Well apart from the ram the PS3 fairs well against some of the good pc's out there, plus the added extra of a blu-ray player to boot, but lets not start a console v pc war
I never said it didn't. Hell, I quite like the PS3 (and I'm an Xbox owner! Aren't I pre-programmed to hate the thing or something?), but if we're talking tech. A PC is just as viable a games machine as a PS3.
I'm living on campus and so am totally reliant on their frickin' internet source... =/
That has to suck... So do they block the connection to the PS Network? or is the service just the epitome of weapons-grade crap?
Yeah, a HIGH-end PC, how many people actually own, or have the cash to purchase one of these elitist machines? =o
Lol. You'd be surprised. Besides, you don't need a LOT of money to get something that can be used for games. If you're looking at futureproofing for the next couple of years, that's where you might be looking at the big bucks... (says the person who hasn't upgraded for like, 3 years or something).
If you want elitism, go to a BYO LAN party sometime... Holy crap.
Plus, it has been proven that devs themselves generally don't own the equipment to work on top of the range graphics cards for the PC and the ones most commonly used aren't as good as the ones currently in the PS3.
Well that's it. Where the PS3 is a dedicated console where there's a standard set of specs, there's limitless amounts of combinations of PC rigs out there. I'll give consoles that over PC's: Convenience. That and a lack of World of Warcraft

The interfaces on this gen of consoles are so advanced now that they are almost considered computers, I can't remember whether Sony won the right to label it's console and computer in the courts (something to do with taxes), but I don't see why not.
Don't get me started. I'm still amazed at what the current gen can do and what's continually coming out. Even the Xbox which -admittedly, is rather average compared to the PS3 constantly hits me in the face with something that makes me go "wow, that's totally awesome".
What's more awesome is that -seeing as video games are kinda accepted as "the norm" now, and not a passtime for complete and utter nerds, there's something that suits everyone out there, and you're not as limited as you were when it was just Sega and Nintendo.
Anyways, I've waffled on enough about nothing to do with the topic. I'll solemnly swear to keep it a little more on track!

So... who here would actually be interested in FF14? I remember when FF11 came out and there were mixed reactions. Most of them to do with "ZOMGS! I DUN WANA PLAY FF INTERNET GAME! ;____;!!!"
