PC is for kids who are too cheap to buy a gaming system but expect the same entertainment value.

PS3 is for fanboys.

Oops, I think I just started it.

wow! I agree with both of these statements in their entirety.

Really? Consoles are cheaper then my $2,000+ computer? You sure?

Besides, PC's give a DIFFERENT gaming value I say. Much better for FPS thanks to the precision of the mouse.

Besides, I like my monthly subscriptions and new challenges and playing adventure games, MMOs, etc...only FFXI was on PS2 as an MMO, the rest are console games, period, that's why I build beasts of computers to last me 5+ years

Amen! This beast should last me 4-5 years with mabye one upgrade along the way. I know the 1tb hard drive will last me.

i wasnt that impressed with the demo of force unleashed. in preview screenshots of the game, the graphics looked PHENOMENAL (with the exception of the wii version), which was a major selling point for me. however, when sitting down with the demo for the xbox 360 version, they seemed less than breathtaking. maybe i was playina a wii version port?

the controls also leave something to be desired.

They looked pretty good to me and the mechanics were sooo much fun.

PC = People who like precision shooters, MMOs, and good RTS's.

PS3 = Blu-ray, Laid back gamers, People who don't mind mediocre game play in the beginning and know they will have it later on. (Sony builds their systems on a 10 year plan).

Xbox 360 = Halo, More Serious Gamers, People who demand great game play now not caring about how it will be later.

Wii = People who want to..... move when they play video games, and don't really care about graphics... since the wii has none.

As for ST:TFU, I won't be buying it. There is a total of 10 Levels and Fallout 3 is coming out. And Far Cry 2. And Socom: Confrontation. I just wanted to share how fun the demo was.

only 10 levels ? O_o

What on!? Wii has amazing graphics.
As does GC not as good as the 360 but still good

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #35 on:** September 01, 2008, 06:44:55 PM »

"Wii" and "Amazing Graphics" in the same sentence is an contradiction.

the sheer fact that the wii is stuck at 480p alone hurts the graphics... a LOT.

I agree with Soundman and you, Wii has better games for people who don't want to play gore blood hack slash swear and other bad things type of games, thats what 360 and PS3 are for

The PS3 is only good for playing blu-ray's

yes, its a cheap blu-ray player. thats about the only thing it has going for it

Reggie Flores · « **Reply #42 on:** September 01, 2008, 11:08:10 PM »

It's only cheaper cuz it's crap. Ever see a side by side comparison of PS3 vs. Blu-Ray? PS3 bites the dust hard.

Ever seen a side by side comparison of a 360 vs Ps3? 360 bites the dust hard.
Ever seen a side by side comparison of a 360 vs Wii? Wii bites the dust hard.

The reason the Ps3 has a blue-ray is because blue-ray is simply better than DVD/HD-DVD. The Ps3 is more of a computer than it is a console with the things that you can do with it. Blu-ray holds a ton of more of information than a DVD.

Can the Ps3 run Linix/Unix/Windows? You bet. Its more diverse than an Xbox or a Wii.

I will agree that the games right now are all found on the 360 but in time the Ps3 will pull ahead.

Sony builds their systems to last 10 years and come out with things for them even when they are outdated so people who can't upgrade their systems can still play games like the rest of us.

Ask that from Nintendo and Microsoft. When the 360 came out in a matter of months, if not weeks, the originol Xbox was obsolete.

The only thing I can see the Wii beating out all the other systems is originality.
The only thing I can see the Xbox beating out all other systems is in Online Play/Games.

The Ps3, IMHO, is the middle ground. Has nice online play, decent originality (Six-Axis, Blu-ray), and fun games.

I'm pretty sure with 600 dollars + the 100 or so you'd fork out for extra controlers, blue ray discs etc I could get a whole new computer, let alone an upgrade.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #45 on:** September 02, 2008, 04:41:41 PM »

Also, one awesome advantage to the PC over other consoles....

Today I discovered I can force my graphics cards to override the previous 3D settings on any program, and replace em with new ones.

Example, I ran my the original Unreal game at 1440x900 (my monitors max resolution), 32xQ anti-Aliasing and 16x Antisotropy. Aside from low quality textures, cheesy animations, and low polygon models, the game looks great now.

Thats one area the PC seriously excells over consoles, you all lack the smoothness powers of Anti-Aliasing.

Since when was the Six-Axis Original?

And the Wii can run Linux/Unix....

What other system has Six-Axis?
And don't say Wii.... It has motion detection thingy.
Tell me how Wii runs with the latest version of Linix/Unix.. and IF it can run Windows tell me how well it runs with Vista.

O.o Weird. It shouldn't do that.

Well the Twighlight Hack lets you boot up any homebrew app, and most importantly, the homebrew channel...

Cant run windows tho, shame really.
