Wow... what's the poing of this thread.... high end xbox LOLBebi_vegeta

Yea Xbox360 Elite

Wow... what's the poing of this thread.... high end xbox LOLBebi_vegeta

oxymoron FTW

And for those specs, you'll survive for quite a bit of time, well into next gen, and having the definition of awesome in your graphics.

So yeah, if you wish, PC gaming is $3000. I won't even try to justify it against consoles. I'll just tell you that some people don't do 99c thursdays... and some people don't even see the Six dollar burger.

Some people simply enjoy the $84 porterhouse from Morton's.

Wait, you only want the best, but settle for a $1000 HDTV? C'mon, at least go for a 62 inch plasma and above. Not to mention, HDTVs are NOT part of a console comparison, since you could get a monitor for HD console gaming, or an HDTV for PC gaming.

And to answer the question you edited into the topic. I'd rather have a $5000 computer (that's worth $5000, so no prebuilt garbage) than a $5000 car. Especially considering my car's worth quite a bit more than that.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]Wow... what's the poing of this thread.... high end xbox LOLLatina_Chick

Yea Xbox360 Elite

Will you have the same results in graphic performance with different x360? yes?

I alaways want the best one or nothing. The high-end Xbox360+Hd Tv cost 500+1000= $1500

The High-End PC costs

Intel Core2 Q6850=$999

Useless you will not notice a huge difference with a Core 2 duo lower then this the majority of the time.. Basically you just wasted $600 at least.

Geforce8800 SLI=$1350

SLI = Useless the majority of the time. A single Ultra, GTX, or GTS will play the upcoming games at max settings.

Nforce 680imobo=$200

Another useless trinket, price does not equate to the best motherboard.. I can find just as good motherboards for $130..

1 TB hd= $400

Another useless item, there is no way in hell you will need this much if your going to play it for video games.

Memory 4gb= $200

You can get memory cheaper then that for around $80 for 2gb of ram.. And 4gbs are not needed for Xp (XP doesn't even register them) and Vista has yet to prove its worth..

1000 watt psu=$300

Yeah that is so worth it, a PSU that can power a stove and refrigerator.. There is no way in hell ANY one needs a PSU of this size or magnitude, you can get a top one for $130 that will support everything that you have listed.

22 inch monitor=$300

You can get a montior of that size for cheaper then that.

Accesories= Minimum $500 (casing,cooling,cables,sound system keyboard mouse,etc)

I do not see how you can get around this.. Sound cards you can get a great one for $100 tops.. Mouse $50, Keyboard $50.. case you can get one for $60 to $80.. Cables? Everything should have came with cables.. Stock cooling for the system should be just fine because there is NO WAY you need to overclock at this time.. Speakers? You can get great ones for $100... And the best of the best will always be headphones.

Total=$3000 or if u dont want to build, u can buy an alienware Aurora starting at $4999. U can buy a car with that

Best of the best is a real dumb approach when building computers.. Because in the end you are looking for the biggest bang for the buck and your system you projected is far from that.

You left out the home theater system in that comparison. And $1,000 won't get you a TV worth bragging about.

High End xbox360? are u new in the video game world? :roll:VACASCULIADAS

No I am not I ment Elite but I guess you are new to gamespot

Sad thing about this, is this is not a option in Michigan. The big 3 basically lobby to block any form of mass public transportation.. Sucks really.

$3000 is a big chunck of change.. The car doesn't have to cost as little as that.. $3000 could be a downpayment.

[QUOTE="GhettoTaxii"]If anyone ever buys a high end PC over a car, they have no life.foxhound_fox

Ah, you got me there, I live in a small city where things are sort of spread out, only like 400,000 people. I guess I have never been exposed to the big city enough to realise this. :]

I'd take the car, sell it, buy a decked out PC with the proceeds, and still have tons of money left over.

GET THE CAR, THEN GET A JOB, THEN GET THE PC. SIMPLE AS THAT

I'll take my Z06 over my PC any day of the week.

Gaming is just a fun way to pass a little time, but driving anice sports car is a thrill everyone should get to experience.

hmmm, i think its not difficult to to have both. also if you want high end, then what about a really high end tv which itself costs more than $ 2500

Why would you need a TV that expensive.
Honestly, videophiles who pay that much for a TV is just rediculous. You should never pay more htan 1500 for a TV in my opinion. Then agian, some people do have money out thier ass, so why not at that point, but its just so impractical.

thats what i meant to imply. what would i do with such uber system when you can get the system which will max ( or almost max) almost all games, for much less

i am never really interested in playing the games at the max. the way technology progresses, it is difficult to keep playing games at max at 12fps for most people. for system with costs much less, you can have a performance which would only slighly less that that sysem. i find it to be practical.

You always want the best one? You list out the best possible hardware for gaming, then claim you can get a car for that? If you wanted the best, you'd get that PC, wouldn't you? It is better than any console hardware, isn't it?

Please make up your mind. Do you want the best, or do you want to settle for less? Because for $3400- $4999, you certainly are not going to get the best car, now are you?

Assuming equal cost, the PC. Bikes are all you need in the city.AfterShafter

agree, what's the point in owning a car when all you do is sit in traffic jams.
