2. depends on the starting specs of the computer, plus starting cost of a decent pc is a lot higher than a console. pc gaming is definitely more expensive to be into, I don't think there is any debating that.

If you have a PC not older than a few years, you can probably upgrade it to be very gaming-capable with just $80 or so for a new graphics card. Will do for a couple of years at least. Just... Don't tell me you don't have a PC at all? Good. And if your PC is older than that, well, have a guess how much it would have cost to upgrade your PC if you for some reason decided to upgrade it instead of buying a console? Yeah, probably not more at least.
Anyway, point is, PC gaming is not even nearly as expensive as people make it seem.

I already have a gaming pc, but I prefer gaming consoles. True, you could upgrade a crappy computer to get to kind of work, but you aren't going to get a superior experience by meeting the minimum requirements (you'll probably have to upgrade ram as well, if not operating system).
If you are trying to get a superior experience on the pc, it is definitely more expensive, which is what I was talking about, but good job taking one point I made out of context to try and make somekind of point that doesn't reflect on what I was talking about.

why keep bringing up a superior experience
if your comparing which is better deal a ps3 or a pc. you should consider a COMPARABLE pc. not a decked out insane resolution, frame rates ect. It should be the same resolution, same frame rates. WHICH is not hard at all to do.
and a $300 ps3? ok sure, then that is also much cheaper pc hardware. we don't need to buy anywhere near new graphics cards or other things to match what the ps3 can do. you could easily buy a $50 card that puts out the best ps3 can do now.
and i love how some peopel say pc gaming is glitchy. its like you are playing pc gaming a say 90-120 fps, then it drops to 60 for a sec and people think its glitchy. Yea i would much rather play a 30 fps game in half the resolution on my ps3.

ok, go back and read where this conversation started and then you will realize that that this post is pointless.
