same concept for ps3battikh wroteI guess the main differences are:
- on a PC you have to install the game 1st before being able to play it
PS3 vs PC? What's the "real" difference?
hey do you want to sell your vga?MrClass wroteUmm, I know I posted earlier regarding this matter. Obviously in my post I was going with PC, until my GTX280 began to fail. My graphic card, which costs more than a PS3, failed on me and began causing crashes. Now I have to spend another 700$ to get another graphics card. But seriously I am thinking of getting a PS3. (Awkward Situation)

lol, i found the link to this page while surfing for game and platform comparison stuff. +1 for lebgeeks, we're going to Hollywood!
btw, ever since my post here, i still haven't changed my mind, though i now have a kickass rig with graphics that slaughter the ps3, i still have much more fun playing on my ps3, cause still, graphics is only "one" part of the gaming experience.

where do you live ?Nemesis-301 wroteso you guys agree that the pc has better graphics then concoles?
1 other thing for the ps3:
pc cost 2000$ + 30 games for 30$= 2030$
ps3 cost 550$ +30 games for (60$*30) 1800$=2350$
see!!! its the same thing the diffrence will catch up over time...
I built my desktop with 500$ and it can run COD BO on max without any lag...Havent tried crysis2 yet but I'm pretty sure I can run it with no lag either.
Not to mention pc games are practically FREE since you can pirate them...OR if you play on playing any of them online they're for 40-50$ on steam which is acceptable for a good game that you will play online....So you can buy games to play online and pirate the ones for single player.
Ohh and fps gaming on consoles....is bullcrap... Mouse and keyboard is where the real deal is at
@ ac1d, "Ohh and fps gaming on consoles....is bullcrap... Mouse and keyboard is where the real deal is at"
while i cannot say anything about Mouse and keyboard for fps, "fps gaming on consoles....is bullcrap" is nothing but opinion, which i have to respect, but in defense of fps games on console, (not that it needs any), if fps was a real problem that held back console gamers then fps games wouldn't be doing so well on consoles, yet we all know how well fps games are doing on consoles; I don't see the point of arguing that "Mouse and Keyboard" is a plus for pc gaming, except for games that only work using a mouse (strategy games).

I just want to say I've been playing every fps game on PC since Outlaws and I always felt disinterested when facing the topic of playing fps on a console until I tried it on PS3.
You won't believe the accuracy you have using the controller's analog stick until you try it and it's been since the release of CoD:MW2 that I haven't touched an fps on my desktop (and I have the computer to run them all).
I can go as far as saying it would feel strange to play fps on the computer once again.
It all depends on your preference and gaming experience in the end.

If you want to buy today an amazing pc with extraordinary performance ( i7, 8 gb ram, top graphic card), you'd put minimum a 1,800$ since the graphic cards ( the best) cost 800-900$ , so ud better stick with a ps3

As a PC gamer since ever i only see a benefit for gaming on a PC over a Console specially the current generation consoles is for :
1. Playing Strategy games in which case you don't have another choice.(That's why i own a PC)
2. Playing FPS with Mouse Keyboard combo, although i would agree with Flyingwizard on current generation consoles FPS games are much better on a JoyPad and with more support for the Move Sharp Shooter its even better than the Mouse Keyboard since its more realistic
3. For emulation Purposes again on consoles only a few emulators exist, Plus on a PC you can with some configuration and/or hardware get true low resolution native emulation when connected to a 15khz CRT screen.
Other than these uses i think that current generation consoles have shadowed PC's in every way.
I have one note about the graphics being better on a PC which i agree with but at a very high cost (High End PC's), but i prefer to sacrifice some graphics over low quality PC screens vs LCD TV's and a comfortable Sofa.
In conclusion in my case i only use a PC when i want to play a RTS game and some Emulation and a couple of games that are PC only.

Hey Hamboza about that 8th SPU after some research it seems that it is disabled as a back-up if another SPU fails.

if you like to play shooter games on an analog stick just buy a 10~20$ analog stick and connect it your pc!!Flyingwizard wroteI just want to say I've been playing every fps game on PC since Outlaws and I always felt disinterested when facing the topic of playing fps on a console until I tried it on PS3.

PC is "Always" upgradable, ps3 is not.
from wiki:
Computer monitors
Some modern widescreen liquid crystal display (LCD), most widescreen cathode ray tube (CRT), and all QXGA monitors can natively display 1080p content. Widescreen WUXGA monitors for example support 1920×1200 resolution, which can display a pixel for pixel reproduction of the 1080p (1920×1080) format. The resolution is rare, but increasing in popularity amongst laptops in 2009; some laptops have a 13", 15", 17" or even a 18.4" display that run a resolution of 1920×1200 or 1920x1080. Additionally, many 23, 24, and 27-inch (690 mm) widescreen LCD monitors use 1920×1200 as their native resolution, 30 inch displays can display beyond 1080p at up to 2560x1600 (1600p). Many 27" monitors have native resolutions of 2560×1440 and hence operate at 1440p. Other 1080p-compatible LCDs have lower than 1920×1080 native resolution and cannot display 1080p pixel for pixel, relying on the display's internal scaler to produce an image resized to suit the display's actual resolution.
[edit] Video game consoles
Current generation video game consoles such as Sony's PlayStation 3 and Microsoft's Xbox 360 are able to display games and video content in 1080p. Both consoles do this through HDMI cable connections. Additionally, the Xbox 360 VGA connection, the PlayStation 3 HDMI 1.3a connection and on specific models of the Xbox 360 (manufactured after June 2007) HDMI 1.2a connection also provide 1080p output. On the PS3, developers must provide specific resolution support at the software level as there is no hardware upscaling support, whereas on the Xbox 360 games can be upscaled using a built in hardware scaler chip. Most games on both consoles however do not run at a native 1080p resolution and only a select few allow this option due to other constraints (such as graphical memory) which most developers prefer to invest in different areas.
Both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 provide 1080p video services. Sony provides both the PlayStation Store VOD service and Blu-ray Disc playback.[15][16] Microsoft provides the Zune Video Marketplace for "instant on" 1080p video content but does not have blu ray disc playback capability. Both also offer support for streaming 1080p content in various formats over home network from other computers, and also via USB connection to external storage devices.
that's good kareem, it's not bad reviving an old thread.
Well if your are running a current generation Console and a High End PC through the same LCD then sure the PC will look much better but if your comparing a Console setup with an average LCD TV then its gonna look better even with scaling than a High End PC with higher resolution on a average LCD monitor and that is due to the LCD monitor mediocre contrast, color reproduction and viewing angles.
Have you tried running Street Fighter IV on a PC setup versus a console if you did you will get the idea.

Actually developers tricked the industry into believing that consoles this generation can pull off real HD. Truth to be told, most games getting released now are considered sub-HD, or not even close to being labeled as an "HD" title.
What cracks me up even more, I remember Ken Kutaragi back during the PS3 announcement blabbering about how the PS3 can crank up 1080p games @120fps - what a load of BS.
True High-Definition experience is on PCs now - 1600p, Eyefinity and 3D. Of course, until PS4 and the next Xbox comes out, then we should see some real High-Definition console games with considerable AA.

Its fun...bcz they have an aim-helper aka auto aim..which is fun to play...but the real competitive scene is on the pc..where theres of course no autoaim ...its just mouse skills..lolHamboza wrote@ ac1d, "Ohh and fps gaming on consoles....is bullcrap...

PS3 FPS ===>12 year olds
PC FPS ===>A LOT more mature communities, a lot more competitive and certainly a more steep learning and mastering curve.

Autoaim on consoles? You ever played it on multiplayer? No autoaim on PC? I thought that the only reason people like you still play on it.

That thing you just wrote had totally no meaning...Flyingwizard wroteNo autoaim on PC? I thought that the only reason people like you still play on it.
Please rephrase instead of just throwing in a bunch of words into 1 phrase.
First of all we must respect the Old Snake of PlayStation :). But it was true that even at 240fps check this DF article:MegaCool wroteActually developers tricked the industry into believing that consoles this generation can pull off real HD.
