wait i thought consoles did have better graphics then pcs?


thats a very contradictory statement there 1nteger!
 
All depends which consoles, your comparing to which PC/graphics card combination.

Personally, I prefer my PC, and don't mind console controllers (I bought a PC -PS2 copy - controller especially to play Vice City).
 
I've gone for 'Yup', because I'm getting an Xbox after my exams, but I will still use the PC for games too ;)

same here lol!!!!

cant wait either!
gona use it as a media centre on my telly!
 
I am not into gaming but my son prefers the console to PC for gaming and since last 2 years he has not come back to gaming on PC. He uses the XBox on a Pixel Plus telly.:D
 
I have gone for no.3 cos i own an Xbox and a Pc, and i must say i have more games for the Xbox than i do the Pc...

The Pc is better for FPS games though...

One thing i will say about Consoles is you haven't got to keep upgrading the graphics in them which is a real money saver...But you do pay more for the games over the Pc equivalant, so over time it's swings and roundabouts on that one...

And you don't have to worry about whether the latest game will run on an Xbox cos you know it will...:D

Doom3 for instance runs like a dog on anything less than a 6600gt with all the eye candy turned on for the Pc..

But the Xbox development team with Doom3's programmers have written the code so it is Optimised for the Xbox's Inferior (and a bit long in the tooth now) Geforce3 4200 TI graphics card...
And you see all the eye candy you need on the Xbox without any drop in performance...:thumb:

As for whether Consoles have better graphics than Pc's thats a definite no...The Xbox has the more powerfull graphics card over the playstation, but it's still meagre over what a Pc offers in terms of performance..


So the Conclusion is General gaming without upgrade problems, ease of use for children and worrying about the next top title not playing.. goes to the Xbox...:)


Where'as the Pc is for the more Hardcare Gamer, willing to keep abreast with new technology, faster frame rates, and wanting a more realistic experience...:p and paying slightly more for it in the long run..


That's my two penneth worth anyway...

I play games on my Xbox, PS2 and PC, I got the ps2 on the day of release (But got a new one last year coz the old one lost the will to live!) Then i got the Xbox, never really played games on the pc until a mate started to get me hooked will the K/B and mouse, From then on i play games on all three of them. Usually the PC when the G/F aint about, coz i only really play FPS on the PC. But the consoles come into their own when we all go back to mine after the pub! Multiplayer madness!! Worms, Mashed, Timesplitters F.P. 1 lap time trials on GT4 round Laguna or if we are feelin confident (or foolish!) round Nurbergring!! But that can get a little messy after a night out! :eek: Brake!!! Smash!! :)

P.S Crazylegs speaks the wise truth, Clearly knows his stuff! :thumb:
 
Well i use both ... lol

XBOX is better for sports games i think ... i only like the pc for shoot 'em ups ... :)

PC is made for that only i reckon :P My view anywayz ...

XBOX etc ... are more fun :S lol
 
i prefer the console mainly because my computer is rubish for gaming lol

i think the pc is only better for shooters and console better for everything else....

also the console doesnt keep needing new upgrades lol :D
 
i love my PC, console are nice but i perfer my PC for gaming most of the time :)
 
I'm crap at console gaming - I'm too used to using a PC!

I mainly like strategy games, so a PC beats a console hands down for that - but if you are into platform/fighting/racing then I imagine consoles win :)
 
Consoles are more fun to have your m8's round with by far lol :)

All join in etc ... specially on the old XBOX LIVE !!! :)

Wooo :) Consoles win on that factor !!!
 
FIFA 2005 is great lol

I'm always winning though they need 2 get better really lol Belloni at mine practising now!

haha! well i would say a console beats a computer really...more fun ect

btw Belloni can beat you all on CS... so he says
 
I don't really like consoles that much especially for FPS games. Its impossible.

I was just playing the demo to star wars republic commando - and if im honest, its bloody amazing. I didnt know the graphics were that good yet! lol... couldnt imagine playing that on a console. Also your average TV has a resolution of 800x600 so thats why you dont get too many performance issues with newer games... your not running them at PC monitor res's... i think
