Hey All,

Quick wake up call about the whole PC vs 360/PS3.

1. HIGH-END (Gaming-type) PCs cost avg. $2000, but custom rig at that price would get you:

CPU: AMD PHenom 9850 (x4) 2.5GHz --> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
RAM: 6GB DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz) ----> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT ------------> Can play ANY game (including Crysis)
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD -> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
TV Tuner: WinTV HD w/ Remote ----------> Add-ON
HDD: 750GB Hitachi 7200RPM S-ATA II -> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
Optical Drive: LG Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Super-Multi --> Install Crysis, play anything

How do I know this? Because this is my gaming rig and yes with some extra HDMI Cables, Sound Cables and 360 Controller, you got yourself a 360 Rig up with WAAAY better graphics in native 1080p and free updates.

So thats the upside but here's the downside; you only pay about $500CA (over $2000 for a PC) for a 360 Elite, you get the updates about a month later (to allow 360 market & PS3 market to rack up the dough first) and you have to maintenance AND update your PC (new hardware) every 2 YEARS, NOT 6 MONTHS (gaming will burn out the parts eventually w/ stock cooling, i.e. Graphics Card).

So really, it's just a matter of preference, if you want the best gameplay and have money to spare, get a PC at BEst Buy or Future Shop for $2000, or if your a casual gamer on a budget and don't mind lower graphics go for a 360 or PS3.

Arguing which is better is like over milk & juice: it's a pointless argument.

Personally, I prefer the PC, but that's just my opinion.
