so whats better now?....299ps3 vs 299pc?

Really, are you really asking this?

a 299 gaming pc is really really really stretching things thin, im sure it could be done but youd have to be pretty tech savy to come up with a rig capable of running games decently

ummm at that price tag? i rather get a ps3 instead.OPuniverse

Since they are game consoles it all depends on the games. As far as myself I prefer- Halo> Killzone Gears of War >Resistance Forza > GT Mass Effect> Demon Soul Splinter Cell a better stealth game > Then MGS Fable> ValkryiaChronicles ( Sorry not many wrpg for PS3 to compare ) I could mention others but I prefer those games over the PS3 ones. They both have good games but I think the 360 games are better so not reason for me to ever choose the PS3 over the 360.CanYouDiglt

They're talking about the PC. And I suggest you put the fanboy cloak on more tightly, its too revealing. :oops:

that would be extremely hard to do. However....this is theoretical...unless you don't actualy intend to play any games on PS3 or PC. Because considering that PS3 games retail for about 25-30 dollars more than PC ones here in Europe, the "cheapness" of PS3 seems more like a clever con designed to lure you into overpaying each time you buy a game, ultimately making you pay a lot more than PC costed

a 299 pc haha my gpu and ram cost that muchstereointegrity

why would you bother?

the PC is the premium gaming system and as such if you are serious about getting the best possible gaming experience, you must be prepared to pay for the priveledge.

If you can't afford the premium system then by all means only get a console, but don't try to compare them.

A Ford Mondeo and a Lamborghini both have four wheels and steering wheel, and both use the same road but I know which one I would rather be driving.

There

forgot to add the ram http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820159015 just an extra $24.

total is $303 before the mail-in rebates... Obviously its not a top of the line pc but it can run crysis on high with good frame rates. I would take this over the ps3 any day.

Obviously with $200 more I can make a pc ten times this one.

Indeed, But I would rather have the Ford... Just Imagine the insurance cost of having a Lamborghini. jk

Lets try it and see how those hermkids scrabble with a response. ***Notice how most of the over zealous vehement ones go in the opposite direction of the price debacle, including high-end parts just to argue the "Value" game. Never mind the fact that most users don't even USE a fraction of what the PC is capable of*** 1. BD-ROM- $100 2. 9600GT- $75 3. AMD Phenom X2 - $65 4. AM2+ class Mainboard - $65 (already over budget) 5. 1GB of DDR800- $20 6. Case - $30 7. XP OEM - $89 Total: $444 Did I miss something?Vadamee

Well a $299 PS3 will let me play all current PS3 titles & upcoming ones..

But i have to admit if someone can build me a nice gaming PC at $299 which can play games released in the past 2 yrs + upcoming titles at descent Settings/visuals & frame rate, i'd be happy to get a gaming PC..

However a $299 budget for gaming PC surely is USELESS for today's games..

Ram is just $24 as i showed you and this pc has a 500gb hard drive as a luxury anyways. For the OS ,you can just use linux for free. Obviously if your invested $299 for a pc a $150 os is not a practical idea.

My rig is 400$ and I'm running Crysis on high, and what do I get:

-Mods

-Free dlc

-Free map packs

-Better online

-10$ cheaper games AND Steam and Impulse weekend sales on both new and old games, not to mention games go down much faster in price when compared to console games

-Better games (objectively, it has the most AAA/AA this gen, just like every gen)

-Better controls, don't want KB+M? plug in a controller

-You get a gaming AND a multimedia system

-DD

-Better graphics

Tell me when the PS3 has that ^^^. I can put in 200$ more and I'd have a killer rig.
