THIS is PC GAMING!!!!

Too own all three consoles does cost more then a gaming PC.

1. Wii = $250
2. 360 = $350
3. PS3 = $400 (Hey I'm being generious here lol)

That's a grand right there. Lets not include the cost of additional controllers, paying $10 more for games, and possibly XBL if you want it.

Blackbond

And to have a PC that looks significantly better than consoles..

8800GT $260

E6600 =$230

1066Mhz Motherboard = $110

2GB PC6400= $100 (In reality I'd get PC9200 to match what the motherboard is capable of)

DTS-Connect Sound Card = $110

PC Case = $60

600W PSU = $100

120GB HDD = $50

Close enough..

[QUOTE="m3Boarder32"][QUOTE="Blackbond"][QUOTE="m3Boarder32"]

No you're wrong..

You're considering games like The Darkness not to be exclusive...but in reality they are "console exclusive"

Blackbond

The PC has 54 exclusives games rated AA or higher while the consoles have 23 exclusive games AA or higher. Currently the consoles have 34 more total games AA or higher then the PC.

These stats date back to 2005. The day the 360 came out.

You didn't count The Darkness..Ninja Gaiden Sigma, VF5, Rockband, and many many other console games.....Why not?

There is no such term as a console exclusive on SW. Exclusive is a term defined as being available only on one platform. It being on consoles and not PC doesn't count as exclusive. Now if you want to talk about them being games on Console and not PC then man that would take a lot of work to figure out. Do you want to volunteer for the job? I sure as hell don't want to go through all that work.

Then stop arguing with me that "Console Gaming > PC Gaming"

If the argument is about "Console Gaming > PC Gaming" then "Console exclusives" are very rellevant

now that is the price of a decent pc 970 and the console is 1000 and 930 with a core 360

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]As usual it takes 3 consoles to stand up to the singular one entity that is PC.drunken_end

becuz all three console combine is still cheaper than a semi decent pc.

Yea-no.

If you have a case, hard drive, dvd drive, and motherboard, you can play Crysis on 1/2 Very High 1/2 High settings on resolutions up to about 1600x1200 (more than 1080p) for less than 550 dollars, ($220 for ATi 3870, $150 for AMD 5200+ Black Edition, $100 for a 500W PSU, $100 for a mid-range motherboard, $80 for 2gigs of RAM = $550)

If you have never owned a computer, you can build one that can run Crysis at all High/Very High for ~800 tops.

PS3 (400) + 360 (350) + Wii (250) = 1000 dollars.... Oh wow, look at that, PC gaming costs much LESS than owning all the consoles?!!?!?! Zomg!

1st that isnt half decent that is low spectrun http://iax-tech.com/video/3870/38704.htm

2nd I counted 650 + everything else = more than consoles,

dont try to hide theh HDD = 80 case = 80 optical drive = 30 and KBM = 20 (I build desktops for a living)

consoles are xbox core= 280

ps3 40 gb = 400

wii = 250

=930 vs 830 on low setting for crysis

LMFAO!

They're testing an ATI card, but using old Nvidia drivers?! Where the hell did you find that POS website?

1st: Wrong drivers!: Using Nvidia drivers on an ATI card...they're completely different!

2nd: Even those Nvidia drivers being used are old. They're old beta drivers...

Where the **** did you find that pathetic website?

:P lol to tell the truth I was just wondering the same thing after I posted :P

but still a decent pc is more expensive than all 3 consoles.

Consoles > PC imo.

More games that suit my taste.

the-very-best

This guy our the the-very-best speaks the truth.

That's more than "decent", that's pretty high end.

[QUOTE="drunken_end"]

Wow, since when did each System come together to lead an epic fight against PC? :|

I believe this is called System Wars, not console vs pc. That means you can't just combine systems. I can easily say that PS3 + PC is the best, because PC eventually gets most 360 games and all the PS3 exclusives...

Your argument is lame.

m3Boarder32

Yes...PC+Console Gaming is better than Console Gaming..

But Console Gaming is still better than PC Gaming :P

That's merely an opinion.

PC Case = $60

600W PSU = $100

Close enough..

Not so fast...If you've got a case, which I assume most people do because most people own a computer...then there's no reason for a new case.

Sound card is completely not neccesary, especially on today's motherboards which have high defeniton integrated sound and Dolby surround sound support.

You can find 2 gigs of PC2 6400 on Newegg for as low $50. You can find good brands like Corsair for $75:|

You forgot about hard drives also...but wait, if you have a computer, you have on of those also...

Edit: You can find 600 W Power supplies for as low as $20 on Newegg.

So let's recalculate the total cost.

8800gt = $260

e6600 - $230

2 gigs of PC2 6400 ram = $75

1066 motherboard = $110 (with integrated sound)

Case = free if you have an old computer

Hard drive = free^

Power Supply = as low as $25 compared to your $100 :roll:

So we have your version: $970

vs.

Reality: $700

$1000 (PS3 + Wii + 360) > $970 > $700

Even though I like Console gaming better statistically you are wrong.

1. More AA's
2. More AAE's
3. More AAA's
4. More AAAE's
5. More exlusives
6. Better Online
7. Better Graphics

PC wins in all 7 catagories.

Ya... and how many of those AA & AAA titles are not a FPS, RTS or RPG??? While I enjoy those genres alot, I want my Platformers (Mario Galaxy), Action (Ninja Gaiden), & Adventure titles. Plus 40" HDTV & Sofa >>>> 21" WS Monitor & Comp. Chair

I wouldn't bother with a soundcard that doesn't support DTS-Connect, I would connect the soundcard to my receiver via SPDIF to get surround sound..And you can only do that with a DTS-Connect sound card..

And what's the point in getting a 1066Mhz Motherboard and PC26400 Ram? Might as well get PC9200 RAM? No?

PC don't have Metal Gear Solid, Mario, Eternal Sonata, Zack & Wiki, Zelda, Metriod, Super Smash Brothers, Socom, or any other title or series that console exclusive.

And I have no interested in Crysis, trade that in and give me another PC title like Starcraft.

1st that isnt half decent that is low spectrun http://iax-tech.com/video/3870/38704.htm

2nd I counted 650 + everything else = more than consoles,

dont try to hide theh HDD = 80 case = 80 optical drive = 30 and KBM = 20 (I build desktops for a living)

consoles are xbox core= 280

ps3 40 gb = 400

wii = 250

=930 vs 830 on low setting for crysis

LMFAO!

They're testing an ATI card, but using old Nvidia drivers?! Where the hell did you find that POS website?

1st: Wrong drivers!: Using Nvidia drivers on an ATI card...they're completely different!

2nd: Even those Nvidia drivers being used are old. They're old beta drivers...

Where the **** did you find that pathetic website?

:P lol to tell the truth I was just wondering the same thing after I posted :P

but still a decent pc is more expensive than all 3 consoles.

That's more than "decent", that's pretty high end.

:lol: no just no,

my dads rig is pretty highend but not that.

he has a

Q6700

evga 8800gts640

a nvidia 680i (dont know the brand or name)

2 gig kingston oc high speed ram

a crazy ass case

and a dell something monitor.

and it cost him 4000 dollars to boot.

that is pretty highend but still cant run crysis on very high at 1080p (i never ran crysis on it though :P )

Crazy Ass Case =/= High end

8800GT is better than the older 8800GTS640

ahh yeah and so everyone know cases doesnt equal high end I just but it there and you'll need a case with alota airflow.

and yeah 8800gt is morepowerfull than 8800gts so are you saying my dad comp isnt close to highend.

No, I'm saying the PC i built (in words) and the PC your dad has are not that much different..

[QUOTE="Blackbond"]As usual it takes 3 consoles to stand up to the singular one entity that is PC.rowzzr

In other words, Console Gaming > PC Gaming

sigh. dude, pc's are used to make these console games. so saying that pc games suck is like saying console gaming sucks altogether. you know, the only thing stopping people from pc gaming is the expensive upgrade they have to make everytime. plus, people can install joysticks on pc's so they can play controller based games. this argument ends.

My setup was worth..

HDTV $2000

Speakers and Subwoofer: $900

Audio/Video Receiver: $400

Audio/Video Cabinet: $1700

PS3: $600

360: $400

HD DVD Player: $200

Wii: $250

Extra Controller for Each Console: $150

Total: $6600

And I spent $1000 on my laptop...The cost of PC gaming is not the issue for me..

Too own all three consoles does cost more then a gaming PC.

1. Wii = $250
2. 360 = $350
3. PS3 = $400 (Hey I'm being generious here lol)

That's a grand right there. Lets not include the cost of additional controllers, paying $10 more for games, and possibly XBL if you want it.

m3Boarder32

And to have a PC that looks significantly better than consoles..

8800GT $260

E6600 =$230

1066Mhz Motherboard = $110

2GB PC6400= $100 (In reality I'd get PC9200 to match what the motherboard is capable of)

DTS-Connect Sound Card = $110

PC Case = $60

600W PSU = $100

120GB HDD = $50

Close enough..

Have fun buying extra controllers, XBL, extra cables, oh and the HDTV along with all 3 consoles :roll:

If TV's are generally in all homes then so are PC's and essentially upgrading a PC is cheaper then buying a completely new one. The reason I said you need all of this is simple. You don't need of all that. Just like you don't need a high end PC to play games. You don't need a PC that maxes everything to have a gaming PC. You don't need it if you don't want it. Just the same as you don't need an HDTV to play console games.

Because since Hermits brag about there superior resolutions its important that you have a monitor that shows the difference. Im sorry a 19inch monitor cant look much better past 720p( I know mine goes to 2054x2054) and all it does is make the text so small and the image barely sharper. So you are going to need about a $1200 dollar LCD monitor to take advantage of (TEH SUPERIOR RESOLUTION). And extra cables? Um the only extra cable needed for all the consoles is one HDMI cable for the PS3 the rest of the consoles come with it. Extra controllers? If your friends can bring thereown computers then mine can bring there own controllers.

You don't need a $1200 LCD monitor to achieve higher resoultion then consoles lol. You make crazy points. One the Wii doesn't come with its 480P compatible cables. Two Why would people need to bring over computers? And if they did how is that any different then someone bringing over consoles?

I swear people need to realize you don't have to spend an insane ammount to beat consoles in graphics. You guys are just trying to break the bank to MAX EVERYTHING to the LIMIT.

Listen I like consoles better then PC's. I am a console gamer. But I recognize statistically and factually going by games ect the PC is the best. I'm only making outlandish statements in response to console gamers outlandish statements towards PC.

1. For example Console Gamer A will say it cost an insane amount of money to get a PC that out performs a console and that PC gaming is more expensive.
2. Yet when you counter with adding the price of all three consoles and an HDTV console gamers reply with they don't need an HDTV.
