It's time to prove gaming PC's are affordable...

[Captain_Tom]

No doubt a $600+ graphics card can last you a gen (even though graphics will degrade as the years go by while console graphics get better over the same span of time).

 

The card we are talking about was $200 at purchase in 2006 and plays games better than the PS3.  The total cost of the PC after OS was ~$600.  So the same price as the PS3 at launch.   

 

This is getting painful to watch.  I just can't understand why some of you HAVE to believe that PC's are overpriced.  Why?    Because you don't have one? I like the PS3 far more than the 360, but I wouldn't necessarily call the 360 overpriced.
