PC v. Console

[TAZ {CANADA}]

You can do all of that except the last one with a PS3. I can explain if you are interested/ignorant.

We have the PS3 and I am interested/ignorant in knowing how.

Since I stupidly checked them all off not knowing any better

Thanks,

But where's have it crash for a game that was designed for it. That's something that consoles rarely do, but my pc does it all the time (I have 2 games I never got to play, one was a birthday present).

But yeah, PC's still do rock.


Oh, and you also forgot join Edge Gamers. You can't do that with a console!

Yup, Idk about Upgrading, never tried, but Yeah, I had Linux on my PS3, and then used it to run Windows XP pro, hooked up a keyboard and mouse and played some DoD. Then my house got broken into and it was stolen.. and I haven't figured it was worth it to do it with my knew one. but Yeah it was super sexeh.



P.S I just realized you can upgrade the Hard drive on your PS3 so wham!

P.P.S oh yeah and I couldn't convince my Mom to buy me a PS3 for school and one for home, so.. the second one doesn't work either.

this poll is horridle stacked

 

[Zegz]

everything but upgrade it. Guys....you can upgrade a console. One of my friends really rigged his pretty nicely. Yes you notice mroe of a change with a pc upgrade but you can still upgrade a console.

All of the above, at least for my consoles and games (technically I suppose I could write a paper on my DS with a flash card, but not practical enough)

You can't buy consoles at iBUYPOWER so PC is the best for gaming. You can also use the PC for EVERYTHING!

Consoles suck, PC's rule theres no contest

 

[Crawlerz]

indeed consoles cannot touch PCs - I will remain a PC guy probably forever

I saw that someone said something about GTA. Every GTA is better on the PC, except for GTA4. For some reason, GTA4 was ported poorly by the rejects at Rockstar. So, Console wins the battle when talking about GTA4. On the other hand, you can just fix that by buying Saints Row 2. It's way more fun than trying to get GTA4 to work at all.

Let's pick on the 360, something I enjoy doing. Let's say your Xbox 360 gives you the RRoD, what do you do? Send it in to Microcrap. On the other side, say your computer gives you the BSoD, let's say it's your OS. Windows XP has crashed and will not boot. What do you do? Wait 6 months for someone else to fix it? Heck No! Get your OS Disc and format it, and bang, you're back in business.

PC beats Console hands down, except with GTA4, but that's not our problem, it's Rockstars.

PC is better overall. :/
Except for GTA4, from what I've heard, but I'm not a GTA fan anyways.
Anything good that comes out on consoles eventually sees a PC release (except for console-specific games, but eh)
That being said, can't wait for Halo 3 PC.

Still have an original xbox from 2001. I took to modding it two years ago after the warranty expired. Those of you who say consoles aren't upgradeable, think again. I loaded the puppy up with an 80GB hard drive (small today, but old xbox's only take up to 127GB). Not trying to condone anything illegal here, but XBMC is the best replacement for Microsoft's XBOX OS. Haven't done much to it other than that though.

Write a term paper on it
Buy it at iBUYPOWER

 

[RedFlag]

Yes, yes, a top of the line PC in 1999 when the xbox was designed.

Are you sure they have the graphic capabilties of even a semi-modern graphics card?

My laptop gets over 100 fps on games from five years ago.....

Well for one, I meant the Xbox 360, not the old one. Secondly after a certain point, high amounts of FPS become unnecessary, my point of bringing up the constant 60 was that it stays constant, it doesn't dip during massive firefights or explosions.

You gotta love a PC

% problem

lol, hope no math or statistics majors look at the total of the percentages, 6 choices but each has at least 50% ? how is that possible.

 

[Arn0t]

its a multiple choice question ^^ thats how you can have that many.

i guess going with the questions i would say, PC wins.

But if your also someone like me who cant upgrade their computer as much as others, and you are stuck with a P4 and AGP graphics, consoles win. Just cause i cant play the newer games on my computer, but on my xbox i can

 

[Fuzion]

not to mention gta:sa rocks on the pc (gfx mod + SAMP = win) you can't mod your console games either ( no insurgency for the consoles! ) PC is better hands down
