I personally prefer console gaming. I don't really like Mouse and Keyboard.

So plug in a controller?

Thats not possible, I'm sure the PC can't use the controller from all 3 major consoles, that would be baffling.

Probably not, but the XBox controller works great on many pc games. Why would you want to use a controller for all major systems, when they all essentially function the same (excluding Wii)?

it can...all it takes is a bit of software configuration, not that it matters anyway, there is no reason to use all 3.

Not a troll, just extremely ignorant at what he's trying to discuss. And so are a lot of people on this thread.

It was sarcasm, I have a friend who uses his Wii-mote on his PC with wireless and all, I've used my PS3 and 360 controller on PC before.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"] As soon as you open it from the box its obsolete.Eggimannd

I do not know about that but my 2 year old PC cannot run many new games well. It runs them at low with lag and it shouldn't happen when I bough my PC in 2008.

People in this topic are saying my GPU is a 2007 one and very obsolete just going to show you need the top GPU to keep with the latest of what consoles do. My friend had to upgrade to run GTAIV

The 8800 GTS/GTX came out in November 2006 and it is far superior to console GPUs. You can play most games out today on PC at medium/high settings with one of them (And the games will look better than what consoles offer)

So either you're just making things up or you just had absolutely no clue what video card to buy and you got a really crappy one.

Actually the 8800gtx can max out just about any game at 1680x1050 resolution.

Only crysis and metro 2033 need to be lowered to 1440x900 to be played at max directx 10 settings.

Do you know that the 8800GTX(that is older than the ps3!!!) can play the same games with better graphics that the ps3?

Also the fact that GTA 4 was an awful port, and you didnt need to upgrade a gpu to out do console versionsif you had an 8800,

Too bad the 8800 GTX cost an arm and a leg in my locality. In fact one store heresomehow still carries it on stock, for a whopping US $620.00 (the same price it had since when it was first hit the shelves there).

One thing's for sure, unless I come face to face with a really compelling PC exclusive that also won't conk out on me, I've completely ceased purchasing new PC games, andall new games are going to my PS3 (my most recent purchases for itbeing Super Street FighterIV and Guitar Hero: Smash Hits. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift will soon follow).
