Whats the better deal? A PS3 and 360 for 600, or a 600 Gaming PC?

assuming you can buy a 600 dollar gamingpc with purchasing an Operating system. My answer is the PS3/360, yours?

PC because it does more than just games and movies.

360/PS3.... because honestly... you're not getting much of a gaming PC for $600.... heck the vid card I have, which is a couple years old already, is still half that price.

Depends on what your after, I suppose. I would go with the PS3/360, but I already have those two.:P

hoola

PS360 > Gaming PC cause of all the exclusive are way better than any on PC also a gaming pc for 600 ? i doubt it can even run crysis at high resoJonas008

I can not belive I am saying this but I would get the two consoles. Many more games to enjoy.millerlight89

This, plus the fact that if you build a pc or get a gaming PC for 600 its not going to be that good, you need to buy the Operating System so include that.

For $600 i'd go for the consoles. If my budget was a little higher, say for a few games etc, i'd definately go for the PC.

As a PS3/360 owner, it's a bit of a waste to have both. So I'm going to go with PS3 + netbook. You can't chain me down with your "pre-selected poll answers"!

If you were going to have to buy monitor and the input devices, then you would be right. millerlight89

Input devices you'd have to buy new (I think I've destroyed keyboards, mice, and gamepads in pretty much equal measure over the years - they're pretty much consumable parts), but for monitor and speakers, it's reasonable to assume that a new gaming device (console or PC) would be plugged into whatever you already have, requiring only the appropriate (DVI/HDMI/DVI-HDMI) cable.

[QUOTE="Hathesulacon"]This is right, while comp graphics are nice. You honestly aren't getting the same value with games like UC2, God of War 3, Reach, Fable 3, gears 3, Crackdown 2 and more. You would just be missing out on too much. Besides get an average card for your pc and scale the graphics down since "graphics dont matter"

yeah well the PC does incur more money thats for sure. Still like you said, id take the better games and exclusives over the PC

It can easily max Crysis at 1280x1024. Go down to High and you can get much higher res and filtering.

PS3 and 360. $600 for a gaming PC isn't going to be the best thing ever since you won't be able to run most games on a good setting. And, there are a good amount of games the both consoles will give you.

ps360. But i would try and shell out 300 more dollars to get PS3/PC. I love my 360, but it shines most when you dont have a gaming PC. You do miss out, but in the smallest way wwith PS3/PC ccombo.

I guess I hit a nerve with that one, ok well let the poll rule out, i think this one is a no brainer but you are right, not everyone is going to agree with my opinion and I understand that.

lol well we shall see.

Putting two platforms up against one? Typical of SW. Let's put PC + X up against Y platform and see how that works out? I have this odd feeling platform Y would object.

Either way; PC has more exclusive games than both those platforms put together. So it would have to come from preference to argue less exclusive games and lower quality cross platform games are better.

600 dollars is 600 dollars

my favorite games are almost always capcom multiplat and generally 360 is best for that.

I think you have to go with the PS3/360 I mean there is just more support for those two consoles than there is for any PC atm. Each console in its own right has a nice list of exclusives to boast and...multi-plats tend to be more dedicated and designed for those two systems.

Okay... so I was wrong about how long its been on the market.... but so what.... it is $300 like I said, half the price of the "$600 PC".... I'm already thinking about upgrading, I wouldnt want to game on the PC with anything less than what I currently have.

An argument based purely on a figure; with no context on what you get for that figure.

If people are so price driven they would all be on the Wii, the fact of the matter is they are willing to pay more than the cheapest product available to access a range of features that cheaper products do not provide.

PC gaming has access to more games and it offers higher resolutions/quality filters than consoles do, therefore the logical choice is obvious. It only isn't obvious when you start throwing preferences in there, otherwise why pay for access to less games at a lower quality?

$600 on a PC from an actual store is going to be a piece of crap. Hahadouken

Every PC i've seen posted includes everything for the tower. How could they leave out PSU, HDD etc and expect it to work.

Stopo using hyperbole as in this case, it just doesn't work.

[QUOTE="moistsandwich"]

[QUOTE="110million"] Yeah, its still around $300 even on newegg.. cause its not 2 years old. :lol:110million

Doesn't matter how powerful the GPU is.... can the PC play... Halo 3? MGS? Forza 3? GT5? Halo: Reach? The LastGuardian? FFXIII? Heavy Rain? Red Dead Redemption? Alan Wake? Crackdown 2?.... etc. etc. etc.

Point is.... when I'm gaming on PC I want things too look good, because thatsone of the pluses about gaming on a PC, is having a better looking version. So if I'm building a PC it isn'tgonna be some $600 piece of garbage.

Plus 360/PS3combined give you so many moregames, that the PC will never see. Yeah I know PC has games consoles don't... but the numbers are not in PC'sfavor... unless you are going to count games prior to 2005?
