PC gaming IS dead. All the best games get released on consoles, you don't need to install games, I can get a work PC + a gaming console for 4x less than what a gaming PC would cost, consoles allow 4 people to easily hook up and play offline, the online on 360 is standardised, the list GOES ON AND ON.

You can buy the best PC in the world, but it'll get VIRUSED UP (!!) and then will run ridiculously slow. With a console you'll get the best graphical and speed performance, every time.

 Dumbest Post of the Day nomination.

The pc has barely any good games..

Seriously, crysis has terrible framerate. UT3 is good but its on the ps3.

Online on 360 is standardized? What the heck does that mean? Are you saying that all 360s have internet? Or that all 360s have the same internet speed? Because that's not true...

Online play on 360 is great...but it's years behind PC online play. Not trying to put it down...it's really just a fact. Anybody with a decent connection can voice chat with friends very easily at any time on the PC...while playing a game or not...you can immediately join other people's servers...it's all very streamlined.

And yeah, PC games are cheap. Very cheap. They start at $40 or $50, but after 2 months, they can be down to $30, sometimes even $20.

Console games hardly ever go down in price...it takes at least a half year before they knock off $20.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

 1) You have not played Crysis, you don't know that the framerate problems will stay...if there really are any in the final game.

2) UT3 is good, and it will be a lesser version on the PS3 and 360...less maps, no mods, inability to play certain maps due to lack of RAM.

3) There are a ton of good games...I have no clue what you're talking about.  Have you heard of Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Ep 2, Portal, Left 4 Dead, Supreme Commander, Bioshock, Spore, Huxley, LOTRO, etc?  Plenty of games, not to mention TONS of mods, plus the serious fun to be had with flash based games hehe.

Yeah I know, like 40 frames per second ... pure piece of sh*t! Just think if it was 30fps! Total disaster.

Dead? In Finland PC games sells more than console games thanks to Wow, CS and Sims. :/

 leo, even I'll say take that SixAxiS controller out of your rear and realize Crysis takes an insane amount of power to run well. It can run at a perfectly stable FPS if its running on the correct hardware.

 Uh, no.  Graphically, I don't think the PS3 version will be that much worse. 

Besides, I'm not an uber graphics whore...it's the actual game that matters...and the PS3 version won't have as many maps off the bat as the PC version, and it is incapable of mods, and even incapable of various custom PC maps...that's what it sounds like at the moment. 

Same goes for 360...though we actually can't say ANYTHING about the 360 version right now, because there is no info available for it.

Epic confirmed mods for the PS3 version ages ago. Some wont be able to easily be ported but Epic said they are willing to assist modders and even though there will be less maps Epic is going to fill the Blu-ray Disc with maps. They praised Sony including a Blu-ray drive because they wont be able to fit much on a standard DVD ie the 360 edition. Of course the PC edition is a giant install file so they can jam as many maps as they want in.
