So in the PSN store I see that The Wipeout HD bundle is $24.99. I also see that Wipeout HD is $9.99 and the Fury expansion is also $9.99. If I am understanding correctly the bundle is charging $5 more than it costs to buy everything in it individually. Am I misunderstanding something here?

My monitor is 1600x900 so it won't do 1680x1050 resolution. Big screen TV's aren't meant to be sat close to anyway. My point is that in regard to my original question I will be playing games at 720p and I am happy with that resolution and people should take that into account when answering my original question.

with a 4650, if ur screen size is 19", then the PC edition of console games would run fine, but if u had a 22" monitor, once u crank the resolution and the AA, that card is not gonna hold up very well. If you had chosen a 4850 or above for 22", then the PC version would win( I run a 4850 with an older core 2 2.13GHz, and Batman was excellent!)

I think my monitor is 21" and I can't really see a difference if I increase the resolution past 1280x720. 720p is high definition and beyond it gives you diminishing returns. It is also what most Xbox 360 games run natively at. It takes somewhere more like a 42" TV to see a difference between 720p and 1080 depending on how close you are to it.

So I finally found a graphics card that would fit in my mini PC. It's a Radeon HD 4650, I also have 4GB DDR2 Ram and a Pentium 2.4 GHz dual core. I know it's not high end but it seems to run most games respectably at 720p. For example it runs Crysis on high but would probably struggle with very high. My dilemma is I was planning on getting a 360 soon and am wondering about some games which version to buy.

I was thinking I would get games that I would be using a controller for like Burnout Paradise and Arkham Asylum on the 360. Is there any reason to consider otherwise?

I've heard some games like Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2 are more graphically optimized for the PC than the consoles. Things like draw distance etc. Would my setup be good enough to take advantage of the enhancements? What about a game that's a few years old like Oblivion or Bioshock?

What about a FPS like Modern Warfare that seem to be designed with the console in mind, with it's quick look aiming and such?

Also the Bioware games Mass Effect and Dragon age have a better control setup on the PC right? So is there any reason I should consider the console version of those?

I know the games will run smoother on the console, the issue is that for some of these games the PC version is better. I heard enthusiastic recommendations of the PC version of Dragon Age and to a lesser extent Mass Effect. The other games I'm asking about like Borderlands are First Person which as you all know control better with a mouse. So for example it was worth getting the PC version of Left 4 Dead even though it doesnt runs as smooth as the console version because of controls, free DLC and mods etc. So I'm wondering if the PC versions of these other games would be better on my system than a more stable but not as good controls console version.
