i am in line at toys r us right now

[Michowski]

Im not denying it can look good cuz im sure it can. But to a human eye your not going to see jaw dropping differences. Not no 600 dollars worth.

[FreeRideFrosty]

My auction is at 610.99 so far, ends next sunday at 645

Who cares man?!?!? Nice..... you camped out and got one. Wahooo!! If I had the time or ability to drive to a best buy and waste a day then I may have. We all know they are going for a lot of money. Are you looking for praise from us or something??

You are not paying for a $600 "difference". You're really having a tough time wrapping your head around this. Say you want the best in video technology..... that would be Blu-Ray. Go out and spend $1000 to get yourself a blu-ray player. OR you can spend $600, have a blu-ray player AND the best gaming machine out right now......

No, just thought I'd share in the thread about the ps3, didnt mean to piss you off guy.

Allright "guy" . I'm just saying..... we all know they are going for $1300-$1600 right now.

[Casketman]

And that is just a pre-order?

[FreeRideFrosty]

Most people payed in full when they got the pre-order. Then.... they auction it off, pick up the PS3, and ship it out. Some other people sell just the pre-order and require the person to pay the rest. (Some pay the rest after the auction is complete.)

+1 Dan, you can buy an emachine for 400$ it might have graphics that are close but if u install more than one game itll be too slow to use those graphics anyway, I have a pretty good computer and with all the shit i have on here I cant play alotta games cuz they get choppy when too much shit starts happening, a game console is much better than a comp. Mich get the Wii and play pokemon, zelda, and mario cart all you want man

how much are PS3's SUPPOSED to sell for lol after watching those vids man im sold but ill wait a while till they are resonably priced

[Michowski]

No way in hell are you going to build a gaming computer that can hang with the PS3 for $600. It WILL NOT HAPPEN. I don't know what you're smokin man. Graphics are going to be better on an HDTV (or decent regular TV) than on a computer. Plus the load time on a computer will be centuries compared to the PS3. (Did someone buy a 360 and is trying to justify it now?? )

Right here. 100+83+175+115+60+28+28=589. Add about 15 dollars for shipping and your done.

Mich.... I have almost that exact setup in my comp. I cannot play the latest games out already. Plus it will be slow as shit by the time you get a few games on there...... Game systems are the way to go if you do not want to drop $1000+ into a virus laiden microsoft computer system.

Mike I got about 8 different high graphics related games that I play regularly and I never see any choppyness or studder. I got COD 2, BF2 special forces, WOW, Max payne 2, half life 2, MOH series, ect ect. I use gametap also and play internet games on sites like that moto game tex posted. No choppyness or nothing. Just raw computer power with everything running nsync with each other.

And funny Mr. Czech..... that +1 is not showing up in my rep?? LoL

Whats the latest games you are talking about? Need help building a computer? If so I can do it for ya. Only thing I have in equal speed is the video card in my links. Everything I have is slower then what I posted and I play all the new games of today and the older games.

Then you might be waiting for a long time. 360 has dropped the price only because the PS3 is about to launch and the PS2 is still either outselling or keeping pace(depends on the month) with the 360. But mainly because the PS3 is about to hit the stores. 360 is planning a major tv ad blitz about the price,new games and all that hoping they can pull some people away. But I doubt it will work.

Prices are $500 or $600,and one of those links,last one I posted I think. Tells you what you get with either system. So the choice is yours. But I wouldnt hold my breath on a price drop anytime soon.

Again.... these "high graphics" games, are not going to hold a candle to the new games PS3 will have. That is why it is going to be better. There is not a computer game that can compare to it right now. You can't deny it..... you can only fit so much content onto a DVD. If you can fit more content onto a disk (blu-ray) then you can have better graphics. Can your computer play games on Blu-ray Ryan???

Once they hit stores (not campers in front of the stores) they will be at approximately $650 and $550. The actual price is supposed to be $600 and $500. At that point I don't think the $50 increase is huge. I am planning on waiting until things die down a little unless I happen to be in the right place at the right time before then.

[Michowski]

you get the ps3 and il have my computer and we'll run the same game side by side and see once and for all which is better. I can honestly give a shit about blue ray. DVD quality is fine to me. HD just spiced it up more. I guess im just not meterialistic over trying to have the latest and greatest in technology. Not for the small difference there is now.

Ryan just wants an excuse to have a date with me..... :o:

[Casketman]

I might wait for christmas. Or after the new years. I know I will get one. Plenty of places here in the kankakee area to buy one LOL. Target,walmart,kmart,best buy,Eb games in the mall,sears. And that is all I can remember off the top of my head. Might be one or two more.

[Michowski]

Do you want to see or not. We'll get it on tape and put it on you tube no matter the outcome and show everybody once and for all. Heres your chance to show me. This will be the only way you can show me its got far better quality then a standard pc.

[Casketman]

DVD quality is fine to me.

And for people like myself. PS3 or 360 quality is fine with me. But the point is from what I see. The days of the PC games being the best out there are numbered. I think with these new systems coming out. There has been a major leap towards being better then a PC.

I mean come on. If the PC games are getting outsold at every turn. How much longer can there be right?

I actually think that would be really cool. We could do a price breakdown on each. (I would like to do it on the HDTV though to take full advantage of it..... )

[Michowski]

Im not hear to start shit but im just saying dont count out a pc when your wanna talk about the graphics department. Right now a computer will dominate. Its a proven fact. Untill the ps3 has been out for a while and its able to be crowned the best, pc is #1 for now if you ask me. Im not denying consoles will outsell pc's in the future either. Just stating for present fact pc dominates the graphics department and will untill something can stand the test of time and decrown it.

[FreeRideFrosty]

And out of curiosity, did pre-orders go on sale today EVERYWHERE?? I am actually thinking of checking out a Best Buy or Toys R Us down here. I can study for my exam in line and make some good money. LoL

happy now dan lol
