I was also interested in a PS3 since its looking pretty sick right now

What would be a better purchase

This pc for 470 bucks or a ps3 for 360 bucks

If your PC is already decent get a PS3 because that thing would not be able to play gamesCouth_

also WoW should work on any PC. Since you are on one right now(or a MAC but that works as well) You should be able to play it.JangoWuzHere

ya lol, wow will work on almost anything. so your "old" computer should perfectly handle it.

If you already have a PC thats working fine, i would strongly suggest the PS3. Its basically a computer all in itself, with many of the PC cababilities minus some of PC's stellar titles (i.e. WoW) but if your interested in MMO's the PS3 has DC Universe, Free Realms, and MAG coming in the not so distant future.

WoW has become more demanding you need at least 128mb video card 1gig of ram and 2.6ghz processor to play at a decent frameratepsn_Jaimzl

If you're actually interested in gaming this is a bad idea.

How do you know you even like WoW. I hated it. If you do all this, and don't even know if you like the game...

I wonder if you can run WoW on a PS3 linux distro. If yes then add it to the list of PS3 AAA titles:lol:.

not the PC. That PC isn't very good overrall and its not worth it for one game.JangoWuzHere

Get a Ps3. Intergrated graphics sucks as you have no option to upgrade. You could also choose to get a 360, you would beable to get a few games with the price you want to spend. Wow is good but dont buy or build a system for one game.sailor232

For your budget I'm surprised the Hermits havent given out a list of cheapo newegg parts that promises to max out Crysis twice.Emaldon69

For future reference make a poll. The PS3 is the clear choice and I first played WOW on a 10 year old laptop so trust me whatever you are using right now will play WOW. I however strongly discourage starting WOW it is the Devil and means you only harm both physically and to your social life.

How dare you even list these other MMO's in the same sentence as WoW!

You don't need a high-end PC for World of Warcraft. WoW is a 4 year old game built for Direct X 9 and Windows XP.

Also - you probably won't want a PS3 if you get WoW, because you'll want to play WoW all the time and your PS3 will just collect dust.

The cool thing about WoW is during my time playing it was basically the only game I played and it was a measily $15 a month.

As soon as I quit I went back to the same old console habit of buying two or three games a month and spending over a $100 at a minimum every single month.

If $$$ is a factor here you can't beat WoW.
