So, you should count the price of a 40"1080p HDTV on the price of the PS3? "Or, for $900, I could get an X360 and a PS3. You see my problem with PC gaming." Because Xbox 360 and PS3 can display the kind of graphics like that rig, right? And obviously they're better at encoding video, editing music, photoshop, word processors, spreadsheets... "Oh man! $900.oo to play a game, this takes me back to the early 90's and the original Neo-Geo." That PC will only be compatible with Crysis obviously. Sorry if I was too ranty hehe. |
Seriously, thats the thing that's always annoy me about people complaining about PC gaming. That PC is not going to be solely used for videogames, it does so much more. Heck, you can even get it to emulate old games (not necessarily legally of course).
Pretty much every single modern household nowadays will have a computer already, so you can't count the entire cost of a gaming PC whereas for the 360/PS3/Wii, the vast majority of it is gaming (and maybe movie playing somewhat).
