If you own a super computer(PS3)....

Why would you want a regular gaming computer(PC) that cost much more?

I see lots of cows saying they will play 360/PC games on the PC yet they own a PS3 which is a super computer which costs 599$ plus the price of a 1080p tv and then the price of a gaming PC 1400+ to play these games that will play on the 360!!!!!

Why not just get a 360 to add to your super computer(PS3) and save time and money?

Well, because a PC has other uses, for example I can't use a load of programs like Flash and Dreamweaver on a 360, or play my decent sized library of PC games, plus the fact that I can't browse the internet (which I do most often) half as fast on a 360 than I can on a PC. So the PC/PS3 combi wins out at the end of the day. (Which is what I have)ShmenonPie

Ok , but you don't have to upgrade your PC all the time for "other uses" and you do for "PC gaming"

A PC is much, much more practical. I can do much more than just game. Not only that, but I think it has just a bit bigger library, with a few more games. Just a bit bigger. :|luigigreen

The PC doesn't need to be upgraded all the time for the many uses and it does if you want to PC game. Playing old PC games all the time isn't for me and would rather play new fresh games and not something with a mod thrown at it/on it.

Well if you don't have a Dual Core 2 you most likely are overclocking your GPU/CPU and you're turning the game settings all the way down.

I know three games that you most likely don't run at full settings with your current rig:

STALKER, SUPREME COMMANDER, and OBLIVION

How come PC gamers never admit that their hardware just doesn't cut the muster like Colonel Custer?

The PS3 is not a super computer. In fact if you are even going to call it a 'computer' rather than a console then it is a severely limited computer. If that wasn't bad enough the highest rated PS3 game (Oblivion) is also on PC with the added bonus of expansions and various player made material. Online multiplayer is also far better on PC than on your 'super computer.'

The ps3 is hardly a supercomputer. And there are many games on PC that will never work on a console.TheCrazed420

And there are a lot better games on the 360 that won't be on the PC for a long time(usually a couple years), by the time they may appear on the PC they will be outdated and I see no reason why a PC gamer would want them at a later time(example HALO 3)

Why do people play old games when new ones come out?

First you might want to ask what a PC gamer would prefer, Crysis or Halo 3? When PC gamers have better, why would they be that bothered about Halo 3? I own both 360 and PC and personally Crysis is well ahead on my list of must haves.

Because the PC offers deeper titles that get supported by strong communities. Look at CS 1.6, TA, and Starcraft to name a few. You just don't get that kind of support on consoles.

you are extremely deluded if you think I can't run stalker at full with a powerful, non-dual core, cpu. DELUDED.

This kid obviously doesnt know how to turn a PC on, letalone judge components.

Only for graphics reasons. Far Cry is not better than Halo and if Crysis can run on your current rig it can run on a 360 which I wouldn't have to wait for since my PC is a high end machine which in a year or two will be approaching obsolete for games.

Pc gaming does not sell as well in the software department as consoles does. I wouldn't be shocked if all game developers give up on PC gaming except for MMORPGs and move strictly to consoles

read what? your uninformed post about cpu's?

you know nothing about computers if you think a 4200+ 64 fx cant run the games you listed in high settings (unless supcomm is being played on a 8 man map).

In fact, my rig proves you wrong.

so how bout you go back to sleep, cause you don't know much about pc's

oh and your comparison of ps3 and a super computer is laughable.

Well most PC gamers I see on here say that Crysis can run on a 7800GS video card witha computer that is within two years old, now if that is true then it can run on a 360 and even the PS3 if Crytek wants to spend a couple years making a version for it.

I personally think you are going to need a beast to run Crysis and it won't be as scable as some claim

Rainbow Six Vegas looks better on my PC than on my 360, so that logic is not necessarily true. What I don't understand is why you believe that a PC becomes obsolete in a couple of years. Once you own a PC that is higher spec than a PS3 it will always be higher. Whether or not you can play brand new games 2 years down the line on the highest detail is irrelevant, you will still be able to play the game at for it to run well. If what you were saying is true then 2 years down the line PS3 would be well behind the PC because of these new advancements that have made older PC rigs obsolete.'

Calm down herbert. I was referring to what Ken Kuntaragi said about the PS3 being a super computer and I very well know what a game like STALKER can run on.

I'll give youfour reasons and then I must leave

1 - on-line on consoles (well not the PS3) is becoming extremely fun and I actually prefer it to PC on-line gaming(that's why I spend the big bucks for my subscription)

2 - Gaming consoles are running in HD and will offer great graphics as they are now doing

3 - The price of hardware/software for PCsbeing overpriced for gaming

Wow.

1) PC online has more players, dedicated servers and better communities. More variety in online games and FREE.

2) Glad the consoles finally caught up to PC's in that aspect, since PC gamers have been gaming in HD for ages.

3) PC games are consistently much lower in price than their console counterparts.

4) Until it breaks. Then you have no choice but to mail it in. Unlike a PC, where you can find your issue by proofing stuff out, fix it, and off you go.

There is one simple answer for this. Variety. Why not own some combination of PS3, 360, Wii, and/or Super computer. All of them have their own exclusives. A tried and true "hardcore" (whatever you may consider it) gamer doesn't limit themselves to one medium but is open to experiences on all. Simple as that.

A PS3 is NOT a super computer.

A high-end gaming PC is a super computer. My gosh...

The 360 has more games and better games, and the Wii has great games too.

So Wii60 and PC is the way to go right now. Gosh I hate it when hypocritical fanboys bash the PC with stupid points.

2 - Gaming consoles are running in HD

OH BOY! :lol:

just because sony say the PS3 is a supercomputer doesn't mean it isakif22
