which console offers the best experience that you can't otherwise get on pc? Is it even worth getting any of the consoles if you have a gaming machine?

it really depends on what style of console you are looking for , if you want a non-stop entertaining family fun console then you want the wii , if you want a hardcore gamers console you want the PS3 or 360. The PS3 would be the best bet if you want a great console , because it wont die on you like the 360 might

theres no alternative to the PC if you truly enjoy what it has to offer in terms of freedom, choice, efficiency and staying at the forefront of technology, which in the end contradicts what consoles stand for.

Wel most of the good 360 games are on or are going to pc. The ps3's on the other hand most likely will never be on the pc and the ps3 doesn't break like the 306 does. I would recomend the ps3 if you have a pc and if you don't have a pc and besides you get a hd movie player

If you want what you "can't" get from PC gaming, the most viable alternative is the Wii.

360, since stuff seems to get ported from the 360 to the PC and sometimes vice versa. Wii is great for casuals, parties, and of course Brawl.

I am choosing between 360 and ps3, screw wii. I am mainly an fps and strategy gamer on my pc, sometimes some rpg too. I'm most interested in ff13, the new gta and some other cinematic games that arent for pc. Looking through the lists of titles I am very unimpressed though, looks like neither console has anything worth playing.

Ooooh,I thought he meant which consoles gives you the closest experience to PC gaming. Then I agree,the PS3.

a ps3. Xbox 360 is pretty much the worst console if you have a pc.. You could play the majority of the games (besides like 6) on thepc, with better framerates, resoloution, textures, and mods.

I was confused too a while back. Being a mostly PC gamer, I found the wii+ps3+PC combo to be quite effective.

My opinion and I sense the general one is: If you don't have a gaming PC, 360 is the better alternative. If you have a gaming PC then a Wii is the better choice for local multiplayer, otherwise a PS3 if you want more depth in games.

If you dont have a gaming PC i would say 360 because its got nearly all the new great games on PC and its also alot more value for your money. Another thing is that if your going to get a PS3 prepare to wait for a good game to come out. About the RROD issue if it breaks dont worry about it just get it fixed for free (something you cant do with a ps3).

xbox has better online

free video and internet chat on 360
