Anyways the speed at which NVIDIA and ATI are releasing PC graphic card Xbox 360 and PS 3 graphics are seriously outdated.....

Check my system specs

3 gb RAM
8800GT alpha Dog edition Overclocked
Core 2 Duo E6850 3 Ghz processor

Now that seriously blows a Gaping hole into the PS3 which sports a Nvidia RSX Graphic card which is roughly equivalent to a 7800
XBOX graphic capabilities are much lower than PS3 so its a no contest

The whole comp costs only a few thousand more than a PS3 ,but can do a lot more than gaming ,movies etc unlike consoles

Verdict Computer WINZZZZ

If you are a hardcore gamer ,its a sin to play games using outdated console graphics...

If you are a casual gamer ,there are lot of old classic titles to keep you occupied for good load of time ,so upgrading is not an issue at all ...
@Eddy, Your argument that PC rocks because PC graphics is superior to PS3 or Xbox 360 is fundamentally flawed.

It is true that PC graphic card can produce much higher resolution than PS3 but all those pixels are of no use because the PC games themselves are not HD. PS3 games are true HD (1980x1080 progressive scan) and hence much better looking. PC games cannot be made true HD because:

- it will require that games must be written on to a BD disk and hardly 5% (generous estimate here) of PCs have blu-ray drive (this may change soon)
- to have compatibility with DVD drives, games must be DVD compatible and hence native garphics are low.

You probably have not played with PS3+full HD-TV combination and you are just comparing native graphics' capability. And who ever told you that Xbox 360 is inferior to PS3 in graphics. Absolutely untrue. I have played many games on true hardware at EA so I can vouch for that.

-->No i have never played in true HD+Ps3 ..........But Geforce series 8 graphic cards are all HD compatible ...just hook up your CPU to an HDTV and voila you have got your HD compatible rig.....Just add an BRD drive

Point no 2 All Ps3 games are not in BRD format ....

Most of the main titles are still released in DVD format .....Ex:GTA4...if only for the sake of backward compatibility with ps2....


-->Ps3's graphic card was Nvidia while Microsoft's xbox 360 Graphic card is ATI .....Your claim that you played a game in the xbox 360 which had higher graphic settings than Ps3 may be correct ....But i have been religiously following the developments of these consoles and i came to know of two things ...

The games currently being made for PS3 only exploit 60 % of PS3's graphic capabilities ....
Comparing PS3 s graphics chipset and Xbox360 will show you the fact that PS3's graphics chipset is more advanced...more pixel pipelines ,advanced shader models etc ....

Correct me if i am wrong

Unless you are a gaming freak PC is the best to use in both economical and in a long run. Consoles are good if you are very much in to the games.
