This aint worth arguing. The 500$ PC reigns supreme, and is better than a PS3, becuase the PS3 sucks.

And I said Crysis like games.


Which current PS3 game is "Crysis like" that you have played?


Well, I never said released either. Will your 500$ computer run any new games in 5 years? 8 years?


So clue me in on this: How is it that you can somehow play games that haven't been released yet?

Your own words: "My PS3 can play Crysis style games. Can your 500$ computer play them?" How do you know this if you haven't experienced it yourself, as you yourself claim that these games haven't been released yet.

And about new games... you are right that my already 2-year-old PC won't be able to handle games coming out in the next few years.

But you also do realize that in 5-8 years time the PC will have games that far surpass anything the PS3 could muster - that the PC will be able to handle games far far more complex than the PS3 could even begin to dream of? And guess what? The entry point will still be around 500-700 bucks?


I bet you money, your computer cant run oblivion like my 1 year old computer. (as the graphics card in my computer cost nearly as much as your computer) Yet, I dont feel my computer will be able to surpass Heavenly Sword graphics. I know how to build a computer for your buck. And I know that if you pay less than 800$ your aim is too low, and you are saving money, but not getting as munch bang per buck either. Usually a 200-300$ processor is best, for 2gb of memory, your looking at, at least 150$, and even today, the graphics card that I have, is still the one that I reccomend, costs 300$. Add those 3 things together, your looking at almost 800$. That dosent even include a motherboard. Those are 3 parts. (the most expensive yes, but your still looking at ~1000$ to build a good computer today.


Yeah, so? How about you answer my Crysis conundrum first?

Whether your rig can run Oblivion better than mine is not relevant in this case: what's relevant in this case is that regardless of who can run a better Oblivion, Crysis, whatever, in your vaunted 5-8 year lifespan PCs will obliterate any advantage that the PS3 purportedly has at the moment. The PS3's longevity will be 10 years only because that's how long Sony plans to market it - not because in 10 years' time it will still magicall retain relevance to the advancements made on the PC front.

And I disagree with your assessment of a minimum of 1000$ to build a good PC - I recently built a Core2Duo 6400 with 2GB RAM, a Radeon 1950 and an Asus Deluxe MB - all for 700850$ (EDIT: Forgot to convert from HKD to USD) (here in Hong Kong we get really good prices - oh, and that includes a CoolerMaster case). The computer so far has been able to handle everything I've thrown at it, including the uber-demanding S.T.A.L.K.E.R. That's my reserve gaming rig, however, the one I let buddies use when they come over to play.
