit it Hermits, no PC beats PS3 in value and accessablity. Admit it...

OK. We have a man called Peter and its his birthday today. He has got so many presents from his family members.

From Dad: A 26 inch HD 1080p monitor that can connect to a wide range of equipment inlcuding consoles and PC's. And a Wi-fi router so he can connect his iphone and DS to internet.

From Mum: He got his favourite movie trilogy The Matrix Trilogy on Blu-Ray.

From older brother: he got Call of duty 4 for PS3.

From younger brother: he didn't know that older brother got COD4 so he accidently got COD4 for PC as a present.

From Rich uncle: State of the art Speaker system/reciever, 7.1 and capable of decoding Dolby True HD and DTS HD.

From rich Aunt: Didn't know what to get for Peter so gave him £430 as a gift.

Hmm, so Peter has a problem. He is skint (from last nights party) and only has £430 money left from aunt. Should he get a PC or a PS3? With £430 he can buy a 60 GB PS3 (£399), HDMI cable (£19.99) and coaxial cable for Digital sound (£10). Connects it up with ease, inserts game WITHOUT INSTALLATION and enjoys his birthday. Thereafter to finish the day he can watch Matrix.

Wow, it really is a hard decision to make isn't it hermits? You can't get what Peter needs for that day with £430. Try and beat it. Yeah I thought so.

*edit* Peter is a casual gamer, he don't care how many AAA games systems have. He dosn't even know what it is. And he doesn't even know what 1080p means.

Too bad the PS3 is the most overpriced and infirior gaming machine on the market, a PC stomps it in games and features.

PS3 other than MGS4 has nothing superb, why would I waste £300 on it?

Good for peter, i know this guy called paul though, it was also his birthday.

His rich uncle asked him what he wanted, he told him to get him some thing that could edit/burn home movies onto DVD. Something that could download and burn music CD's. Something that could help him with his homework. Something that he could use to browse the web with ease and keep in touch with friends via chat programs and e-mail. He also told him he wanted to play all the latest games at HD resolutions with amazing graphics.

His uncle came back the next day with a 600 pound pc that had an 8800gtx inside.

Peter should sell both copies of COD4 and buy the better 360 version along with an Xbox 360 to play it on. Conanfan1

You know, lemmings are far more creative when making a flame-bait threads. Cows just aren't cut out for this, I think...

Besides, I don't think that Peter would really enjoy playing MGS4 over and over and over again, 'cause from where I'm standing, there's really nothing more to "pee-es-tripple"...

Why would he get given CoD4 for PS3 when he doesnt even have a PS3. And making up fictioanl people is like what People from the Apprentice make.

Anyway if hes a casual, he can buy a ocmptuer which can play the Sims 2, a very casual game. He can also word prcoess, email, etc, etc,

yes it is. Some take ages. Its annoying.

So peter comes home with a PS3 and some PS3 games when he puts one in and has to wait for the 20 minute 5 gigabyte installation.

Peter:"Man what kind of crappy console is this? I have to install the games? WTF? Screw this I'll get a PC. If I had known this console was going to have Installations I would have gone with PC."

Peter sells his PS3 and gets a PC. He thinks to himself that it was the best thing he did in his entire life.

Any gamer with a decent PC can play CoD 4.

And I hope you realise Blu-ray will become mainstream when things actually get competitive at the PC hardware industry. Until then, Blu-ray will still be pretty much hardcore so noone really cares that much about it now. DVD is still the most mainstream format.

OK. We have a poster called r_gam3 and he makes a thread asking how a PC as cost-effective as a PS3 can be made. He has got so many replies from his fellow posters.

From angelkimme: A PC with 2GB of RAM, a 8600 GT and a Dual Core for 1 pound cheaper. (He later complains about a lack of standard household items like a KB/M and monitor, obviously ignoring that these items are much more common than, say, a HDTV, which he won't factor into the cost of a PS3).

From com2006: He got a PC which was 60 pounds more expensive than the PS3. Obviously that 60 pounds was more important than the limitless value that PC would have over the PS3. It's not like the thread was about cost-effectiveness or anything.

From OmegaOrtera: he got a PC from newegg, costing $570 US dollars (around 290 pounds), that again, craps all over the PS3 in value and function.

From sadovic: he got another PC that was cheaper than the PS3, which again beats it out in performance. it doesn't have a blu-ray drive, so r_gam3 latches onto that for dear life (even though the PC doesn't need Blu-ray). A technicality can perhaps save some semblance of his argument.

Hmm, so r_gam3 has a problem. He received enough replies to make his thread about cost-effectiveness look entirely foolish. Should he get concede defeat or make himself look worse? With another thread, he can distance himself from the horrible chain of people pointing out fault in his logic, quoting him, and attempt to start fresh with new posters.

What's more, he can funnel his argument into a contrived situation about someone who knows nothing about games libraries, and apparently thinks the PS3 doesn't have installations.

*edit* r_gam3 is a fanboy, he don't care how many AAA games the PC has if it weakens his point. He dosn't even know what value is, despite making a thread claiming to analyse it. Pity him.

and he wants his imaginary friend to suffer and watch the matrix trilogy, thats just cruel.jg4xchamp

Not as cruel as his mother getting him the Matrix trilogy on Blu-ray, despite the fact he has no Blu-ray player.

Or his older brother getting him COD 4 on PS3, despite him not owning the console.

Peter should sell both copies of COD4 and buy the better 360 version along with an Xbox 360 to play it on. Conanfan1

You seem to be confused, Peter did not receive two copies of COD4 on PS3, he received a PC one too. If he sold that model, getting the 360 version would be trading down.

Not as cruel as his mother getting him the Matrix trilogy on Blu-ray, despite the fact he has no Blu-ray player.

I would pay 300 pounds to not watch the Matrix 2 and 3.

Lol, the older brother gave him CoD 4 for PS3 even though he didn't have it yet.Supafly1

and 3 blue ray's with no blue ray player and cod4 for pc with no pc to play on, weird family ey?

I still cant understand why are u comparing a $430 ps3 to a PC. A Pc can do so much more plus gaming. Wanna compare something is more logical to compare a vga. And what if peter wants a Pc( u know for writing in forums or ripping audio cd's or downloading movies ) should he give $430 for PS3 and another $400 for PC or give $400-500 for a Pc plus $150-200 for a good VGA ( considering that the $400-500 Pc will have a crappy vga at first )adamosmaki

PS3 has a browser to get on the web and can use Linux for bittorrent and the rest you said:)

Too bad the PS3 is the most overpriced and infirior gaming machine on the market, a PC stomps it in games and features.

PS3 other than MGS4 has nothing superb, why would I waste £300 on it?

You have no say in anything considering you spent about the same amount on the 360 when you have a perfectly working PC which disables the reason for owning a 360 when all 360 games that are worth playing come out with 16AA and better graphics and mods, improvisions upon 360 versions faults, also you pay for xbox live and probably waste money on upgrading your pc every few months which practically is throwing away money, and you dare try to debate a blu-ray player, linux player, free online network, video game that scored better than the entire 360 exclusive library, compatible with ps2/ps1 games *Except the 40GB that can't play ps2 games*, also able to install windows, free built in wi fi, and you dare try to debate value?Do you really want to talk about wasting money herming?
