Since DMC4 needs to install 5GBs worth of data on the PS3 hard drive (and takes 20 minutes,... eek!) - the PS3 is no longer a console and thus a PC.

So, since PCs do not below on SW - according to the a good portion of you, nether does the PS3.

To be honest, consoles stopped being consoles when they moved from cartridges to discs.

See, I can state opinion as fact too.

Neitehr is the 360. A game console is usually only associated with games and tahts it. IF we use this mentallity, tehre hasnt been a real games console in a long time. Now they play DVDs and go on the internet and watch High Def movies. So neither of these consoles are really game consoles anymore.

The only reason why PC woundn't belong on SW's is because it would dominate everything. There was a thread that had all three consoles VS. PC. The PC doesn't belong on SW's because its a beast.

IMO, consoles have obviously always been computers...the thing that separates a console from a computer is the homogenous operating system and standard control...damn, I almost sounded smart for a second...

Its a console because it is a unified platform, not because of what it can and cannot do.

Required hard disk instillation is now what constitutes a Personal Computer? That's news to me. Last time I checked a PC was a microcomputer designed for individual use, as by a person in an office or at home or school, for such applications as word processing, data management, financial analysis, or computer games.

Don't forget you could browse the web and use a mouse and keyboard.

The PS3 is truly a supah computer.

You use a Playstation 3 primarily for gaming. It's a console.
