What are you playing right now?

[Shaibana]

and tomorrow.... yes.. tomorrow... i shall pick up AC3 from the store, and that will be the last time ppl saw me... for a while

It won't run on XP, it makes me feel outdated since I am still using XP.
Time for upgrade soon then...

and THAT is the reason why i have a ps3.. the games always run, and u dont need to update sht or whatever

Not entirely true. I hate updates on PS3 with an intense passion.

yes, but it doesnt require a purchase of a new graphic card or anything like that

It almost never does if you know what you're doing to begin with ._.
Besides, since I started gaming on pc I haven't had to spend more than 15 bucks on a game. I consider that far better than 40-60 bucks a pop.
Not to mention you have a choice between keyboard and mouse, or a controller.

It's far more expensive sure, but it's impossible to argue that consoles are better in terms of variety and all around quality.
Both are roughly equal when you weigh the pros and cons, but if you can build your own computer it's almost ALWAYS the better decision.

im not exactly a yoda with computers, and i always had trouble with it if it comes to gaming, so my trust in that is completely gone.
i prefer to take the easy road with a ps3. its easyer and cheaper (the console itself) , yes the games are more expensive, but they are guaranteed to work!!

From the price of the PS3 games you can build yourself a new PC.

Persona 3 portable! Oh, and I'm gonna start playing FF8 again. For some reason.

It's this realisation that made me decide to leave the console market.

Games for PS3 still cost a lot.

Games for pc cost a lot too. and you are tempted to buy more of them. Or pirate. Yoho.

Depends on if you fall for temptation. For me, I only buy games 10 dollars or less, most of them are 5 bucks.
So, a typical ps3 game costs... say, let's round down, 40 bucks.
thats 4 10 dollar games, or 8 5 dollar ones.
I used to fall for temptation like mad, but not anymore. Hell, my library will probably last me for years, and I barely spent anything on it. I won't have to buy another game on PC for a LONG time. (is not the kind of guy to buy new games, console or not.)


and I already said that PC is more expensive UPFRONT, but it saves you so much money over the years if you MAKE IT right.
You can easily build a solid tower for like $400-500 (sometimes even less depending on preferences), and that can last you for YEARS if you take care of your stuff.
I will agree on one thing though, sometimes the games don't work properly. That can be an issue if you don't do your proper research. On the other hand though, most pc games give you a smurfing book of options you can tinker with, so your gaming is far more personalized for your tastes and needs compared to console games.

[Hollycat]

I don't know about you, but I hardly ever spend more than 20 on a ps3 game.

[TrollHunter]

I don't have a ps3 or 360 anymore due to my brother taking the 360 when he moved out... soooo. I do go to game stores a lot though, and unless it's an older ps3 game, the price is almost always above 40 bucks. I actually want to buy a ps3 soon. It has a lot of games I want on it. Ratchet and clank future, the resistance series, among a few others.
I'm not bashing on ps3 or 360, but trying to argue against the PC being mechanically the best console is just ridiculous.

Started Assassin's Creed 3 yesterday. Been working all damn day, so I'm guessing I won't get back to it until this weekend.
