Yeah, 1080p on a 48 inch Bravia with a 5.1 HK surround sound system doesnt cut the cake anymore for playing a game optimized for a console...rather play in my living room relaxing than paying 500 bucks just for a paltry increase in FPS and anti aliasing when you have to buy a new GPU to say your game looks better than it does on my TV

its not like you cant conect a computer to the exact same set up and it still looks just as good. Computers are more expensive, but its part of staying on the edge of tech. Though I dont like those gaming chairs I would rather have the recliner lol.
I was just messing with you, consoles are good stuff, they make games a lot more accessible. I still would rather keep some games like FPS on the computer. I dont like the controlers and have yet to find a offical PS3 keyboard and mouse that works as good as what I have for the computer. But yea I would take the best of both worlds, computer set up in the living room with the nice chair, sound, and bigger TV.10-02-09 11:59 AM - i used to computer game but its too expensive a habit to keep up. I remember having to overhaul my entire computer when HL2 came out (god those nights of 3 in the morning CS:Source, punching the sh*t out of the monitor and cursing up a storm...the good ol days) and then having to overhaul it AGAIN when i got FEAR for PC (which i still have to this day). I just gave up on that **** and got XI for PC lol which i only played on PC cause i hacked lol...
Personally i prefer the controllers and there arent any clown dump hackers to deal with other than modded controller kids with no skill.
I used to have my PC setup to my TV, its nice to watch bootleg streaming on, but any movie or CD i downloaded i can stream via wireless with my 360. Also the text is too small on a TV with hookups from the GPU, it just doesnt work for me. Although a cool thing to do is run your CPU in dual monitor mode, its pretty awesome for some things
EDIT: I apologize if i was hostile towards you, but you can never tell with people some days if they're being sarcastic or not @_@ and i will not tolerate any heresy of 360 whatsoever!!!10-02-09 12:18 PM - lol devil not a problem
My friend has a dual set up, it made some games awesome lol One of the major issues I have/had with modern warfare on PS3 was the lack of a ability to choose a server to play on. Then again I come from playing Mohaa on ladders (top team for about a year on both major ladders at the time) and the origonal CoD and all that. It drives me batty to not have admin control on a server to enforce certain style of plays or to change server when you want a lower ping and all that kind of stuff.
But thats all just small personal reasons really anyway back to the topic so with the sholes my only two issues are the smalelr amounts of onboard memory and ram and the possible desgin issues right now. I am holidng out till I see a offical picture and can try and play with it in person but it also dose not come out till december. Well as of right now there is only a leak to go off of so we will see.10-02-09 01:14 PM - Its too bad you sound like a complete 360 fanboy.i used to computer game but its too expensive a habit to keep up.

Secondly, you are making horrible upgrades on your comp if you had to upgrade for Fear coming from HL2.
and... honestly... my Elite... is a great dust catcher.10-02-09 02:40 PM
