| Kyros said: Those two will come under the combined price of your PS3 + notebook deal. Eh yes but the nice thing about a Notebook is: You can take it with you  Besides PCs build for audio/video playback simply are not very good if you do not want to put quite a bit of work into it. And gaming PCs will always have the disadvantage that you have to play at the desk. This is cool for RTS but somehow I graduated to the couch. Perhaps I get mellow with old age. |
I recently got myself a 46" plasma and hooked my PC up to it. It took no more effort than connecting the DVI->HDMI cable to the back of the screen and the optical out to the back of my reciever. While I have been in computing for 20+ years, I really can't see where the hassle is these days.
And as for playing at a desk, my wireless keyboard and mouse beg to differ. I sit the keyboard on my lap and use the mouse on the couch directly. Occationally I use some pillows to prop up my arm and mouse as I find this a bit more comfortable and if all that fails, I have a 360 controller anyway when games are more suited to it.
As for the cost, well it depends on your needs, so I'm not going to argue either way (my setup costs way more than a console, but is also significantly more powerful and flexable).
