So whats it gonna be a PC or console?

Alright well I have held out on buying anything just to see how everything turned out. Well the consoles are dropping in price and alot of great games are out and coming out. But which one will be the best choice? I use the PC quite a bit and I play a few old demos like unreal tournament 2004 and some old games I got laying around. But my PC is nowhere near what it needs to be to handle the new games that are coming to PC.

My favorite genre is racing, fighting, sports, 3rd person action/adventure, puzzle and the occasional FPS and RPG. Also I do not really want to buy a Wii because I will admit I am a graphics whore and alot of the HD games that I am interested in are not coming to the Wii, and if they are they are watered down to Gamecube/Xbox level.

For your kinds of games the pc is a strong choice but it has no fighting games unless your into mugen. The pc is also the choice for graphics. What are your pc specs and how much do you want to spend ??

The 360 has good games but the hardware has major issues so I could not recommend it personally. The ps3 is a great console but does not have as many games but it has some monsters coming soon. The wii IMO is rubbish don't even think about it right now. Also do you game online and have a hdtv those are important to get the best console gaming experience ??

Thanks for the link :) Answered some stuff I was wanting to know about it.But hell if I can use the PS3 as a PC and for console games I might as well get that?

Also. What are your PC specs? You may be able to do a relatively inexpensive stop gap upgrade depending on what you already have.TiberiusKane

I currently use my gf's laptop which has a intel 1.86 ghz, 500mb of ram, and 945gm express chipset.

If those are your preffered genres and you're not into FPS's much, then I'd definitely recommend a console instead of a PC ( I personally wouldnt, but thats me). Then, it just comes down to whether you like more 360 exclusives or you like more PS3 exclusives.

Ya i'm not a huge FPS fan but I do like to play them occasionally. Exclusives are not really that big of a deal to me... Ya they do make a difference but it's not as big as some of the people around hereplay it out as. I am more concerned about whatfeatures andwhat all the systemcan actually do...

For your kinds of games the pc is a strong choice but it has no fighting games unless your into mugen.

Melty Blood pretty much makes up for the lack of choices by itself.

If you like fighting games then definitely get a PS3 because Tekken 6 is coming soon in 2008and Tekken 5 DR is already out. madterps

Ya fighting games is one of my top genres, I really enjoyed Tekken 5 for the PS2 :).

So if you had a choice to own a console or a PC. You would rather have a console. That would mean no internet, no aim, or anything else a computer does. I would rather have a PC that plays games and does a lot more than just one console.Killfox

Actually the PS3can be used as a PC as well so yes you can get on the internet and use it for all kinds of computer applications. But ya I dont use aim or any of those instant messengers because I have a cell phone ;).

Im all about shooters and rts games.

So i own a nice gaming pc and 360

It depends what kind of RPGs you are looking for. PC doesn't get jrpgs often if thats your thing. And no fighting games on the PC...I know it sucks. :/
