If you want to see the difference between console and PC graphics, you need to have a good processor and a good graphics card. The latter costs equally much as a console.

 

I don't know about anywhere else, but in Canada you can pick up a mid-line Graphics Card (Geforce 8800GT) for about $150 (as low as $100 on sale), and a pretty good processor for about $150 (once again as low as $100 on sale), which enable you to play most new games at medium quality at a decent resolution ... certainly, it is not a complete system but people overestimate how expensive it is to produce a more powerful PC than the PS3.

 

Where are you finding at 8800Gt for 100-150.  I check out BestBuy and Future Shop each week and the 8800Gt 512mb has never gone below $200.  The flyers stlll have a 7600 card listed at $130.

Edit: if you're pricing computer hardware at futureshop or bestbuy could you please pay me their prices and I'll get you the hardware ... I could really use the 25% to 50% markup over decent retailers!
