PC for the price it costs to buy a PS3 80 gig right now, AND it be more capable, and have more uses.


Not more capable with regard to watching Blu-Ray movies and nor per se with regard to gaming.

Most people prefer to play games and watch movies on TV sets, for this the PS3 is far more suitable. You can easily connect many Sixaxis controllers for multi-player fun, you don't have to worry about viruses, trojans and all that stuff.

I have been a PC assembler in my student years as well, most consumers were and still are misinformed and uneducated with regard to PCs. The most common basic knowledge basically comes down to, more Mhz means faster (which doesn't per se need to be the case) and more memory is better (especially for using Windows and software).

PC's are mostly used for internet surfing, reading emails, writing documents and such. For this you don't need the latest and "greatest" OS, nor do you really need an impressive PC setup.

Besides watching a Blu Ray movie, and multiplayer in-house, what other capablities does it have over the PC, that the PC cant do better? You do realize more and more people are connecting their PCs to their TVs, sense many High Def TVs have HDMI or DVI imports on them now.


You'll have to understand the PS3 is an entertainment device, watching movies and playing games is the core focuss here. For this the PS3 is relatively hassle free, suits the living room / media cabinet well and can do an amazing job at these core features.

Many people I know rather use a more mobile laptop for the stuff they use a PC for, for watching movies or playing games inside your home it's not an interesting solution.
