Please stop posting these threads. They're nothing but a handful of PC elitists circlejerking about their SUPERIOR FORM OF GAMING and using more fuzzy math than Al Gore.

For example: The people acting like 1200p is somehow magically light-years better than 1080p. Hint: It's not. In fact, you'd probably have a hard time telling them apart if you saw them side-by-side.

That resolution is about 3,000,000 pixels better than a typical PS3 game. About 4x the pixels, nothing major really. More if you compare games such as COD IV and GTA IV.

@ Billy D

If the Xbox 360 library is better than a PS3s library overall and the PC library includes a majority of the great Xbox 360 games then the PC library is outstandingly better than the PS3 library.

PC gaming does have advantages if you have specific desires - if you're anal about visual quality obviously you'd skip the PS3/Xbox 360, If you're anal about 60fps skip the consoles, If you want mods/user content skip the consoles, if you want to play genres that aren't available on consoles I guess you're skipping as well.

 

Um what?  1920x1200 is not 4 times more pixels than 1280x720, which is the resolution I am assuming you are using for the typical PS3 game.  It's about 2.4 times more pixels.  Perhaps you were thinking of 1600p which is 2560x1600 which is about 4 megapixels.  Of course, a 30" 2560x1600 display costs about $1300.
