Actually you do not need to upgrade your gc every year. My humble 7900 gs have better or equivalent graphics capability as PS3 or Xbox. Gears of Wars or older games such as Prey and Condemned looked better on the pc. Don't forget if you want to run next gen console you'll also need next gen tv which still cost more than 2.5K. If you use old tv, the graphics will not be as good. For PC I can even run it on my good old CRT monitor and they still look better than normal tv.

Somemore,nowadays game developer only design games for console,and they dont want focus on pc gaming anymore(except crysis),most of the developer just port the console version title to PC,so the graphic definately lose to console.From example the PC version Call Of Duty 4 graphics is so lame compare to Xbox 360 and PS3 version.Honestly,eventhough you run COD 4 on high spec PC the graphic still lost to Xbox 360 version(or ps3).Console is designed for those who want fun and High-end gaming as well.PC is only suitable for playing the games like "Dota",and all those chinese online gaming which dont need high-end graphics.

You have to be joking right? What graphics card are you using to play COD4 on a PC. I'm using 8800gt and the graphics is superior than PS3.

For your info, I've a PS3 and I have the original copy of COD4 on PS3 but I sold it an bought the PC version instead. To say that PC is only suitable for games like Dota or all those chinese online games is an ultimate insult to pc gamers.

It all depends on what type of games you're playing. If you're interested in online, strategy or FPS, PC is a better choice. I do admit that the next gen console have equivalent or sometimes better graphics than some PC games, esp. MGS4 (wow!!!!) but if the port to PC is properly done, eg. games such as Gears or Wars, Mass Effect, etc. the graphics is much more better than the console version.

Anyway, this is a stupid thread. This type of thread will pop out once in awhile. If not console vs pc, its Xbox vs PS or Nds vs PSP, etc.

Its like comparing your d ick is bigger than my d ick. There's no answer. As long as you are satisfied, whats the use of comparing.

500 bucks for just the graphics card.

not forgetting the RAM,OS,HDD,etc..

if you want to go the pirate way,then definitely pc is cheaper (assuming you're more than fine not upgrading anytime soon)
go original,and consoles are not only cheaper,but less headache too.(pc=incompatibility issues,driver issues,patch problems,etc= rclxub.gif )

besides,not everyone leaves their pc in the living room,but the console sits snug right there.

That's not really true. Original PC games cost much more cheaper than console games. Take a look at COD4. PC versions maximum only costs only around RM160/- when it first come out. Xbox 360 & PS3 version costs around RM200/-. Furthermore, the online capabilities of PC version is superior with mods, etc.
