any old pc is simply NOT comparable to xbox 360 or PS3, thats crap. if you want to match it, or better it, its gonna cost way more than the consoles, and thats how it has always been. It isnt neccessarily a bad thing, having to upgrade your pc, but to me its a pointless argument claiming the xbox 360 is crap graphics, thats just wrong. And besides, its pretty much a custom PC as it is anyway! and a £29.99 graphics card simply is not powerful enough to match a 360, thats wrong, and i know because i have one in my PC and it cant even managed decent shading, yes it has hdmi, but so does my xbox!

Hmmm. You want to kick back for a few months with a games system.

Personally, I'd say PS3. The blu ray player onboard is still one of the best and still one of the few upgradable players.

Game choice I have to say that from my limited exposure, Xbox has the titles.

I am an infrequent gamer due to a chronic motion sickness issue - I get nauseous watching Spyro or Tomb Raider when others are playing it!

Plus I think the apex of playability was Bushido Blade... Just wish someone would give that a graphical upgrade for PS3 while retaining the play style.

I'm on 360 gamer tag "illy sv650". The reason I'm on 360 is my PC was old, if I was to upgrade it it would have cost a lot of money, It wasn't a matter of buying a PC but future proofing it. If you upgrade say £500 18 month-2years later you need to upgrade again, so I would have been around £1,200, or get an xbox for £200 who's technology which would last 7-8 years Doh no contest. You may say PC graphics are better and yes they may be, but for how long? 30 seconds 2 minutes because once I'm into my game and wasting everything in site Its the last thing I'm thinking of. Roll on Battlefield 3.

Well I've said yes to makeitfit

So a 360 it is

Ignore the internet side of things, which is the smoother / less glitchy

between what??

they are all glitchy to some degree, I find the 360 not too bad these days, they have ironed out a lot of issues lately, and with this new dashboard things are much smoother and theresa lot more to do on it.

Adz · 14-03-2011, 20:51

Think I've made the right decision

clivvy · 14-03-2011, 21:12

ok this is where i do know what i am talking about used to work for sony fixing the ps3 (one of the reasons i hate the ps3)

right the ps3 is a geforce 7900GT clocked to 550MHz
the xbox is a different kettle of fish tho but the card is made by ati and is is some where arround the ball park of about HD2900 series, but probably closer to the X1900.

both consoles are only capable of producing 720p but it is upscaled to 1080p,

both systems are built to cost and considering they are built to play games they dont half overheat and cause them selves problems with boards warping

both the gfx cards are behind the hd4650 as that is a dx11 as opposed to the dx9 consoles

both systems are so far behind that most developers are being held back

now in regards to the developers making games just for consoles

take a look at the most recent releases and other than the crap like the xbox and ps3 exclusives such as gears of war or that crap that took sony 5 years to make and it was still crap gran tourismo 5 have you not notices that the exclusives arent even original titles

did you know that all games are created on a pc

the only games that are ported to the pc are the ones that are just generic crap like modern warfare and call of duty

take games from bioware they were released to console as a port from the pc, same with battlefield, and the problem is it shows

their is a reason y companies release on the console and then on the pc, take fable 3 it got released on the xbox in october but it is still in the workshop today for the pc release, the reason behind this is the fact that microsoft wanted the console money first and then release the pc and get the pc money

it has shown that the pc is in a very good standing last year with the release of sale records from places like steam

any pc with a separate gfx card released since 2008 has a higher spec than an xbox and ps3 the ones with onboard gfx cards are not suitable.

i can tell you now that the hd4650 is a better gpu than any console has and that is the low end of the market (high-street cost is closer to £100)

overal the core2duo run's rings around both processors at most things apart from one or 2

For movie decoding, for example, I think everyone knows the Cell can outrun pretty much anything. For heavily multithreaded (and floating-point intensive) code, the 360's CPU will also become quite powerful, and leave the Core 2 in the dust.

but at everything else the core2 win's hands down and that is including games

new console for the xbox is what about £150 all in so for that sort of cash you can have a very good system with a half decent size hdd, remove the tv/monitor out of the equation as you would need that for the consoles anyway and as they will use the same unit dont figure in the argument

all those that have a tv attached to the pc see what the max screen res is your pc can put out and see if the tv can handle it
