Who really is the one paying too much?

DiRT on PC = $39.99 on 360, PS3 = $59.99
Overlord on PC = $39.99 on 360, PS3 = $59.99

Come on people, you're acting like pc gamers need 10,000 dollar computers to play these games. Give me a break.

their playing downgraded versions.

they should cost 20 dollars because they stink so bad.

:o

Teh 20 dolla's!

how?

they look the same on both platforms.....except the PC one can go to much higher resolutions.....

Your math implies that I even spend any money at all on my PC games :).

Oh how I love the copyright system in Canada...

When you factor in all the hardware of a PC, it gets pretty close. Did you factor in Windows Vista Ultimate? What about Quad-SLI 8800's? Don't forget the Phys-X card and the accelerated NIC! RAID is a must with 500GB drives. You'll need about 4 GB of RAM and a Quad Core CPU. Don't forget the Audigy Sound Blaster card (onboard audio is terrible!). All that hardware's pretty hot, so you'll need a water cooling system.

I also hear that games PC games will begin requiring holographic media in the next few months.

Windows Vista Ultra? 4GB RAM? I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or just dumb.

"Its like putting a bunch of copyrighted books in a room full of photocopiers"

And the average Canadian hasn't bought a single CD since.

Anyway back on topic: renting Dirt and Overlord from blockbuster=24 bucks including restocking fee for keeping them out a month. And once again the "PC games are cheaper" arguement fails.

I guess you missed that thread. A few weeks ago I was dumbfounded with this same argument. All of the hardware that I mentioned wasn't brought up, but a quad-core CPU was (The Cell has 8, surely Crysis will need at least 4!), Raid was, a Phys-X card was (advanced physic processing is standard in consoles), Vista Ultimate was, Dual-SLI was, as was (amazingly) the accelerated NIC (I was amazed these even existed).

I am a console gamer and a PC gamer 5% of my time. I do agree with this though. If I had the money to upgrade "upgrade enough to last 3 years or so"...I would...If I could get my PC games to work really well with a controller " they just arent as responsive on pc" and "you have to configure every button to hopefully work right"...

I have been a console gamer since the age of 9 back in 1980..I have 15 consoles and plan to stick with them as long as I can afford it and as long as they dont keep trying to get every penny I make....

That being said....I may get back to some pc gaming soon as the prices on games and parts have stayed nice and affordable.

You spew crap everywhere you go? Crysis will need atleast 4? Physics card? You think EA only wants 4 people to buy Crysis? The Crysis's recommended requirements are simple enough for only a $900 pc.
