stickzilla Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Consoles aren't made to cater towards having the absolute best graphics available.Y'all are just finding reasons to complain and be proud of your oh so leet home machines.For people who don't have gaming PCs (or just prefer to play on their tv), it's a bit of a deal to get a 360, extra controller, and play with a friend in the living room on a game they like, compared to both of them buying gaming PCs.I enjoy gaming on my PC at times, but it suuuuure is nice playing my 360 on my roommate's 56" HDtv. I'll take it this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 ya.. that makes sense. and how much does a 56" hdtv cost? and as for controllers, i have 2 xbox controllers hooked up to my computer right now so me and friends can play games like madden 2006.

stickzilla Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Tell me how much a 56" monitor would cost, to be comparable ! = PBut yeah, it all comes down to your specific needs and desires. I just find it foolish for one to assume a console is junk , just because their PC already satisfies their personal gaming needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 im not assuming, ive tried out the 360 and i just hated it. it may also be b/c the 360 needs an hdtv to look any good, therefore it really costs 1000$+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kartel Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) We are playing Perfect Dark Zero now and the graphics are killer, he only has a toshiba 35" TV but its still real good, especially when you walk up close to bricks and tiles, almost looks wet and fresh to touch.I dont know if this is the "best" gamming solution but it's pretty **** good.We also played QUAKE 4 and it was real cool, when you go through the conveyer belt and the robots chop you up and you see the guy ahead of you getting torured first, real cool.We finished Prey, very wierd vagina doors and puckered butcracks everywhere......very strange indeed.

However, the 360 does have some very good games. I've enjoyed my 360, at least what I got to play of it before it kicked the bucket. At least it died in warranty, the replacement should be back soon, I hope Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcyphure Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 (edited) according to the specs it looks closer to 7800gtxpc's and consoles opperate very differently and devs can push propriatary hardware easier, pc's cant share and streamline all of its hardware power for one gamefor instance, xbox had a geforce 3/pentium 3...my geforce 3 and p4 processor could never push graphics like ninja gaiden or dead or alive 3...not even close, it barely ran the original gta 3 lolalso for me to get oblivion to look and play like the xbox 360 version cost me nearly $2 grand worth of hardware, both have thier own advantages.i know some like to argue the fact that pc's can do more like surf the web and burn mp3's....but so can a pentium 2 and win95, so regardless cost wise and ease of use is likely why there are more console gamers than pc gamers Edited August 29, 2006 by dcyphure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 so you're saying that your 2k comp looks the same as ur 360? ive compared my 2k system to a 360 and its not even a comparison. now unless you spend 2k on an htdv.... now i cant comment on an hdtv.

ripken204 Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 except then you would need a decent lcd monitor, at least 200$. but 95% of ppl would use their xbox on their monitor, they would but it on their family room tv or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, then, according to the specs it looks closer to a 7600GT. It has the same crippled 128bit memory bus (7800GTX is 256bit, and you can't underscore the impact of halving the bandwidth), is closer to the same clock speed (originally 550Mhz, recently dropped to 500Mhz, actually 60Mhz *beneath* the 7600GT), etc.Anyway, point being that PS3--much like Xbox 360--simply *isn't* as powerful as a current high end PC, it's closer to a mid-range system.Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4g4d4u Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 some of the games scheduled to come out with the ps3 look really cool though. i.e. assassins creed, mgs4, splinter cell double agent. where as most of the games ive seen for 360 so far havent really stirred up much interest in me what so ever. but that could just be my opinion and the fact i havent looked into many games being released on the 360 where as i do plan on picking up a ps3 thus search up and coming games for it. but really a consoles only as good as the games that support it, a console with terrible games but great specs probably wont please people as much as a console with poor specs and great fun games. just my .02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
