Buy PS3 now or save up for gaming pc?

I have enough money for a ps3 now, but the games that i want to play the most are already on the pc such as Oblivion, Fallout New Vegas, and Batman: Arkham Asylum. With a gaming pc, i could have awesome graphics, cheap games, and i can use any controller i want. I have steam right now on my computer and it's amazing, but it's too bad my rig sucks and cant play any new games.

I'm estimating I'll have enough money for a gaming pc by late spring next year. What to you guys think?

PS3

PC.

You would be insane to choose a PS3 over a PC. :PStevo_the_gamer

not true,games on the pc don't interest me,expect for a couple like starcraft 2

Going by the games you wanna play I'm gonna have to say get a gaming PC.

Get a PS3 buddy. It seems to me that a gaming PC is out of your budget.

Judging by your sig, you're waiting on the 3DS. Do you think you can buy a gaming PC and a 3DS at roughly the same time? I'd go for PS3.

pc. you can buy ps3 when it's $99 and play all the games u wanted for $5 each

I'm saving up for a gaming pc - the fallout mod community is ridiculous - (it's like endless downloadable contentfor free! the guys there are geniuses)

I want to be able to create mods - test out ideas

I would go with the PC - check these

Depends on the type of games you enjoy. Research PC and PS3 games and then make your decision.

PS3 has some pretty good exclusives but, what are you going to do with it when you've finished playing those games?

You can do alot more with a decent gaming rig then you can dowith a PS3.

get PC now and a ps3 later 8)

PC, better, faster, Stronger.

Given the time frame and potential furture purchases like the 3DS, I'd get the PS3 now. I'm sure its graphics will good enough for you. And the games you mentioned are also cheap on the PS3 now anyway. And that'll give you more money around the time the 3DS comes out and you'll have a great handheld and a pretty good console to boot. Save the PC for later.

You can get thosr games on the PS3 too, very cheap I might add on Ebay. I got a new copy of Oblivion last month for $6 and free shipping.

skip the pc, skip the 360, skip the wii. all you need is a ps3 this generation imho its has everything and does everything. thats why their motto is it only does everything. the ps3 will have a 10 year life cycle so youre good for 10 yrs and more

Getting a good PC helps for a lot of thing, not just gaming. Definitely take that into account. I prefer PC gaming above console gaming so my answer is obvious.

sorry that looks expensmitive. anything that can do the ps3 can do plus its cheaper and i can sit on a comfy couch while doing it.

I'm going to say go for a PC. You get so much more, especially gaming wise from a PC.

Aren't you the one who's dad wouldn't let you buy the PS3? Let me just say this make sure you know how much the PC rig your shooting for will cost (including upgrades) and make sure you know how to make everything work. If you dad isn't supportive of your PS3 idea I doubt he'd support a gaming PC so you want to make sure you know everything about such an adventure before you begin.

You can do more with a PC.

I would just keep it simple for right now and go for the PS3, and get your self a couple of used games. Why wait when you can start enjoying your games right now. You can always get a pc later on with better tech and reasonable prices.
