I see you decided to skip on Windows altogether, as well as a mouse and keyboard.

And you're still above the $399 that the PS3 costs. Tsk.

Now, build me a complete PC for $399 that includes the same hardware or better than the $399 PS3 and I'll be impressed.
More so when you beat the $199 Xbox 360.

Remember that Windows will need to be included in that price and that no, not everyone is a student. And no, HD movie downloads is not the same as having a Blu-ray drive.

Yes thats a cool feature. Especially when you watch the movies you have downloaded on the PC with your PS3 (by streaming or external HD). Directly from the couch on your 32" LCD TV with perfect remote support, upscaling and noise reduction, HDMI, etc. pp.

Yes you can do all these things with your PC but its a huge pain in the ass (TM). (For example even with direct VGA cable connection I was never able to get rid of a white line at the bottom of the screen) If you want to do it right you need the expensive Windows Media Center Edition or Myth TV.

Oh and some of us have problems downloading HD movies of 15Gb++. Discs have still some advantages.

What Op Sys are you using ?

Shouldn't its cost be represented.

That figure doesn't include:

- Operating System

- Monitor

- Mouse

- Keyboard

- Speakers

- Wireless Chip

On the upside, if his monitor supports up to 1920x1200 that would be equivalent to a 1200p HD not some poor 1080 like your crappy 32'. His game will look better, sharper and more realistic.

 

Also to be fair, if you are comparing the PC screen and display against your TV's then you are gonna need to add the cost of your 32' to your console. I find TV's way overpriced with less functionality than a PC monitor.

How does MGS4 run on your new PC? Uncharted? Zelda? Mario?

How does your Wii/PS360 even run Starcraft? UT2004? CS? Warcraft3/WoW? Crysis?

Lol at old games.

Still rocking out on Starcraft? WoW? I guess that's where the need to buy a $500 grafix card comes in huh? Playing 10 year old games.

Or do you need the card to play year old 360 ports?

It doesn't matter how powerful your PC is because developers don't make games designed to take advatage of that power except meh whatever Crysis.

^ That's the point, you can't even run those on your cell can you? And most of them minus crysis are better than anything you listed.

No.

Now... You're going to want to stop listing games that go back as far as 2000. If you want me to list console games that go back that far you may shed a tear.
