A $400 PC will actually have no problem running this gen's games at about 1280 x 1024 with details on Medium/High... which, is not "lesser quality" than a PS3 since most of the time, the PS3 STRUGGLES to produce current gen games at the equivalent of Medium/High quality PC graphics at even 720P!! You DO realize the PS3's graphics technology is based on a graphics card that you can now pick up for $20 (or find for free at the bottom of the "lame, outdated and obsolete parts" bin at any OEM PC dealer)
[citation][nom]Xuzial[/nom] ...You can't buy a 17" monitor and think you're gonna get 1920x1200. You have to buy at least a 24" to support all those pixels and that right there is 300$.[/citation]
This is purely asinine... Factoring in the cost of a new monitor to a PC's price to get higher resolutions is the same as factoring in the price of the new HD TV you'll have to purchase to play PS3 games at 1080P (all 3 PS3 games that can actually play in 1080 that is)... so now you're lookin' at... what? an additional $1200 tacked on to the price of your console?
[citation][nom]Xuzial[/nom] I own both a high end gaming computer and a PS3, cause some titles don't come out on the PC, and sometimes I just want to sit away from a screen and play a video game on the big screen and sit on the couch ... some titles don't come out on the PC ... a cheap PC won't run these high end games. [/citation]
Why do console gamers INSIST on shooting up these same, previously deflected arguments??? I mean really? Buy a new brand of ammo people! ANY PC you build now can EASILY plug straight into a plasma or flat panel TV set... a wireless keyboard/mouse combo only costs $25-- so you can play games from your couch, all you like. And hell... if you really want the "authentic, across-the-like-a-couch potato-console experience" on your PC, just buy a few wireless console gamepads and plug'em in... cripes... (incidentally, the system in my living room could probably be purchased in full, now, for about $400--even with an outdated 3870HD and a 5200+ Dual Core, it still smokes the snot out of the PS3 [graphically and general performance] on all cross-platform titles I've played this gen: Oblivion, Bioshock, UT3, The Orange Box, Silent Hill: Homecoming, Farcry 2, Fallout 3, DMC4, DEADSPACE, PROTOTYPE, GHOSTBUSTERS, SFIV, Crysis and Mass Effect... oh... wait... no.. sorry.. Crysis and Mass Effect didn't actually come out on PS3.)
