PC vs Xbox 360 / PS3

[DarylVTR]

premium or elite?

[Graemep]

just get a ps3 daryl

have you not noticed alot of people of here seem to be changing to the ps3 from xbox

[Robb]

daryl buy my 360. I live closer.

[Davekelz]

I have both and prefer the 360, don't know why just seem to play it alot more.

I used to play pc an awful lot bud, but have been converted to a console'ererer. Lot more fun with the lads, night in with beers and FIFA lounge on the go, can't beat it.

xbox has more games atm but im waiting for a ps3, as it will become the better console now the games are starting to flow in, get the ps3 as its a better investment imo..

[Brooksy]

If your seriously wanting a console i'd suggest PS3. what does the xbox do more bar have slightly more games....?
if you sell and purchase a 360 your losing/wasting your money.
I don't own either. but my m8s(i.e luke, dane and my other m8s) are 50/50. but we never use the xbos 360 no more. it has load smore games surround sound system buitlt in and everything. but never gets used. ps3 is put on everytime. no yearly fees either. and bluray for future.
yes intime im sure microsoft will say buy this part and u cna play bluray but you'l be buying so many different external parts for the xbox it'l be a pc and you'l why didnt i buy a pc in the end. nehow!
TBH! you'd be appier stayign where you are. if you got problems with compatibility. somethign isn't running right.. maybe you've just upgraded too much or overclocked soemthign that your 1 of ur hardware doens't like at that speed. i never overclock. i rarely see a difference. my opinion. but people like to see stats for that extra 0.2+ like comparing penis sizes.
Stick with PC or atleast mate try and buy an already set system. u have a top notch card and ur machine struggles. yet my pc is low budget and my HD card is running COD4 very nicely. even better on my 26" screen. might take pics later! just love it! online is a bonus! but other games ftw!

Well i seem to have sorted out crysis, it runs ok if i exit rivatuner and put my graphic card back to stock! hl2 was always fine at 200fps maxed out, as is bioshock, now i just need to fiddle with COD4! It used to crash to desktop randomly, but when it does run it runs maxed out at around 120fps so very smooth. I just get bored of the 'Demo' mission everytime i get to it so stop playing it lol.

Been reading reviews on the PS3 / Xbox 360 and they still think PC is better for overall graphics, im an occasional gamer i guess just get the good titles and classics. Don't play multiplayer or online so maybe tweeking my pc is the way forward. I think i may regret selling my new Zotac 8800GTS G92 512mb as it cost me £220 last month from novatech!

Im currently running Windows XP 64Bit, but im not sure which is the best for gaming.

If you mention how much you payed for that GFX card again, I'll slap it round your chops!

Sounds like its a software issue, not hardware anyway. and 64bit XP, are you having a laugh? Get 32bit format and only install things you deffo need. Can pretty much garentee it will be fine from then on.

Pfft call yourself an IT Techy.

[Brooksy]

yes and no with 64 bit!
64bit i nicer but more hungry! 64bit is better than vista atm by far.

Doubt very much its software fault. maybe control settings software for overclocking.. i use to build pc's and upgraded so much just wouldn't work right crshes blue screens random stuff. took it to pros they said number things. but couldn't fix it. hit n miss. nehow! well seems like ur bk on toes again!
PC won't be beaten for is quality and usage. not for a very long time. not biased but its true.
should get cod4 online il give u a few games on it!

There's nothing wrong with the PS3's online capabilities, i wish people would stop banging on about how good the Xbox is online..

What can it do online the PS3 cant do?

You cant browse the net on the Xbox and you have to take it back every month cos it breaks down..

Me and a few other Sax-P members had a good mash up on CoD4 the other night on our PS3's..Nothing wrong with them online at all and before people start going on about acheivements etc, Sony are releasing Home, which is supposed to blow Xbox live into the weeds..

The PS3 can do loads of things the Xbox cant and the things it can do are alot better than the Xbox, for example the visualizations on the Xbox when listening to CD's are feeble, old school Windows media player ones..LOL

The PS3 is a more powerful machine, its just a fact..

Xbox owners face it..Your console is getting old, newer better technologies are on the Horizon and they are from Sony..

This is just my opinion, i have played both, my bro has an Xbox and from what i have seen the PS3 is better, hence the reason i bought one..

[DarylVTR]

Did i mention it cost me £220? LOL

If you mention my IT skills again i shall slap you harder! lol You cant expect a IT Techy to know EVERYTHING about EVERY problem.....I don't live and breath computers lol..... sorry. Infact i don't really wish to persue it as a career in the future, its boring and crap money!

ANYWAY i played crysis last night for awhile, seems to run OK on medium settings.

BTW i was on Windows XP 32bit but it was the same, hense why i changed to 64Bit to see if it cured the problem. Pahhh call yourself an IT Technician?

[rushy_23]

LOL! I Xbox and PS3 dont even come close to a PC. Only issue with PC is the
hardware costs to run top spec games. But for overall package PC will always
piss over consoles!

Come on people!!!!!

[Mugello]

you have to get a 360 elite or a ps3
