why people say PC GAMING ITS ESPENSIVE?

I just got a pc for $800 + geforce 8800 = $1000     with dirext10 and windows vista, intel V//V  duo 2 core procesor,

Ready to run Crysis with no problem!

Ps3 costed me $1000

xbox360 $600

so there isnt a much difernece, do a smart thing! and buy a new pc to play the REAL generation of games!

... $1000 is a lot of money anyways you spin it. :|Not-A-Stalker

Ps3 costed me $1000

xbox360 $600

WTF?

I see the math he's doing.

all you have to do is take $300 out of your PC expense,

and put it on the consoles expense,

then  you got a solid argument.

Geforce 8800GTX is sub $600...you paid $1000??

either this dude just fell of the boat and some1 is selling him PC components on a %100 markup or he is in a country where he is getting killed on exchange rates or something??

because it is...I can buy the 360 for the cost of a video card...I have a fairly high end pc and it cost almost 3 times as much as my 360 although I could build a PC for the same price as the 360 but the 360 will run games betterMedjai

360 run games better?  CRYSIS says diferent! lol

ok xbox360 is $399 $400 plus tax is $460 plus 1 game = $510 + warranty for 1 year = $610

Ps3 = $600 + warranty = $710 + tax = $770 + 1 game = $840 + HD cable = $900

Hp high intel 2 core procesor 2 gb memory 350 hard drive, and ligth scribe = $810 after taxes,  Geforce 8800 = $399, total is arroun $1200   taht u will b playing crysis and other games to come usin dirext10 taht will leave the console on teh dust. it matter of time

in canada.. a 8800gtx will cost you 600-800 dollors, a good mobo and processor will cost you about $700, the ram will be about $200, sound card, network card, case, dvd drive, and a hard drive will cost about $500 to $1000 depending on the quality

PC GAMING is extremly expensive if you buy the top top top of the line products its not $800 dollors thats for a crap pc. noone with anything less then what i said will run crysis at max.

$1200 bucks really? for a CPU, RAM, DVD-ROM and a Vid card...what about the MOBO, case, power supply, amoung some other components you left out? I think you are a little off...

and I love how you included the price of the game on consoles but not the price of Crysis when you did your PC calculation how convient

not really! it has Intel V//V  2 core procesor, and windows vista and dirext 10 and 2gb memory i just have to ad teh video card today and put some extra gb memory

anyone who bought a 8800gtx is wasting their money. in 6 - 12 months a card will come out twice as good. this is the first generation dx10 cards which will as usual double in performance in the second generation and for the same price.

im just gonan stick with my 7900gtx till then

I think you are confused about what most people consider expensive you are like its only $1400, well the 360 is 2/7 that price...an avg console lifespan 5 years avg high end pc lifespan 2 years, if you don't think thats true try to run STALKER on that system you built a cple years ago to run Doom3 or Half Life 2 $500 every 5 years or $1400 every 2 years...how is that not expensive??
