igarek77 Posted September 17, 2007 CID Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hi Guys, Have a decision to make, so I thought I'd just throw it out here and see what you all suggest! My wife said that she wants to give me a Christmas present and she gave me a choice..lol So it's either I get a PS3 or a new PC which I will build myself. I currently have a P4 HT Machine but would love to get the latest Dual Core proc. So what are your suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igarek77 Posted September 17, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 17, 2007 Well I mostly work on the computer + game so it's like a 60/40 ratio. A friend of mine has a PS3 and we play it sometimes. So I don't know if I'd play it as much if I had my own. Maybe I have a want vs need thing going on...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH2688 Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 I am very happy with my PS3. Current;y i only have Resistance and nascar 08. There both really sweet games. expectally using the sixaxis controller when playing nascar. I can't wait to get heavenly sword, and for NFS and "ratchet and clank" to come out for it. I would have to recamend the PS3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blunted 2 Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 well you can always get a ps3 then put yellow dog linux on it then you have both heres a vid of it and i have the same setup (and A pc) :smitten: http://youtube.com/watch?v=eC5BEof-jd8 Thats pretty cool but i wonder if you can mess up the PS 3 by doing that.

resopalrabotnick Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 i have only had a couple minutes on the 360 the ps3 and the Wii. i have to say i am not a fan of the usual console games (except maybe action racing or nhl hockey) and the graphics on the 360 and ps3 are as good as they are to be expected for the price. but the fun factor of the Wii control concept cinched it for me. if i was to buy one of the three it would be the Wii.

kol Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 Thats pretty cool but i wonder if you can mess up the PS 3 by doing that. i had no problems when i did mine the only thing is i wish i could just get vlc media player to actually install.

Guest PeePs Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'm a computer man myself. If you can actually build a computer with a good graphics card and stuff I would do that. Buncha sweet games are ganna be coming out. (Crysis, Team Fortress 2, HL 2: episode 2, Kane and Lynch, Far Cry 2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I currently have a P4 HT Machine but would love to get the latest Dual Core proc. So what are your suggestions? I LOVE my PS3 especially now with Heavenly Sword out. There are some great games coming up soon too. I mean great, and its a blu ray player. Thats super sick if you have a high def tv. That being said I would say ask yourself this. If you got a PS3 AND a new PC which would you spend the most time on. Thats a good way to answer it for yourself. Of course you already have a good pc and the PS3 should drop to 399 before Christmas so maybe you would get some kick ass peripherals and games. You probably should have said "gaming machine" instead of PS3, everyone is a lil biased and you will get biased answers. Mine is obviously a lil biased towards ps3.

dlewis23 Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 when i had my PS3 i loved it, motor storm was fucken awesome. then it fucked up my HDMI port of my tv so i returned it. PC's are good too there are some really good games coming out for it, as well for the PS3. Its really up to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 NEW PC!!!! Actually I am basically biased against PS3. I am in love with PC's and anything to do with them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 if you want easy gaming that just works go with the PS3, if you want to do more then gaming go with the PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siryak Posted September 18, 2007 CID Share Posted September 18, 2007 If you get a console personally I would go with the 360. If you do though DO NOT get one until the chipset redesign comes out. The ones out there right now are prone to fail, but the new chipset should fix the problem. What I would recommend is go and look at the games available for the PC, 360, PS3, Wii etc. and see which one has the games that you like. Because in the end that is all that really matters. Be aware that if you do get a PC and you want to game on it expect to spend a fairly large chunk of change. The video cards on these off the shelf PCs are not going to cut it unless it is specifically a gaming PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
