lol, no, it isn't. Carth has a PC with over a gig of VIDEO RAM. 2 512 mb video cards. PS3 ain't got shit on that....

PS3 has 8 cpu's. Yup, 8 individual processors built into one, designed by IBM, Toshiba, and Sony. High end PCs have two, so....there you go. I think the reason people like pc for games so much is because they do everything else on it, so a certain fondness develops, a bond if you will. I felt that way a little bit years ago when I loaded up the Doom games and Hexen and Heretic. Those were awesome games, but overall imo a console has the most playability with the gaming experience honed to perfection, with none of the bs. Playing Zelda, Mario, Castlevania, Tony Hawk, Final Fantasy, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Solid, etc on a pc just wouldn't be the same. That's the reason consoles are developed, because they wouldn't play the same or as good on a pc.

IMO consoles are better because not every game for a pc that you like is compatable..or it has lags and it takes long to load...plus sitting in a comp chair playing games sucks..with a console you know that the games will work on them and there is no lags..you can also get a wireless remote and lounge on the couch to play

I'll kill you.


What FPS do you play?

Mostly Urban Terror a q3 mod. I know it's old, but I keep going back to it no matter how many new games I pick up.

I also play counter strike source, call of duty, enemy territory, UT2004 and a few others.

learning curves for pc games is too high. don't have the time. plus games+computer+office never mixed for me.

i like sofa, big tv, controller, beer, etc. in the living room. i play games when i relax. i ca't relax in an office chair.
