I see you decided to skip on Windows altogether, as well as a mouse and keyboard.

And you're still above the $399 that the PS3 costs. Tsk.

Now, build me a complete PC for $399 that includes the same hardware or better than the $399 PS3 and I'll be impressed.
More so when you beat the $199 Xbox 360.

Remember that Windows will need to be included in that price and that no, not everyone is a student. And no, HD movie downloads is not the same as having a Blu-ray drive.

Soleron, does a PS3 include a keyboard, a mouse, speakers, a monitor? If you're planning on telling him to include the prices of those, then we have to include the prices of controllers, USB keyboards, HDTVs, and stereo systems in the PS3 price. And the cost of getting a mouse + keyboard is null anyhow, since pretty much everybody has ones from their old PC they can swap over.

Geldorn, Windows is not the only operating system that can play videogames. There is a wonderfully free OS called Linux that has programs available for it (again, free) that will make Windows games compatible. And you're right - HD movie downloading isn't the same as having a blu-ray drive. Personally, I think it's better.

 

 

also: a blu-ray drive TigerDirect.com is $115.

 

Right, so when it doesn't suit you to add costs to your comparisom you won't. Even when that means your PC will lag in capabilities compared to the consoles. Gotcha.

 

Besides, I see you've totally and utterly failed to get me a Blu-Ray equipped PC at or under $399 that performs, gaming wise, at or over the PS3.

Colour me unimpressed.
