Hello everyone,

I am thinking about buying a ps3, because I can get the hands on a 60gb version with resistance, motorstorm & 2 controllers for 499 euros.I am asking myself if the ps3 is worth it or should I spend my money on a complete new DX10 capable PC.

What do you think?

Do not get a PC now, DX10 isin't worth it right now. Wait till MS fixes the Vista and DX10 bugs. Then go for the PC.

As for the PS3...its up to you. I personally have one, enjoy it, own R:FOM, Motorstorm, R&C, and a few others, play it fairly often. Its not a bad console. But again I have all the consoles and a PC, worked hard for all of 'em.

I'd recommend waiting on both though. Unless you really must play R:FOM or Motorstorm, both great games BTW, I would wait till next year.

One more thing that hopefully persuades you to wait.

If you wait till next year you'll know more about the PS3 and if its the console for you, and by then PC prices will go down some, or new better hardware will be available.

Thats absoutlely laughable

Better games? Um thats all opionion

Better visuals + audio? Um almost every PS3 game comign out features 7.1 uncompressed audio how many PC games feature that . And better visuals? Um im sorry but other then Crysis and FC2 there arent many impressive looking pc games coming next year.

Bettter online? Um the PS3 online is free and has many similartys to pc online and with the inovation of Home it will have the most invoative community on the net.

Better community? Go play Warcraft and here the 12 year old whine and cry drop 100 racial slurs and get back to me

Better functunality? Um the PS3 plays games which if he wants a gaming machine its much simpler then any pc .

Better value? Um this is the most ridiculous part of your argument. Name one pc you can buy for cheaper then what its worth? Every PS3 cost more to make then what Sony is selling it for while pc parts are marked up . Even if you build a pc yourself you will not get one anywhere near the same pricerange of 500$ that is remotely close to being in the same league as the PS3.

^ ok.... wtf.... that needs a bit more explaination.

I would say the ps3 for now. I think you'll probably end up getting a new pc later on down the road anyway since its one of those things that you have to replace every couple of years so get the most value/time time out of the current pc as possible.

You want a honest non biast opionion?

If your favorite Genre is FPS, RTS and MMO go buy a pc but make sure it its fairly high end are you are better off getting a PS3.

If you are into Action Adventure, Platformers, Fighting and Racing get a PS3.

Depends, if its a full on gaming computer able to run crysis and games like that and if your really good at computers and know what to do or not. if it is then go ahead defiantly get a new PC just hook it up to your big TV and its a go.

Sorry but as an owner of both PS3 and a gaming rig i'd have to say that skrat_01 is right. Online is a shambles on the PS3 atm, even its best online game which was an online ONLY game couldn't get it right. Pro Evo is just another example of it, where not only is the game almost unplayable single player but take it online and it IS unplayable.

The PC does have the better games. To say it doesn't would be your opinionVS that of every other professional review site out there and i'll go my my own judgement and theirs over yours anyday ;).

Value? Well the PS3 is hardly great value as a games machine right now considering its lacklustre showing of exclusives and problem filled multiplats.

Lets be honest here, PC's and consoles are two different beasts. IF you have the money get the PC and a 360.

No actually if you have the money you might as well get PS3 and PC because most of the 360 games are on the PC anyway

Fact is I dont think you own a PS3. And when you buy a systme you do it for not only how good it is now but how good it will be. PS3 online is just starting PS Home comes out next year and will be much more improved. And Warhawk is a bad online game? Um ive been in multiple 32 player games with absoutley no lag and the only thing they need to fix as of now is the ranking system which is easily fixable..

As for better games Im correct and thats all there is to it. I said it is a matter of opionion I never said the PS3 had better games and the fact is it is a matter of Opinion. I dont care how high a game on PC scores. If I dont like that genre then it doesnt do me much good to buy that platform now does it?

As for Value the PS3 is a great value and the exclusives are just starting to roll in. But you made a fatal flaw in your argument that pretty much makes you lose all creadablity. You said get a PC+Xbox360? Lmao? May I ask why? Since they share about 90% of there excluisves and the PS3 has by far a much better excluisve lineup then the 360 next year while the 360 will be sharing most of its excluisves with the pc.

Polaris_choice

*Sigh*

"RTS" is only a sub-genre. You should've listed the parent genre of "Strategy."

"MMO" is not the only form of RPG available on PC. In fact, PC has by far the strongest lineup of traditional RPG games out of every platform ..and it's really only lacking in role-playing games of Eastern-influence.

Many racing games are also available on PC (both arcade and simulations..Trackmania and GTR are examples of both respectively, off the top of my head) and PC also has a far stronger lineup of Adventure games than the PS3 does. Platformers, JRPGs and Fighting games are really all the PS3 (or any console) has over PC.

Not to mention PC also has countless indie/doujin games from every genre imaginable to make up for the lack of mainstream games covering those genres. Many of which are quite good.

Edit: PC also tends to get the best version of multiplat games, which is just icing on the cake.

haha nope your counter is laughable.

PC has the most AAAs and AAs not to mention exclusives. THat is better games.
If you RATHER different games that is opinion

PC has far superioutr 7.1 audio cards, if you feel like spending a little extra. Makes the PS3s look like trash. And for visuals :lol: We all know how visually superiour the PS3 is :lol:

:lol: PC online is all free, and home is a joke ripoff of second life :lol:
Your proposition is laughable :lol:

Better community - the PS3s pitiful community is laughable. I'd rather communicate with 200 million PC gamers, clans, modders and developers than SDF fanatics :lol:

And a new PC will play any new game :lol:

The PS3 itself is marked up. It plays games and blu ray movies :lol: Hoooray :lol:
People try and boas the PS3s functionality. Ive got a good idea how about you stop using your web browser and use the PS3s :lol:

PS3 hardware, and prephrials are a ripoff as are the games.

Nope the PS3 cant compare to a gaming PC.

Try again please.

Polaris_choice

Feel free to add me, my PSN name is Stonin but quite frankly I don't care if you believe it or not it doesn't change the fact I do.

I was refering to the crashing that STILL happens in Warhawk for some of us...the messed up stats, ranks and servers for the first few weeks etc. When I buy a console game I don't expect to have to wait nearly 3 weeks for the thing to be playable...but I agree that lag isn't really an issue with Warhawk.

Sure the best games thing is a matter of opinion it's just that virtually every other person out there disagrees with you. Sure you might hate every genre the PC has but then i'm not sure what you would want to play on your PS3 I mean the PC scores higher and has the better games in the following genres: Racing, FPS, TPS, RPG, RTS, Strategy, Puzzle and MMO. If you want to play fighters, sports and platformers then fine go with the PS3....but then you miss out on all of the modding, Indie games, total conversions, tweaks and total backwards compatibility the PC offers.

Well I said get a 360 and PC because then you get all of the great PC games and things like PGR4, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo 3, Forza 2, Crackdownto name but a few. You can argue that Halo 3 might be on PC in 3 years but you and I know that in 3 years nobody is going to care about it.

Also YOU think the 08 lineup is great for PS3 but I just see a bunch of the same old stuff. MGS has always been a snorefest for me and yet another version of the job-like GT doesn't exactly get the pulse racing.

Anyhow, you obviously just love your PS3 so I emplore you to just go and enjoy it. I'll just let mine continue to collect dust while I wait for something great to be released on it (oh and there will be but as an only console it is a horrible choice right now).

If your PC is still capable of browsing the net and sending emails etc then its doing all it needs to do anyway so get a PS3 and a nice large HDTV for it to sit proudly underneath :)

If your PC is still capable of browsing the net and sending emails etc then its doing all it needs to do anyway so get a PS3 and a nice large HDTV for it to sit proudly underneath :)

philhilluk

HellGate, The Witcher, Crysis, Spore, Gears PC (Just to name a few)

Just a few more things a PC can do on top of everything you listed.

True, but over-exxagerated. For the most part its negligable.

You want a honest non biast opionion?

If your favorite Genre is FPS, RTS and MMO go buy a pc but make sure it its fairly high end are you are better off getting a PS3.

If you are into Action Adventure, Platformers, Fighting and Racing get a PS3.

Velocitas8

*Sigh*

"RTS" is only a sub-genre. You should've listed the parent genre of "Strategy."

"MMO" is not the only form of RPG available on PC. In fact, PC has by far the strongest lineup of traditional RPG games out of every platform ..and it's really only lacking in role-playing games of Eastern-influence.

Many racing games are also available on PC (both arcade and simulations..Trackmania and GTR are examples of both respectively, off the top of my head) and PC also has a far stronger lineup of Adventure games than the PS3 does. Platformers, JRPGs and Fighting games are really all the PS3 (or any console) has over PC.

Not to mention PC also has countless indie/doujin games from every genre imaginable to make up for the lack of mainstream games covering those genres. Many of which are quite good.

Edit: PC also tends to get the best version of multiplat games, which is just icing on the cake.

Im sorry but your wrong.If you dont know the differce between action adventre games and adventure games then dont bother speaking. Adventure may be a stonger genre on pc but Action adventure is far stronger on consoles and Action adventure is a much larger genre to begin with in both sales and quality. And yes Racing is by far superior on consoels. Name one racing franchize on pc that is as highly regarded as Gran Turismo. Um thats right you cant. As far as superior multiplats go Action adventure games are usually better on consoles while the pc version is littered with bugs and optimization issues. So regardles my point still stands.

What racing game is PS3 getting besides GT5? PC has more quality racing games than the PS3. Explain yourself please.

There is no racing game on PC rated anywhere near GranTurismo.

PC

With 8800 GT at such a low price its hard to say otherwise.

Better games
Better visuals + audio
Better online
Better controls
Better community
Better variety
Better functionality (it is a computer)
Better value

skrat_01

Thats absoutlely laughable

Better games? Um thats all opionion

Better visuals + audio? Um almost every PS3 game comign out features 7.1 uncompressed audio how many PC games feature that . And better visuals? Um im sorry but other then Crysis and FC2 there arent many impressive looking pc games coming next year.

Bettter online? Um the PS3 online is free and has many similartys to pc online and with the inovation of Home it will have the most invoative community on the net.

Better community? Go play Warcraft and here the 12 year old whine and cry drop 100 racial slurs and get back to me

Better functunality? Um the PS3 plays games which if he wants a gaming machine its much simpler then any pc .

Better value? Um this is the most ridiculous part of your argument. Name one pc you can buy for cheaper then what its worth? Every PS3 cost more to make then what Sony is selling it for while pc parts are marked up . Even if you build a pc yourself you will not get one anywhere near the same pricerange of 500$ that is remotely close to being in the same league as the PS3.

haha nope your counter is laughable.

PC has the most AAAs and AAs not to mention exclusives. THat is better games.
If you RATHER different games that is opinion

PC has far superioutr 7.1 audio cards, if you feel like spending a little extra. Makes the PS3s look like trash. And for visuals :lol: We all know how visually superiour the PS3 is :lol:

:lol: PC online is all free, and home is a joke ripoff of second life :lol:
Your proposition is laughable :lol:

Better community - the PS3s pitiful community is laughable. I'd rather communicate with 200 million PC gamers, clans, modders and developers than SDF fanatics :lol:

And a new PC will play any new game :lol:

The PS3 itself is marked up. It plays games and blu ray movies :lol: Hoooray :lol:
People try and boas the PS3s functionality. Ive got a good idea how about you stop using your web browser and use the PS3s :lol:

PS3 hardware, and prephrials are a ripoff as are the games.

Nope the PS3 cant compare to a gaming PC.

Try again please.

You are to misinforemd to even come up with an intelligent argument.

The PS3 is marked up? Um do some research it cost Sony 850$ to manufature each model that they sold for 600$ you simply have no clue what your talking about.

Better sound? Um the PS3 has 7.1 uncompressed Audio its absoutley flawless you have no clue what your talking about futher adding to the fact that you dont own one.

As for visuals I would gladly take Uncharted against any pc game this year. The only pc game that looks better is Cryisis and it runs like absolute garbage on high settings while th PS3 runs good looking games sily smooth but hey im sure you can claim ownage on some crappy multiplat that doesnt look good to begin with.

A gaming pc becomes a paperweight in 1 year I feel sorry for any poor sap that bought a high end DX9 card a year ago as there pc is already usless.

A) Are you kidding? Sound isn't just about compression and teh high fidelity. Its all about how the sound is packaged. EAX adds reverb and extra affects to the sound that gives it more depth than you'll EVER find on any console. NO CONSOLE supports EAX at this momment in time, and the high end sound cards on the PC TRUMP the sound any console can put out easily thanks to this. B) Uncharted, that barren two year old water color painting thats devoid of any veracity? It looks like crap imho. Not to mention I'm running Crysis fine on high settings on a modest rig for crying out loud and it looks vastly superior to any console game out, coming out soon, or announced. C) High end DX9 cards are NOT useless. I run the vast majority of PC games perfectly fine, and lets be honest, Crysis is the most technologically advanced title out or coming out soon. I'll be fine with a 7900 for another two years easily.

As much as I agree with you on pretty much every single thing you have posted in this thread, why you gotta' be hating on Uncharted like that? Some of us hope you know :(.

[QUOTE="Polaris_choice"]

Fact is I dont think you own a PS3. And when you buy a systme you do it for not only how good it is now but how good it will be. PS3 online is just starting PS Home comes out next year and will be much more improved. And Warhawk is a bad online game? Um ive been in multiple 32 player games with absoutley no lag and the only thing they need to fix as of now is the ranking system which is easily fixable..

As for better games Im correct and thats all there is to it. I said it is a matter of opionion I never said the PS3 had better games and the fact is it is a matter of Opinion. I dont care how high a game on PC scores. If I dont like that genre then it doesnt do me much good to buy that platform now does it?

As for Value the PS3 is a great value and the exclusives are just starting to roll in. But you made a fatal flaw in your argument that pretty much makes you lose all creadablity. You said get a PC+Xbox360? Lmao? May I ask why? Since they share about 90% of there excluisves and the PS3 has by far a much better excluisve lineup then the 360 next year while the 360 will be sharing most of its excluisves with the pc.

Stonin

Feel free to add me, my PSN name is Stonin but quite frankly I don't care if you believe it or not it doesn't change the fact I do.

I was refering to the crashing that STILL happens in Warhawk for some of us...the messed up stats, ranks and servers for the first few weeks etc. When I buy a console game I don't expect to have to wait nearly 3 weeks for the thing to be playable...but I agree that lag isn't really an issue with Warhawk.

Sure the best games thing is a matter of opinion it's just that virtually every other person out there disagrees with you. Sure you might hate every genre the PC has but then i'm not sure what you would want to play on your PS3 I mean the PC scores higher and has the better games in the following genres: Racing, FPS, TPS, RPG, RTS, Strategy, Puzzle and MMO. If you want to play fighters, sports and platformers then fine go with the PS3....but then you miss out on all of the modding, Indie games, total conversions, tweaks and total backwards compatibility the PC offers.

Well I said get a 360 and PC because then you get all of the great PC games and things like PGR4, Mass Effect, Dead Rising, Halo 3, Forza 2, Crackdownto name but a few. You can argue that Halo 3 might be on PC in 3 years but you and I know that in 3 years nobody is going to care about it.

Also YOU think the 08 lineup is great for PS3 but I just see a bunch of the same old stuff. MGS has always been a snorefest for me and yet another version of the job-like GT doesn't exactly get the pulse racing.

Anyhow, you obviously just love your PS3 so I emplore you to just go and enjoy it. I'll just let mine continue to collect dust while I wait for something great to be released on it (oh and there will be but as an only console it is a horrible choice right now).

Um I havent had a problem with Crashing in Warhawk ever perhaps you need to adust your wirelesssettings. And the ranking system has been fixed( Ironicaly I just downloaded the patch today). The PS3 isnt the only console I own I also own a 360 and I enjoy my 360 but im sick of constantly getting slapped in the face while they bring all the exclusives over to the pc a year later. At least most the exclusives for the PS3 stay exclusive.

Also I find it Ironic you trash talk the lineup of the PS3 next year. I mean really If you dont like Metal Gear and Gran Turismo then why would you buy a Playstation to begin with? Those are both proven franchizes MGS is one of the highest rated franchizes in gaming today and MGS4 looks absoutely stunning. Now take into account Uncharted: Drakes Fortune, FF13, KZ2, God of War 3 just to name a few and you can see why I bought a PS3. You want to trash talk the PS3 about a poor list of games well how well did the 360 do its first year? I remeber it was far worse then the PS3's first year and if your PS3 is collecting dust then why dont you pop in some of your old PS1 and PS2 games. ( mine is fully backward compatable) . Also you can say what you want about the game reviews. The bottom line is the PS3 will be the single best platform for Action Adventure titles( examples: God of War, Devil may Cry etc featuring most likely the best versions in most cases and the most excluisves in this genre which happens to be my favorite genre.

Ok I'll put on my optimistic hat for you: Most of what I said was based off of the trailer that was on the Warhawk disc. Theres been reports of Naughty Dog taking things bad about the trailers and fixing the game based off of that. Who knows, maybe they fixed my concerns. (Extremely loose, crappy gunplay and flushed out visuals)

On a 8800gtx it gets 25 fps on high settings . On DX9 it runs on med settings and on med settings it doesnt look better then any console game annoucned thats a freaking joke especially when it runs like a dam slide show. And no 7.1 Uncompressed Audio sounds absoutley flawless do you own a PS3? Its as pure as it gets EAX adds extra effects um you dont need it when you have fully uncompressed sound. Regardless bash on Uncharted all you want I saw the new trailer and it looks simply amazing . It has the best animations ive ever seen in a game and some of the most realistic water around the whole thing looks absotley stunning.
