1. the pc and accessories aren't standard gives an unfair advantage to those with better rigs

2. you have to upgrade much more frequently then consoles

3. you can't play with your friends in person only online which doesn't matter if your playing a single player game but still your not going to pack up your pc and go to a friends house like you can with a console, plus i enjoy a good 2-4 player co-op game

4. to fragile but this can be said for the xbox as well cause if your hit it while the game is running say good bye the that disk. i've drop my ps3 tons of times and it didn't even skip a beat now if a pc where to fall its all over time to to replace parts

Hey look it is the CPM that likes to report people, the one who is pretty much always provably wrong. Let us begin

1. That is not a counter-point. You can spend 140 USD to have a controller with programmable turbo and maybe a few functions (that fail more often than they work) or you can buy a PC rig that will not have any framterate issues, along with bots that are about a million time ssmarter than a controller. That is not even close to comparible. Next.

2. GPUs cot as much as consoles typically, The 9800 GT has trouble with some games that the PS3 plays, and that is 3 generations newer than the PS3. While a 7870 has about the same specs, it will not be able to keep up with a PS4, as history has shown us again and again. Next.

3. NVidia shield is not-upgradable, and it is android. Next.

4. PCs ARE less portable, and ARE NOT as sturdy, are you really trying to say otherwise? I have a colecovision that works just fine. It has gone through 3 generations of KIDS and is still fine.

Also, this entire post is just another good example of why you should be ejected from REPRESENTING CONSOLE GAMERS ON A CONSOLE GAME. You are a PCmasteracist.

You are just reaching now.. you are comparing having to update your computer to console hardware revisions. New flash genius, I can play all of the latest greatest PS3 games on my 2007 PS3 without MISSING ONE THING (always wait until first price drop... always).

Also, if you went from fixing f-18 electrical systems to upgrading computers, you are an idiot.

1) I know you have been unemployed for like the majority of the time You have been a member of the Dust community, this is no secret.

2) There is no possible way that a job that requires a security clearance would pay less than f-ing geek squad.

Also, you keep comparing the cost of a 9800 GT from today, which makes me really think you are just an idiot. In order to match the performance of a PS3 in 2008 (2 years after it came out) you had to spend 75% of the cost of the ENTIRE CONSOLE on a graphics card ONLY.

LOL, even today, can you build a computer that will beat a PS3 for less than the cost of a super-slim (~$260 with a free game)? I know the fact that windows will be $100, blurray drive at least $50, and blurray playback software being another $50 only leaves you with $6-70 for case, MB, KB/m, CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, oh and thats right... you need that 1 year warranty on everything so that means brand new components.

PS3 > a GPU. a PS3 by itself will play games, watch movies, surf the internet, stream/share local media, print, you know... a great deal of stuff (not anywhere near as much as a computer, but stil a ton of stuff). A GPU will do nothing without it's surrounding components, you really can't compare just a GPU versus an entire console.

On point 3. Yeah I am going to need a source on that on right there. Also, for a handle see the gamecube.

IWS, I have question. Is it best to go with Pentium instead of AMD? I like AMD because of the price, but I can't help but look at pentium as the better choice.

You fail.... You can not actually buy a single one of those components with a 1 year warranty

Your setup will not run GTA 4, Assasin's creed 4, Tomb Raider, or just about any multi-platform release in the last 2 years.

You also did not link one single piece of equipment, so you basically just made up prices and put it next to those things.

You obviously tried to overpay for the PS3. ($269 dollars with The Last of Us).

Your setup does not include a 500 GB hard drive.

How about you stop being stupid now?

See, exactly my point, you are f-ing wrong, but now you will just try to deflect that.



After which you posted a bunch of builds that can't play any new releases for the last 2 years, then you went and starting using refurbished/used stuff with no warranty.

So you obviously read it, you knew what it meant, you can not create a computer even today that can match a PS3 at it's own price point. You have to try to cheat and lie, which is to be expected from someone who helped rip off THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE.

Yes you need blurray, hell that is a BIG feature of the PS3, that you can watch all those amazing high-def BLURRAYS on what equates to an amazing player along with games. Not only that, you can actually own your own games, meaning you can by/sell them (you know, consumer rights and the whole secondary market thing).

But whatever, just go ahead and lie/cheat/and steal, like you always do. No reason to ever admit you are wrong as hell because you are IWS, Super)MAN!!!

EDIT: yep, just move on IWS, act like you never opened your lie-hole.

Because if I wanted Dust for PC I'd care more about Legion. But I don't and it could be called a personal preference or being stubborn but I also judge the quality of the games by the company in all of their fronts: Duken Nukem's re-release was horrible and that company earns my vote to never buy a release from them. Square-Enix redeemed themselves with FF14:ARR and Tomb Raider. I think FF14's first release was far worse than Dust but they've jumped miles ahead of CCP on the communication, expectation and keeping players informed.

CCP really is on lifeline with how I support them now. I have an i7 build running SLI cards so it's a beastly gaming rig. But the point I will make is what use is buying into Legion or even Dust right now when you can't really look at CCP and believe they won't have your interest in mind? When stuff got problematic on Dust rather than run into "fix it" mode they gave us cloaks....Instead of interviewing and investigating the Gek-38 imbalance they gave us Railguns...How company approaches obstacles is a criteria all gamers like to sit down and talk about and use as a point of contention with CCP.

Their pr is horrible right now, they're barely surviving public scrutiny [because only presidents should have a sub 50% approval rating without getting fired] and they're intentionally going to abandon a large quantity of their current playerbase to move onto a concept, Legion, that's built upon a semi-broken concept, Dust.

You don't have to be a PC, console or hybrid player like me to look at this and scratch your head with a "wtf" exclamation mark on your head. Surprisingly this is by far NOT THE WORSE thing a company has done; HP saying they plan to stop making PC's was and we all know what happened to their CEO. CCP has stopped WoD and now can't even handle Dust, I'd be worried if I was them. This is far worse than when they released EvE:Incarna because working on game updates and material no one wants is a waste of resources.

There's plenty of reasons to choose one gaming platform over another, but the ridiculous reasons listed in the OP are just so insanely misinformed and asinine. It reinforces the ignorant and delusional console gamer stereotype that I thought we had gotten away from.
