Not trying to be funny here. Both are on different league. both caters for different players. Console is for gaming. Yes, Blue rays are expensive, but hey, they still can be sold out to other players after you'd gone bored playing. Yes a pc can play pirated games, but have you ever wonder, PC games title evolve everytime? They'll keep pace to the ever changing hardwares where else in console, they have to stick to the current hardware available. You will be spending more on hardware than gaming. After 1 year, basically your hardware will turn out obsolete and the next contender is the recommended requirement for the new games.

Honestly, I feel most people hammering ps3 doesn't have a slightest idea of it. If you walkthrough the console garage sale page, you would find there ain't much owners letting go of their ps3 set. Pretty much all the console owner is happy with it.

If currently you don't have a pc, then its wise to get one as you need to do your work or surf the web leisurely. If you wish to be a hardcore gaming player, i would highly recommend ps3. who says ps3 cannot be used as a pc? you can run linux in it.

at the end of the day, it depends on your taste of game. Personally I still prefer ps3 as its still serves a good purpose for gaming. Not to mention the high resolution support 1080p at a minimal hardware. effects, color are breathless. the only downside is working all the gaming under the gamepad.

Ps. Me no ps3 fanboy, me just voicing out what is right.

I'm truly aware that there both pc & console are equally sparred. My post was create awareness to those whom just hammering the console without bringing out the facts.

Yes both system do provide a exciting gameplay in different ways. Much we know they will not cross the borderline of excitement. PC will definitely have more controls as opposed to the stagnant gamepad. If we look down in history, PC games with good titles will have a long run as compared to console. After all, we can roughly say, all the people here will have at least a computer, but not many would own a console.

This is my fair share of opinion as I too once was a hardcore gamer since 386 & atari era till today. This is just another debate like Mac Vs PC
