How many PS3 owners actually own gaming rigs?

I'm no gaming rig expert but Crysis and FSX run fine on high settings on my Laptop.....just got it like 1 month ago

looking forward to getting Left for Dead, Fallout, maybe Warhead... I think I'll get Mirrors Edge for the PS3 though.... anyway

centrino duo 2.2 ghz

4gb ram

ATI RadeonHD2600xt 512mb

vista64 (if that means anything)

anyway it has HDMI out...and it is very convenient to unplug the HDMI cord from my PS3 and just plug it into my Laptop.....and that is that......hooked up to my HDTV..... add this with a 360 controller (eventually DS3 with drivers) and I'm good....

IMO PS3+Gaming computer= GREAT F'n Combo

you get the best mulitplats + best exclusives + free online

sure you can get all the systems.....if u can afford them....but I'm pretty set with this combo for now....... if the 360 gets more true exclusives and fix the RROD problem once and for all... I have no problem adding a 360 to my list....... but it NEEDS more TRUE exclusives....

This is a gaming rig twice stronger than the PS3:

C2D8400

HD4870

2gb DDR2 RAM

With the rest of the pc it comes at $600 tops....

clone01

and you could buy both a PS3 and 360 for that price.

Xbox360 £170

PS3 £300

Gaming Rig £350

The look on the console fanboy face priceless.

High end PC? I wouldn't say so. I'm using a pretty good laptop though. Can run Fallout 3 and Dead Space (on lower settings obviously) and other pretty recent games pretty well.

To be honest, I don't PC game often. Just not my thing.

I very rarely hear Cows say that, it's certainly not "most". As for the poll, I don't have one.Floppy_Jim

An awful lot of cows use the excuse that the 360s games are on the PC to argue that it isnt worth owning one; though in reality very few of these people are likely to have gaming PCs powerful enough to run any of them.

You should probably specify what "high end" is for them. Considering medium now a days is a 8800GT/9600GT and a C2D below an e8---

Middle is much closer to what I bet they are considering high end.

Post your computer specs if you have one and are voting that you have one

i dont know if i got a high end rig but its in my sig.telefanatic

Lol, yeah, yours qualifies as "high end"

There's a difference between people saying "I could play it on a PC" and "I will play it on my PC".

I see some of the former and very little of the latter. The TC couldn't be bothered to try and prove that "most" Cows do this. But I agree that people shouldn't instantly dismiss a 360 game just because it's shared with the PC.

I'm a 360 owner with a gaming PC. ;)

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
4GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 800
EVGA Geforce 260 GTX Core 216 896MB

Buy all multiplats between the 360 and PC on my PC unless its by EA (hate their new SecuROM with a passion) or if it comes out on the 360 first.

PC gamer here who had a ps3 but sold it (not enough good games compared to my ps1 and ps2, especially the lack of rpgs. although i love mgs4,R+C and LBP).

Have a 360, DS and Wii also (along with alot of older consoles to) I might get a ps3 again if they get more RPGS.

wow...

the only other explanation i have is that your graphics card sucks. other than that, wow.

No i didnt :)Couth_

So assuming you have a high end GPU to go with that, seems like a waste of good hardware if you don't use it. You better be using that performance for something, a waste of money otherwise.

i did but sold it because i have a 360 so no point plus im not really into pc games except starcraft 2njean777

You sold your PC? Really?

Plus my other friend will get more use out of it then i did.

Oh, alright. It's just that you rarely hear of people selling their PCs, so I was a little surprised. :)

Yeah I have a HD4850, best bang for your buck I think. At least at the time I built it. I don't game on my PC too much, so it looks like a waste, but I love my PC :?Couth_

Since the main argument PS3 gamers use PCs for is access to 360 games that come to PC but not PS3, it is going to get used at some point.

I just find it strange you prefer PS3 when that PC can run most cross platform games better than either console, guess it just comes down to platform preference.

But I don't know, I prefer my PS3 and 360 to my PC.

Theres just something about my couch and my 42", and using a controller that I prefer. Yes I know PC can do all of that, but it's in a different room with it's own 1680x1050 monitor for a reason. And KB/M is supposed to be the superior controls, but it just isn't for me.

I am a PS3 gamer with a PC. Although its only mid because its a laptop but it runs games fairly well, some games it can't run (crysis) and will show its age sooner rather then later but I've been able to play great games on it that I wouldnt have been able to play.

And by the looks of things there are a lot of Kermits here (cow but with a K like kombat, and hermit)

haha yea, I guess he didn't think his pc had any uses except gaming, even though he says he doesn't pc game much to begin with lol, though I hope hes not using a wii, ps3, or some other electronic device to post on these forums, thats just a pain

EDIT: whew, read his second post, good thing he has a laptop, I was like, omg, how can you live without a comp

yeah lol im not that stupid to sell my pc without having another alternative

I didnt have the cash to blow on a HDTV...so Ive bought a pre built PC with a 22" LCD which cost me £450 total....

I just dont have £1000 to blow on an HDTV....

I do
