You forget PC can do more than Just play games. So at $600 a PC can do far more than a PS3 ever could.Pro_wrestler

No.

The PS3 has a few things that the PC can't do, and the PC has a few things that the PS3 can't do. For one thing, you can develop programs on the PS3 if you use linux. Also, the PS3 can use the blu-ray format while the PC currently can't. The PC can obviously do more work-oriented things, though.

PC's can do MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH more than the PS3 can do. Why do PC's need Blu-Ray when they have a much larger storage capacity called a "HARD DRIVE"? I guess you've never heard of it though........

LOL, notice how a PS3 also has a "hard-drive" and notice how the storage capacity grows along with the PC market's, as the PS3 USES THE SAME HARD-DRIVES.  LOL, you think I didn't know that? 

 Laptop's HDD are actually far behind the capacity of desktop's HDD. The PS3 doesn't use the HDD to store the full games though, although it does with much of the game content to help the very slow br drive.

For $250 more dollars than a PS3..you can get a computer that has a E4300, 2gb's of ram, a 8800gts 320mb and a 250gb Hard-drive...

I think I know what is the bettter deal.

Edit: The PS3 used Laptop HDD..there very expensive compared to regular HDD in desktop PC's, actually I don't think they make a 250gb HDD in laptops yet..or they do and they are like $200 dollars :/

I have ran Halo CE max settings at 1024x768 with a 32MB @30fps of on board ram....

Yeah, in price PS3 is almost greater then PC. LOLdimar19

i really dont like this awkward yellow suit designs. looks good other than that.useLOGIC

The funny thing is that it will probably look better on PC once it comes out.:lol:

Do you post anything that isn't bashing the PS3? What computer can you get, with a decent graphics card mind you, that would be able to run Crysis for 600.00 or less that isn't used, stolen, or something else along those lines. Haze looks fine. You're fanboyism is at an all time high lately.

$630, with a GeForce 7950GT and 160GB HDD.

 However you can customize with a 8600GT which can still run Crysis (maybe not on max) and it comes to $595 >>>>> PS3.

Mine.

If I were to take the 2-year-old video card that I have in my 3-year-old computer right now and slap in a 250-300 dollar 8800GTS I would easily outperform any console that is out today.

Hell, my current computer outperforms any console out today.

When you go to some moneytrap like Alienware or Dell and buy a whole prebuilt PC, then you are going to spend a lot of money. If you do what the vast majority of hermits do and upgrade the computer you already have, then the price drops dramatically.

Not a great source, but for a console MULTIPLAT Haze looks fantastic. What's more is I really don't think the gap is that big between the two. But in general terms of console vs. PC, why would I spend $700+ to play one game? And yeah there's RTS games but chances are if I'm already a console gamer I really don't care about those anyways. PC really isn't worth it, IMHO.espoac

I wouldn't spend that much to play one game either, and I'm a PC gamer............:|

[QUOTE="lettuceman44"]

[QUOTE="hplarjy"][QUOTE="lettuceman44"]ok, about this whole price argument. listen to this. I need a computer in the first place, now instead of wasting that $600 on a ps3, why not I just use that money and upgrade my computer into somthing that can max everything. People are such fanboys
hplarjy

Anyway you misunderstood. People always bash pc because of the price. I was just making a defense statement about that and showing how consoles are not all that superior in price, and most peope have a pc so why not just spend that money upgrading the pc. (I admit it was fanboyish of me the way I did it) 

The thing is a 600 dollar DX 9 PC looks better than haze.  The difference between DX 9 and 10 is not that much, and when it comes down to it, even a moderate PC can whup any PS3 games butt.  Hell, Half Life 2 and STALKER look better than Haze IMO.

No, I didn't.  Again, you can run CoH (assuming you're talking about City of Heroes and not Company of Heroes) because all you need the CD for is installation.  If you're talking about company, though, then yeah, I have been owned.  Since when have they allowed you to play without a CD, though?  Not too long ago companies were using copy-protection software.  I guess times change.

And besides, you install PSN downloadable games.  your comment = half-truth. 

Can someone please newegg.com a $600 PC that can handle games like HAZE, Metal Gear Solid 4, and Motorstorm at a perfect, steady frame rate. Because as far as im concerned, i doubt theres a $600 PC that can outperform a $600 PS3. The point is, For $600, look what we can achieve on the ps3. Now, look at crysis. Good luck spending $600 to run that game perfectly. See, OF COURSE, a $600 PC can run crysis. BUT...to what extent? lag? low resolution? Low FPS and medium details? Unlike a console, we don't have to worry about that. (Don't bring up the fact about bad frame rate in certain ps3/360 games)VideoGameRosado

Go back a few pages, someone posted one. You can build rig for around $600  that runs Crysis maxxed in DX9. PC's also have far greater value. Not to mention, if you just need an upgrade, it would be wiser and cheaper to do that than get a PS3 (considering Haze is multiplat also). Another thing console fanboys like to look past is the fact that you don't need to buy a new HDD, PSU, DVD/CD drive, case, etc, etc if you have built a rig before. You can just use parts like those from that rig. So really, if you wanted to get a whole new "system", that actually improves your performance in games, that you would just need to get RAM, video card, mobo, and CPU. You can do this for under $600.....

So why is "THE BLU-RAY!!!" needed? PS3 doesn't install the full game on their bud like PC games do. I assume you can run games with no disc in, right?

LOL, you can't run recent PC games without the disk anyways as copy protection schemes like starforce (which really, really sucks) prevent you from doing so.

Hmmm.....must be why I run STALKER, SupCom, and CoH without any discs in, right? You only answered one of my comments, and failed. Care to try the others?

No, I didn't. Again, you can run CoH (assuming you're talking about City of Heroes and not Company of Heroes) because all you need the CD for is installation. If you're talking about company, though, then yeah, I have been owned. Since when have they allowed you to play without a CD, though? Not too long ago companies were using copy-protection software. I guess times change.

And besides, you install PSN downloadable games. your comment = half-truth.

No, I was talking about Company of Heroes. So yes, you have been owned. They've allowed you to play without a CD for a while now. And to the comment at the bottom, come on, you know what I was talking about. The PS3 downloadable games don't take nearly the amount of space that an actual full retail game takes up. And yes, you did only respond to one of my comments......read again please.

You forget PC can do more than Just play games. So at $600 a PC can do far more than a PS3 ever could.Pro_wrestler

No.

The PS3 has a few things that the PC can't do, and the PC has a few things that the PS3 can't do. For one thing, you can develop programs on the PS3 if you use linux. Also, the PS3 can use the blu-ray format while the PC currently can't. The PC can obviously do more work-oriented things, though.

PC's can do MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH more than the PS3 can do. Why do PC's need Blu-Ray when they have a much larger storage capacity called a "HARD DRIVE"? I guess you've never heard of it though........

LOL, notice how a PS3 also has a "hard-drive" and notice how the storage capacity grows along with the PC market's, as the PS3 USES THE SAME HARD-DRIVES. LOL, you think I didn't know that?

I know the PS3 has a HDD, but it is not used in the exact same way as a PC's HDD is used (not to mention 60GB is a very small HDD). When's the last time you installed a game or app onto your PS3? Oh wait.......

PC's install games on to their HDD's, unlike consoles. Blu-Ray is in no way needed for PC gaming. I guess your a little angry at being owned by the "PC can't use Blu-Ray" comment you made, huh?

You did say game or app.   But yeah, I see your point.  However... why does this matter in the first place?  The reason you don't see PS3 games played without the disk is because the 250 gig hard-drives aren't standard.  If you installed an entire  PS3 game on the PS3 60 gig, you'd have run out of space already.  And besides... the PS3 is good value for the money.  If you were to add a blu-ray disc-drive to that beasting $600 computer, it'd cost over $1,000.  The blu-ray player is the sole reason that the PS3 costs so much.  Without it, the PS3 would likely cost $400, and SW would have nothing to b**** about.

The funny thing is that it will probably look better on PC once it comes out.:lol:

Do you post anything that isn't bashing the PS3? What computer can you get, with a decent graphics card mind you, that would be able to run Crysis for 600.00 or less that isn't used, stolen, or something else along those lines. Haze looks fine. You're fanboyism is at an all time high lately.  

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/system/cfgam2.asp?v=d

$630, with a GeForce 7950GT and 160GB HDD.

 However you can customize with a 8600GT which can still run Crysis (maybe not on max) and it comes to $595 >>>>> PS3.

:lol: You don't even need a C2D line processor to outperform consoles. Pentium D will do perfectly(sub-$100) coupled with PS3 equivelant CPU & you have graphics that are similar to PS3's. Get a X1950Pro for $175 and you got a console whoopin' computer all under $600.

Your talking value now, not price. You do get a Blu-ray player in the PS3 which is a plus, but once you add that blu-ray player to PC's the face value increases but the overall value is greater than a PS3 simply because you get more with PC's.

True, but people get consoles for the sole reason that they can't afford a PC. And besides, PC's are kind of annoying. If you bought a great PC in 2005 it's now a mediocre PC as of right now. And while you can upgrade the GPU, you generally can't upgrade things like the CPU, which today's games are currently using quite a bit.  And it REALLY sucks if you got screwed over like I did.  I bought a computer right before PCI express became the defacto standard.

They used pics that are pretty much the first ones ever released. DX9 pre-pre-pre-alpha. Not to mention Crytek never shows their best as their worst is still mind-blowing.

Graphics, physics >>>> beats Haze easily. The multiplayer, gameplay, innovation and value will be even greater.  Haze doesn't stand a chance.

That should last about 6-8 years, the one you just built could barely make it to 2010, Alan Wake would kill that PoS low end card.

OK psycho I was just makign a point.  It can do the job now.  PFFT you act like the ps4 wont be out by 2010.  That rig could run Crysis and look better or as good as that HAZE game.  Thats all.

a_ratchet_fan

That's why people enjoy building their own PC's, as it's a hobby, rather then buying pre-built. I still have an AGP box, and if you are looking for an amazing card that will run every flippin PC game out there, plus all the ones to come out this year, you can get my card for 200 bucks at most e-tailers. It's the X1950 Pro 512mb AGP card. It's excellent and as long as you have a gig of ram, you will be able to tear up Crysis no problem, and Haze for that matter when it comes to the PC shortly after the PS3 release.

i really dont like this awkward yellow suit designs. looks good other than that.useLOGIC

It tooks too much like future of laser tag or something.

I'd stick to all black, or military  outfits.

But the over all answer is no, ps3 is not better than the PC, nor will it ever be.
