I won't be a PS3 fanboy and just tell you to buy a PS3.

Don't.

Upgrade your P.C.

Wait till '08, then buy a PS3.

Agreed, don't waste your money right now where it has no good games, where PC has Epic games, that are free.

To be honest, I would say PC. There really isn't anything right now that makes anyone want to buy a PS3 now. But a PC has infinite uses. So go upgrade your PC. :p

Get yourself a PC. They pretty much trounce all consoles since they have the potential to be true multimedia juggernauts depending on how you deck them out.

Platform games are enjoyable to everyone, but when you have one of the most potential devices to be the most powerful electronic at your disposal, in my opinion you could be using a computer instead. At least from what I heard a computer can be more powerful than any system released out there when upgraded properly.

PS3 if you are a people person, its really fun when you playing with a friend on your side. PC for school work and solo mmorpg.

An idle computer uses far less power than a computer in use.



Anyway, upgrade your PC. You'll get a better bang for your buck if you go with your PC

I'd say PC for short-term, but PS3 for longterm.
As it stands, there won't be any (by my standards) AAA titles for the PS3, for quite a while.

PC, on the other hand, will allow you to play the majority of good games that'll make their way to the 360. You can get one right now, and enjoy Overlord and Bioshock, which are pretty amazing games.

Then, there's also the fact that, as a gamer, you'll probably spend the majority of your time playing MMORPGs... because, offline games are finite. If you plan to play games like Warhammer Online, as I do, I'd get a good PC. You won't regret it, when you're able to run all the upcoming MMORPGs at a solid 60fps.

That's kinda redundant. Or maybe it's just stupid.

lol wut?


I think you have them the wrong way around. PC's possibilties are limitless. In 6 years you'll have to get rid of your PS3 for a PS4.









Also, Spore...

Mmorpgs you're playing with people, but it's not the same experience as playing co-op or something with someone next to you.

He has $500 for either, if he used it on a PC, he'd probably have to get more upgrades later down the road anyways.

I guess upgrade you PC right now, and get a PS3 later. Or you could get a 360. Never mind, you already have one? Why both 360 and PS3? :p

That would make sense, if a $500 PC could last you all the way until, and through the lifecycle of a PS4.
FIrstly, a PS3 and PS4 will cost you less, and last longer than a PC.

Secondly, you completely misinterpreted what I said. The intent was to express that good games will be coming out for the PS3 in hails, in a couple of years, whereas, for the PC, you're able to get great games, right this instant.

Though, the latter was probably my fault, because I didn't word it appropriately.

AAA titles for the PS3, for quite a while. .

Fanboy.... rage.... building.

Seeing as I have time on my hands, have a look at AAA games out currently on the PS3

Rainbow Six: Vegas
Resistance: Fall of Man
Fight Night: Round 3
The Bigs
Calling All Cars!
The Darkness
DiRT
ES IV: Oblivion
F.E.A.R
Heavenly Sword
Lair (Gasp!)
Motorstorm
Madden's
NBA Street Homecourt
Ninja Gaiden: Sigma
Skate
Super Stardust HD
Tekken: Dark Ressurrection
GRAW2
Splinter Cell Double Agent
Virtua Fighter 5
CoD3
And finally WARHAWK

That's quite a few, and in my opinion it has the best Holiday lineup.

Now, to get on topic, it's kind of a stalemate for me, it really depends on how much upgrading you need, which depends on if you're even able to upgrade your PC. I'm leaning towards a PS3 (Go figure) seeing that there's such a radical price difference. Then again, if you're crafty and can get games for free, it might be worth upgrading.

the PC definitely has more good games than the ps3. and Oblivion should be taken off that list, its crap without the mods.

I would go for a PS3 if your only spending $500.

You should just save up and buy a better computer.

Ok fine, let's look at 360 exclusives:

Dead or Alive
Gears of War (Not for long)
Kameo
Perfect Dark Zero
Project Gotham Racing
Saint's Row
Viva Pinata
Assault Heroes

Now for the PS3:

Calling All Cars!
Heavenly Sword
Lair
Motorstorm
Ninja Gaiden Sigma (I guess?)
Ridge Racer 7
Resistance: Fall of Man
Super Stardust
Virtua Fighter 5
Warhawk

360: 8
PS3: 10

That means that the PS3 released more AAA exclusive games in less than half of the time than the 360, that seems hardly like a slow roll in of games.

Also, after the holiday season that's only going to grow further.
