Xbox 360 is the best system to have

It's pretty simple logic really, if you own 3 systems, the best choice is PC + PS3 + Wii. Or you can just buy 1 Xbox 360 instead.

Three systems each offers their own unique offerings, PC is best for competitive multiplayer/Socializing, PS3 for cinematic console experience, and Wii is good for casual fun and charming Nintendo titles. The 360 does all pretty much equal to all 3 systems so just by it instead.

And of course PC + PS3 also happens to be the best combination if you have 2 systems. But just an Xbox 360 is the better and cheaper alternative.

So xbox is the worst platform to own unless you can't afford more than one systems. This means if you're only buying 1 system, it's the best choice.

response threads.

a classic:?

it'd be great if the original was locked though. this one has little future.

Why do I want a closed system, crappy hardware, crappy controls, poor graphics, expensive games, XBL. When I can have a better on experience on PC?

The PC is the best to have as it has most of the other consoles games + more exclusives

I would think that depends on the person.

Was another thread needed?

Preposterous! Please elaborate sir!

On topic: Im guessing this is in response to the other thread?

...I don't get it.

And the games are cheaper so you will make for it quite quickly

Might want to avoid buying a $2000 PC then... You can do that by buying a cheaper one.

As long as you don't mind having to pay hundreds of dollars upgrading your PC every year or so, then sure.

...

Alright, back to the topic. You are wrong. 360 isn't cheaper, especially if you take into account the fact that XBL Gold+360 Slim is pricier than the PS3. Unless you don't care about multiplayer, which you DO. Ha!

I'll play the preference card and say the PS3 is the best system if you can only afford one console

Not really. I haven't upgraded in over 2 years now, and i'm still running games pretty damn well at 1920x1200.

A low budget gamer who can only afford one console, will probably not choose or be able to afford a $2,000 PC.

But yes, if you have the money it's wonderful.

alexfla

Depends how cheap you go. $800-$1000 is a pretty damn goo price for a good computer.

Really, Then why did I still buy a ps3 and wii the year after 360 came out.

For 1/3 of that price you can easily max out every single PC game to date

This is probably one of the most pathetic threads I've come across here. A response thread thats just as bad as the thread its responding to, great.

alexfla

Plenty good for YOU but you probably don't play graphically intensive games.

For most it would defeat it's purpose to be a PC gamer only to play with medium settings.

alexfla

Cost is all about the end user. You can't really give a general price for everyone, especially because the people who spend money to constantly upgrade and stay within the upper echelon in terms of technology, are generally in the minority.

The price you listed is applicable more to hte few than to the many, thus it isn't right.

$2,000 will buy you a MUCH MUCH better PC.

And then every other game I run is completely maxed out, at a fairly good resolution too :?

Even with a $2,000 PC, you can't max out every single PC game to date. Most but not every game.

With a $666 PC you're going to play on medium mostly.

alexfla

Actually... That's completely wrong. Most budget builds i've seen for around that price would actually be able to run *a lot* of games on high/max settings. More intensive games, are in the minority, and thus you could run *more* reasonably well.

[QUOTE="toast_burner"] A $2000 PC isnt a Gaming PC, Its a PC used for time travel and other ridiculously complex stuff.

ferret-gamer

Which I guess only makes it more correct since, I know firsthand that its correct. I was admittedly a little surprised at how powerful my PC turned out to be, but very pleasantly surprised. It's gonna last me a long time.

y'know what bugs me about the scads of dudes telling me a gaming pc is $600 is that they are absolutely correct.

y'know what bugs me further? that they never seem to include an operating system in that, or a gaming mouse and gaming kb, and a monitor, and a sound system.

seriously guys omitting the details is still lying by omission.

so yeah did the guy exaggerate by saying $2000? yeah sure he did, but he didn't exaggerate by much depending on the quality of the extras you wan to buy.

i would say i easily have almost $2000 tied upin my pc setup, yeah i like big monitors and surround sound sue me.

Riverwolf007

I've seen it done, whilst including an OS.

You don't need to include the cost of a monitor, lest we include the cost of a TV with consoles... Or speakers for that matter.

If you can max out the games you play then I guess you don't like graphically intensive games. Aside from Crysis which was released in 2006 and with graphics mods it would still choke out your cheap PC.

alexfla

Crysis was 2007. Also, with a lot of graphics mods, people can actually attain higher performance than vanilla.
