Here's a better analogy... PC vs. Console is like Fosters vs. Kingpi$$er, both sets of fans enjoy their drink but keep arguing about which is better. Just enjoy your drinks dammit!!

Why why why???? Why start this up?
From a POV of money, consoles are cheaper in the long run.

ps3 n 360 does 720p i.e 1280x720 right?

a 8600Gt wid any dual core n 2gb of ram will cost u 20k :clap: ..enough to play games wid high in game settings @ 720p wid 30fps
ofcourse will need to have a upgrade budget of 10k every yr to upgrade to d next gen midrange card to continue playing @ 720p :cool2:

So over 5yrs (life span of a console) pc will cost u abt 30k more dan a console. :hap2:

Ny ways no matter if ppl own a console or not they always own a PC n will upgrade it every 5yr atleast. So if comes out to b d same u c.

Ofcorse if u r buying original games ..den there is no doubt dat pc gaming is cheaper.:ohyeah:

d only down side is dat PC has less no of xclusive titles as compared to d consoles.
 
all u need is any hdd + external casing :S (500 gigs for 140$ is not exactly expensive)
i have my entire music+video collection connected to my 360..

ermm...why can't we?

@arnold, both those consoles do 1080p
100GB space enough for who? How many HD movies (non pr0n, joke's over) can you store? Consoles have their advantages, but this clearly isn't one of it so don't push it ;)
 
^^ my english must be really bad, considering you happen to take a different meaning out of 2 of my posts here...i wasnt pointing out the advantages of consoles in my previous post. Just mentioned that u can connect big storage HDDs via USB...and HDD space is cheap.
 
saw a photo slideshow on a PS3 .. was blown away.. now i see the point sony was trying to sell, about the whole integrated MCE /gaming centre..

...which costs money, right? ;) And you can cut the dry sarcasm, doesn't usually work with me.

works for me as long as you realise that its sarcasm ;)
HDDs cost money obviously, external ones do cost more (30-40$)
My only point: It can be done...

well.. coz u dont have easily upgradable hardisk space.. too much of a hassle to get more space on the consoles...

so i do get vindicated.. dont i :) :)

more money = more hassle

simple equation

You said it, and it proves that consoles are not complete and never will be... that was the point the PC enthusiasts in this thread have been trying to make. While I don't even bother about what consoles can do, silly posts saying consoles > PC's are exactly that... silly! ;)

Once again, as with everything else, that would be your POV and not necessarily everybody else's.

as for my POV, going the console way has been cheaper.

I had set aside 2 grand for a PC, solely for gaming purposes.
But then I thought, since its going to be games, why not buy something thats dedicated to games and that wouldnt get me worried about upgrades and other "hassles" and that would have new games coming out for it for a few years.

So i went for the 360 and a fullHD display all within 1k usd.

As for games being expensive...most gaming stores here have buyback policies..so u can return a game after you are done with it and get a percentage of your money back and then go ahead to buy the next game.

And then i now have the added advantage of a HD media centre (with my HDD connected + wireless streams from my roommates computers).
So, in my POV, the console has given the more VFM.

@Rio, nothing of that sorts, no offense meant to you or anyone else, but i do find you misinterpreting my posts :P
and I never intended to say consoles > PC.

p.s: I have embarassingly small feet.

consoles can run HD video @ 1080p.

but neither d PS3 nor d 360 can render games at 1080p.:bleh:

there r only a few titles on d ps3 like ridge racer n sonic dat run @ 1080p :cool2:
