The thing is that there is no way the PS3 will disappoint you, and by the sound of things the card actually might do just that. Also, PS3 games get marked down significantly 2-3 months after release (I just picked up Dragon Age 2 for 1/3 the original price). Plus you get a media hub so you can access your pc from your tv, bluray player etc. Kinda depends if you have a nice home theatre setup too since a big ass tv and 7.2 srs is unbeatable imo.

Of course, I am biased here since I love my PS3 so much.

If you are really into spectacular graphics then I would rather say stick with your PC. So if you get a just by seeing jaggies then its not really worth it.

Anyways, opinions are opinions...

As I don't have an HD TV the PS3 would be pluged into my 24in 1080p monitor and some cheap headphones lol. And I could pick up the superior PC verson of DA2 for less than 1/3 of the origonal PS3 version price any time I want...

Graphics aren't that important to me I spend most of my time playing games like Minecraft, Binding of Isaac and other indie games but if you can have better graphics why not? Playing games like the Witcher 2 in full 1080p is amzing and with a 560 ti I could do it at 60fps, and Batman: AC with PhysX and DX11 is sure to be god like.

And why do you think the new GPU would dissapoint me if you don't mind me asking.

I too play my ps3 games on a 24" 1080p monitor! absolutely fantastic :D

i say get a ps3 bundle system with uncharted 3 or get a infamous 2 ps3 system bundle thats out now. that way u get a good game with your system, and give your current graphics card to your little brother.

you and your bros can survive 6 months of not having 2012 level graphics but only 2011.... in the mean time you'll have great discounts :p

and yeah, if money is an issue... go 360...

Actually I am only on 2009 graphics (my bros are on 2007) and I would be upgrading to 2011 graphics and the trouble with my bros card is more the fact that it crashes the computer when playing most games so it would be hard for them to survive .

And WTF would I play on 360 other than Halo? (I refuse to play a PC game like Alan Wake on console) plus I would be supporting MS's abandonment of PC gaming.

P.S. I see someone has suggested that i abandon gaming alltogether ; )

Maybe your brother has driver problems? Are you sure its the hardware?

Honestly if you are not going to have any money left after getting a PS3 then you should just get your GPU and get a PS3 sometime later. You are going to be getting a GPU anyway, and this way you can play moar games with better graphics.

Well it was having problems when the system was running XP it was then upgraded to win 7 still had problems and lately has gotten a lot worse so I don't think it's  a driver problem, it's not overclocked ether before you ask.

then you're not looking to play console exclusives, you're looking to play PS3 exclusives. Big difference.

Just get the PS3 and let your bros use your comp.

Or better, play with them on the PS3 ^^ one big happy familly.



OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

You should get a PS3! console exclusives + you can already run PC games (even if on medium/low) = best of both worlds
