Why Care? A single GPU costs almost as much as a PS3. And you still need a full computer around that, so at least the price of ANOTHER PS3, probably the cost of two PS3s if you build a solid machine around it. So I guess for hte cost of 3 Ps3's I could get 4 times the Ps3....

Actually, you can get a GPU which supports folding@home for $100. You can get a GPU which runs Crysis on high settings for a little bit more than that (less than $200 for sure).

Why did you build a post around BS numbers you pulled out of your ass?

 

 

Im sorry, I got a GeForce 8800 GT which is by far not a top of the line card and it was slightly over 200 dollars. I seriously doubt that cards less then 8800, like 8600s or lower are going to be doing much over the PS3 in folding operations, which I guess I could be wrong about, I seriously dont care about this enough to check.

However, he also brings up the new cards (4850/70), being what? 400 dollars minimum?

Either which way, I dont care. Really, only fanboys would care if PC's are able to out perform a console. Seriously, its been that way since the beginning. Who cares? Apparently you.



I own all three current consoles and a great gaming rig, now thats out of the way.

"Why post something like this when all it will get is PS3 owners blinded to reality replying? BOTH THE PS3 AND BLUE-RAY WILL NOT LAST 3 YEARS! TECHNOLOGY CHANGED TOO FAST!"

"is it Wii FIt that has sold as many as PS3's sold? Thats a LOL Look at the total sales of software is it just me that sees Nintendo titles hitting 10m+ and you say they arent making a difference? Another LOL!"

"Hell, with all the negative hype Sony spin, people just aren't interested cost is too high and to get the true HD experience (1080p, 7.1 surround) you will need a $1000+ system. THAT IS GOING TO DO IT IN A RECESSION! PS4 will not happen"
