Your Xbox 360 is capable of better graphics. ;)

Check out the latest Alienware PC.

Processor: OverClocked Intel Core i7-975 Exreme 3.86ghz 8MB Cache. (Is a Quadcore so 3.86ghz x4, your processor is a single core)

GPU: 1,792 MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 x2 (basicly 4 awesome GPU's)

Ram: 24GB DDR3 SDRAM at 1333MHz - 6 X 4096MB

Hardrive: 2TB (2x 1TB) SATA 3Gb/s 7,200RPM 2x32MB Cache

Blu-Ray etc etc...

Of course to afford this though you would need to sell a few limbs or a child to Madonna.

And to think that'll be bargain bin in 10 years o.o

Heh make that 4 years...

4 years ago I would have been looking at TC's very own computer on the website going .

I would be willing to purchase a top of the range PC one day but PC technology evolves to fast for my liking. 6 months later your PC is outdated and that beast I listed was $7,500 and that was without all the extra's such as a monitor, gaming mouse and keyboard and a decent sound system etc. Sure you will probably get your moneys worth out of it eventually but I hate the thought of spending that much and having it not be the best on the market within a couple of months...

It would be able to hold its own for a couple of years. Untill Crysis 3 comes out Then your back to square one struggling to run the fucking thing at a decent frame rate.

I like the simplicity of consoles. You pay a reasonable sum for a kick ass hardware at the time of its launch and you never have to worry about anything again untill the next generation of consoles arrive within 4-8 years. You also get waves and waves of games to choose from and alot of them have decent graphics. Look at Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, Alan Wake, Gears of War 2 and Forza Motorsport 3 etc. Their graphics are brilliant..

The Crysis console Tec demo also looked very good!  I can't wait to see what Crysis 2 is like running on consoles.

I know they could look better on a top of the range PC but look how much you would need to spend for that not very substantial increase in graphics, in comparison to the $200 Xbox 360 for example. If all PC's were the same the developers of games could heavily optimise and create some amazing things. Crysis for example could probably run on medium-high if it was designed soley for TC's computer and had full optimisation. Unfortunatley nearly every PC is different so developers have to go with raw hardware power instead of squeezing potential like what they do with consoles. Fallout 3 isn't even compatible with Vista 32bit ffs.
