Which do you guys think is better and give reasons why. I prefer a console because of reliability but tell me which one you like. I'm considering purchasing a macbook for high school and i might do some gaming on it through windows.

PS: I know you pc gamers are going to be crawling up my a$$ because of the mac but just get over it. I've practically made up my mind.

You're going to start a huge arguement and flame war in this thread. Good job.

To answer your question, I like them the same but right now I have only been gaming on my PC.

PC and consoles, both are fine by me. I do prefer PC gaming though, unless I am playing on older consoles (Dynamite Headdy FTW!).

PC, FPS and RTS are much worse on console and i use a bunch of mods, consoles are only really better than PCs if you've got friends round

First off, consoles being more reliable than PC's is just false, there's nothing to support that.

I by far and away prefer the PC, most games, most highly rated games, most exclusives, best online, mods, etc.

However, if I had to choose between gaming on a Mac vs console, I'd take consoles.

I will be using windows on bootcamp though and this is just to test if I like gaming on a computer in general. If I do then I will eventually build a rig with WINDOWS 7

You should really care about the games, not hardware.

Consoles get the big, popular ones from the longest running series. PC gets the unique, smaller ones that play better online.

PC gaming is the hands down best for FPS, RTS, TBS, Sims (race, flight, tank etc.) and MMOs. I prefer consoles for Platformers, Fighting, Arcade Racers, action/adventure, and JRPGs.

They're about equal with WRPGs, there is enough good and bad on both sides for me to say it is a stalemate if you don't unclude mods.

PC's are better. If they weren't, the consoles wouldn't be trying to be more like them.

Just curious... why get a Mac if you're going to install Windows on it?

Also, gaming on a laptop isn't really the best way to form an opinion on PC gaming.

But to get back on topic, I prefer to game on the PC. I play on the PS3 from time to time--it has some good games. I used to have a 360 but it didn't really have any games that interested me. Same goes for the Wii.

mac isn't something you should be using for PC games. jeez dude your opinion is understandable since so few PC games ever come to mac systems.lol. PC would win easily if it wasn't for console exclusives.

That's sad :( You can get a PC notebook and download excellent free software and still have it look nice for a little more than half the price of a mac

You caught me, I don't despise macs, just too many people buy them because they are "hip" and I have no gripe with artists (whether they musicians, graphic artists etc.) who use them but really for their price you can get a PC that can do more better.

gamers who know dont buy notebooks in the first place, pc doesnt get broken versions, it gets the best, and if you actually had a good pc you woldnt be playing on consoles anymore, ps, PC has like 4 entire generations of great games, so that argument is completely invalid, RTS and MMO's are a niche on PC, FPS are most played, RPG's? consoles can keep them, theyre also a niche on pc there, i think i covered all aspects

I used to be a hardcore pc gamer. Really got out of it, as of the last 3 years or so. I miss it everyday. I'm a casual PS3 gamer now. Play maybe 3 hours a week now. Other hobbies took my life over.

I'm A PC Gamer. I don't hate Mac's just the certain people who have no idea what's inside their mac, telling me that their mac is 100000000 times better than my PC by just spewing out things that they say in the Mac ads.

PC for me. I prefer to upgrade my PC vs the static console. I prefer keyboard/mouse for every game except racers and sports games. I prefer to play in lag free online which hasn't been my experience with consoles. I like to have free online.

I like the PC better. I prefer the control scheme (for certain genres), and the online and mod support is simply unparalleled on any console. That being said, I like consoles for certain genres and I don't have anything against them.

What he's saying is that gaming and Macs don't go together well. Now that they're using Intel processors, we're starting to see more Mac games, but it's still pretty slim pickings.

Imo, they're not really up against each other.

For some, PC complements consoles. For some, consoles complement PC. And for others, it's either one or the other. But it doesn't matter anyways, because PC will never effectively destroy the console market and vice versa.

I say PC because it is just as reliable as any console and if it does break, I don't have to ship it off to be repaired, I can just repair it myself, plus I can do a lot more with a PC.

I like PC better than consoles becase: 1. mods - mods can add so much more to a game. 2. dedicated servers - less lag ftw! 3. more control options - I can use k/b+m or a controller 4. better graphics 5. I prefer most genres on PC (FPS, WRPG, RTS, etc)

Lol, you could probably buy an Alienware notebook less than the a Macbook, and Alienware is a huge rip off. I've read that Dell actually makes the best gaming laptops. Their XPS series is top notch.

do we really need another one of these threads? anyway pc wins. Better online Cheaper games and can download 99% of all new games which in many countires make it way cheaper than retail games. Complete control customization, can customize any key on keyboard/mouse to do what every you want and you can use a controller if you want. More reliable in my experience, and if something goes wrong much faster to fix, 14 months and my ps2 laser was dead, in over 4 years of pc not a single component has died on me. Plus it takes 5 mins to replace a dvd drive in a pc compared to 2 week for sony to fix it. Bigger levels, better physics, more interactive environments Can browse the web while in your games And of course best graphics. And then the pc is far more useful outside of gaming than consoles, can't do productive things on a console.

I think both are excellent gaming platforms. It just so happens the kinds of games I really like are on the PC. THe RTSs and those tactical FPS games like OPF2 and ArmA.

i like the PC better then consoles because of the graphics are better and more accuracy with the mouse. i do have a 360 i've been playing that lately, just trying to beat the games i have.

as for mac, i think u should also load windows on that. macs aren't great for games. they don't have a lot of support, the hardware are more expensive for nothing.
