Now imagine what you can what you'll be building a month from now when the Radeon HD 5000s are out, and the 4000s drop in price...

Cheap hardware from today can play games developed for hardware released 3+ years ago? NO WAY!



A warrior keeps death on the mind from the moment of their first breath to the moment of their last.



Take out the DVD drive and Windows XP and you have it sub $300! Too easy :D

Yes, but will it blend ?

Man, I know this thread is old and all, but I seriously lol'd at this!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Well said!

 

Sure you can BUILD a better gaming PC than the PS360,But how many of us know how to do that? 

Uh, probably most of us...

Its really not very difficult, especially if you buy a barebones kit, if you want to avoid the parts that may require the most patience, such as CPU and CPU heatsink/fan mounting.  



Currently playing:  PC:  Wolfenstein  PS2:  Final Fantasy X  PS3: All-Pro Football 2K8 Wii:  Force Unleashed  PSP:  God of War: CoO Xbox 360:  Gears of War 2  

Most anticipated game:  Dragon Age Origins (PC)

As (quite rightly) said in another thread- if you can follow instructions on how to build a Lego kit, you can build a PC. It really is very easy these days.
