Good to hear ur thoughts, I love playing games like Crysis, COD, GTA, NFS, and more on those racing + action. But im afraid of getting consoles. So far on my search throughout the net, i heard many complaints on the YROD for PS3 and RROD in X360. Im afraid of buyin it and ending up waste as it fails. Im extreme gamer n i do play like more than 6 hours straight. So, should i get the console? My home has no AC, n kinda Hot here. Even my lappy gets overheated sometimes.

The PS3 got 2 version rite, the FAT one and the SLIM one. I heard now all is SLIM, so, is the SLIM better or FAT better? SLIM seems like can OVERHEAT. Any comments on that?

Dude...you have a serious problem...you simply don't know what you want!!

First u mentioned extreme graphics, no compromise, blah...then u said ur limited by budget...can't upgrade PC blah...

Well, i got story for you consoles will ALWAYS be inferior to PC because hello...$$$ talks. You can't have BOTH cake and eat it to..u know.

And if you hate problems. generally, PC is the most stable...spare parts are cheap and u can fix it yourself.

Most importantly, it's about games...you're a PC gamers and most console games probably won't interest u much. And you'll feel bad when u play inferior version of PC ports on ur console...even a cheap RM3xx ATI 4850 coupled with a decent quadcore can outdo any PS3 and XBOX.

Btw, i don't see why u need to upgrade every 6 months...a good GPU can easily last 2 or 3 years....my ATI 4850 still rocks and runs DMC4 and SF4 way better than the PS3 version.,,,and i only use a duo-core, not even quad core...doh.gif

My advice: forget about console and get a good mid range GPU...easily last you a couple of years...and still probably looks better than the console version.

PS:I'm not dissing console. I love console games more than PC games...but now has retired from console gaming and mostly play a little on the PC....(and  a loads of nice CAPCOM console games is now on PC with better performance..smile.gif )

I do agree with some of ur points. But what i meant by $$$ is that, a PC which u buy now say approx RM4K worth of hdware, in 2 years time is like "CHEAP LIKE HELL" and u know that price falls like crazy, for the past 10years of my exp, its just changes so fast, of course its a good thing, tech stuff needs BOOM! all the time. consoles are the other side, u get 1 and it guarantees ur gaming like 'Years' as long as the dev produces the games, ie: PS2, its been so long n yet they still have games runin n lots of it, (of course new ones no more) but we can see the major diff in the dev peak.

PC the other end, keeps getin faster n better + game dev is pushing the GPU to the limit for better games. I stil remember when GTA IV pops out, many mid end PC's suffers low graphics performance capability, so as a gamer for years, i have also own more than 3 PC's and each one is not like CAN UPGRADE foreeeeveeeer... so it needs change. So if u don f $$$ prob, then its ok.

Lets cap back 3 years, when u can have P4 3.X GHz HT, with 2GB RAM n some ATi X series GPU. Does it allows u to play games like crysis n so on? Its a NO. So PC gaming grows damn fast than consoles, so console is pretty much stable for gamers. (In My Opinion even though i didnt own any consoles before as i was PC freak, which now im kinda seeing the other side)

btw, thanks for sharing some thoughts. I was sharing mine too. but i do love PC games more. so im on a try for console.

Good info there, I am more like on all games, coz i love FPS, those racing type NFS as i played all their series n Shift also completed, then i oso play those RA3, DMC4 and my all time fav GTA! So, seeing both PS3 n X360 games, its good for it is rite now.

I did some search on the graphics comparison for GTA IV (As im crazy for it), i found the graphics quality is damn good for PC, followed by X360 and then PS3. So, im kinda disappointed by the consoles graphics after seeing this: CLICK HERE

considering GTAIV on PC launched almost 6 months later than its console counter part
if you have the patience to wait for PC version on most games, PC is suitable for you then

rclxms.gif Exactly, thats what ive been doing. But there is a suden feel for trying consoles. just thinking before future regrets. unsure.gif

Sorry, what? Game for Windows Live? The PC offers far better than the Xbox LIVE can ever offer any day, and for free! The online experience starts with the PC, not consoles. You obviously had no idea about pc gaming at all.  doh.gif

True, i do agree.

Consoles almost all the same unless you are the type that goes for pirated ones only.

Beware of peep in here who tries to entice u to buy any console. Do your own research and homework accordingly to what type u want.

Due to the heavy competition between 3 consoles, u wont see much promising games  with some spontaneous features. It's more on FPS , Interactive , smulation with heavy HD elements focused these days. All 3 consoles have it and none of them lacks any of the above mentioned flavours.

The few interesting game which caught my attention is idolmaster and the DOA beach game which ps3 nv had. That's the only 2 fancy game i find it interesting for xbox360. Yea till these days , sony still on their own track without listening to what most gamers demands.
*
Yup, im doing my research on that.

Btw, i got QUES for all. I went and check out the current price for both consoles and their warranty + games.

For Price:
PS3 - RM1299 (Price from Ori SONY CENTRE)
X360 - RM1200 (Arcade, Modded)

Warranty:
Both gives only 1 YEAR, i wonder what happened to the 3 YEARs RUMOURS... Anybody? hmm.gif

Games:
X360 - Can get AHEM2 games biggrin.gif
PS3 - All ORI only wink.gif

Types of Games:
I found my most fav games are from X360, Some on PS3... Not interested in Wii curently... rclxms.gif

So, I did some calculation... And Still doing... rolleyes.gif

So, i need expert advice on how to know the consoles i buy will be NEW/GOOD/ORI(Modded/Not) and is there any details on specs that i need to know?
PS3 no worries, can get the ORI from SOny Centre. So my concern on X360? Btw, there sell Arcade, Jasper version. Whats the ELITE thingy? Need to know more details. notworthy.gif

unfortunately not much does care over these despite the result they gonna get.

I had a few friends who explain that ps3 too expensive and xbox play offline enough no need online. They just want to spend 1k plus to buy 1/2 the feeling of it rather then experiencing fully what xbox had lol.
Well of course i dont really object to such opinion since offline version is best to spend 1k plus on rather then using their pc to play which is hilarious.

True, im also more on offline based. I only play certain games online using my PC, most of it im on offline.
