It's a laptop and I wont be spending any more to upgrade it next year to make sure it can run the software I use. Don't get me wrong I'm basically platform agnostic; I just love good games but PC gaming is a bit hollow after a while mainly because you have to keep spending to be able to play the games you like.
For me the moment I realised I couldn't be fucked with it was when I was getting beaten at CounterStrike Source by clan mates running a better rig (higher frame rate and detail and bigger screens) and for my skills to mean anything I'd have to pay out more....

PC's are better than consoles. I've had this PC since before the 360 came out and a new grafix card cost £120 now it competes quite well with the ps3 and 360.. a cheaper upgrade than either of those consoles.

I don't think either is better than the other, like I said I like good games. PC does some games better than consoles, consoles do social play better than PCs...

Just bought this today. Done the first few levels. One of the most engaging and visually stunning games I've ever played. It gives you plenty of opportunity to sneak around like a badass SAS ninja with a semi-automatic, but when all hell does break loose... fuck me. I've never seen so much shit go off at once. The lighting, the weapons, the AI, the dodgy London accents... absolutely superb. It's worth buying for the gunship level alone

Not true I'm afraid, when your memory can't keep up with the new skins or people have better monitors which show more of the playing field it's hard to compete. Not too mention new levels (custom or otherwise) that have greater detail than your graphic card is capable of handling...

The new Skins and badly designed levels in CSS put me off. I want a balanced game rather than something that has been cack handedly customised into un-usability.

in essence yes if you look at the max specs of each machine then the 360 is still merely a high end controlled component gaming pc where as the ps3 is a deicated architeture console. however. realitively speaking you have to look at the fact that even san andreas and god of war weren't pushing the max spec of the ps2 even though their are games in the dying gens of the machine... they should be and could be better, but they don't max out the stats of the hardware.Kid_Eternity said:
So you have to look at what is technically possible and then what the standard is on the consoles. Thus far the 360 which is easier to program for because it's underlying OS and architeture is the same as the pc meaning you write the pc version of the code then recomplie it for the 360 with almost no changes other the console specifics. the pc code to ps3 code however needs at present to go through the middleware to render/map it to the underlying ps3 os (just as the old ps2 did) the standard thus far is that the 360 is paign mroe for exclusives and for publishers and it costs them less to intergrate with sony's middle ware or underlying OS so this means the 360 get's a boost from pc code being usually superior to console code.
this bell curve however also has dminishing returns as the pc code needs to support the rubbish nonsense pcs as well as the super slick upto date graphics. of corse this will be reifned etc for the 360 but it's likelly that although the publsihers understanding of the ps3 will come on it'll never reach it's peak, sadly.

At what stage do Sony say "Ah, fuck. Right lads, the ps3 isn't gonna do it for us, let's shovel our resources onto developing the ps4."?

i don't think there will be a ps4 persay they have already stated this is a minimum 10 year life span on the ps3 by which time i think consoles and in general media centres/pc's etc will be a bit long in the tooth.
the idea was to make higher quality equipment based on standard architecture. With the advent of digital vs annologue then you'll see more and more features built into the sets. also you look at the hdd specs of all consoles atm they are tiny and 500 gig drives are becoming the standard for media centre pc's then you are going to see that these things are easier to build into the set in some modular fashion than to sell as seperate standalones...

i doubt sony will do that what they might do is release a free SDK next time (they may even do this for this time too)ChrisFilter said:They'd engineer it to make it dead easy to code for, duh
I think you are expecting the PS3 to be dead now because a year in it's not doing what the xbox does now, whereas a more fair comparitor would be were the first year games for the 360 any good? I mean in effect halo has taken 3 years to hit the stores and is supposed to be the pinicle of 360 gaming... so taking that viewpoint... the ps3 is matching the 360 pixel for pixel at present when the pinicle 360 games are out, imagine what it's going to do 3 years from now...
more over i think that it also assumes that xbox live can in anyway compete with home (whenever it's released next year spring they say autum i say!!) it simply won't being able to have in effect a myspace meets second life social networking asepct for the console will bring a lot of users to the ps3 also by the time home comes out then all consoles will have dropped or remain in the case of the wii to about £200 at which point the 360's earlier release will unfortunatly begin to age the console noticably... imo

Not for at least five years. They want to recoup the investment, and take a nice profit off this one, first.

this is essentaily true too the ps2 only dropped in unit price after they had recouped their money they'll only do the same once the ps3 has recouped their omeny the mor price drops in the mean time the longer this will take the less good gaming will appear for it.Johnny Canuck2 said:
