I have been a console player for years. I just played the demo of Bioshock from Stream, and it ran a LOT smoother than the Xbox, and also looked better. I think i might start PC gaming :-)

prepare to enter an awesome but costly sink-hole you may never recover from ;)

but seriously some times pc gaming will blow your socks off especially at the higher end stuff (eyefinity, 3d (this is also coming to consoles, but come on it's gonna be crap and we all know it) etc)

What? Console ports?

I agree. If you were to buy something just to play current and future games then thats pretty much all there is.

I've finished Bioshock 1 twice on the PC. I downloaded the PS3 demo out of curiosity and it looked and ran great:confused:
 
The lack of PC games let alone optimised PC games is becoming a joke tbh. I was massively disappointed not see Alan Wake come on PC. Adds this to the long list of games that didn't make their way on to the platform. Quality or not, if the games aren't coming out, there is little financial sense or reason to spend big money on PC hardware. That's my view anyway.
 
Ignore the pessimists, theres plenty of games on the PC and plenty more to come and those that are already out on all platforms generally look a lot better on the PC, take BC2, when i've seen it running on the consoles half the effects are missing and it just looks awful, particulary on 360.

Good to have a convert, i've been PC gaming for a long time and just built a new system and i'm loving it
 
tbh, i have both the 360 and my gaming PC and even with my old stop gap GPU Bioshock looks and runs better than the Xbox edition.

As has been said, it will cost you, but the benefits of gaming on a PC are worth it i think :D
 
At the risk of turning this thread into one of "those" threads.

Similarly, being a PC gamer with online FPS for over 10 years I recently played MW2 on Xbox360 (online) as a friend kindly brought his console over to play at my house.

After 5 minutes of playing I was nearly sick through how badly it looked/played compared to PC. I sat straight back on my PC, loaded BC2 and showed my friend that game. Needless to say the Xbox didn't get any more love that evening.

All in all I wouldn't mind having a console for the odd game that comes out, especially in what seems a dwindling PC game market with good games becoming a rarity and an ever increasing console only versions of a game. Having said that I'd rather stick with my PC any day.
 
It's best to have a console for games that don't come out for PC or that are bad ports, like Fifa 2010 for example.
 
My fiancé’s son is a big Xbox360 gamer…. Until I loaded up Steam and gifted him a copy of Half Life 2, Napoleon Total War and Portal… Portal was on a free weekend so helped him grab a freebie, since then he was hooked…

I’ve now gifted him a copy of Batman Arkham GOTY on Steam as he has a i5, 4GB and an ATI 5770, we built him a decent PC for his xmas present last year, and he didn’t want to play PC games at the time… I knew I’d convert him before too long.. I just had to take my time and lure him in…….

Got him now though..!! lol He commented that Batman Arkham looked twice as good when compared to the Xbox360 version and said the graphics for Napoleon Total War were amazing…

He wouldn’t believe me when I said Half Life 2 (a game which just had an overhaul) was nearly 6 years old. He commented that it looked just as good if not better then COD MW2 on his Xbox360…

I plugged his Xbox360 controller in as well, and he’s now well away.. another happy PC gamer in the making…

I am considering selling my PS3, what I hated the most about PS3 as the machine is quite decent, but it was the screen tearing… Too many games with low res (less then 720 for some) and too frequent screen tears meant I couldn’t play it much more..

PS3 is a fantastic console, it does so much, apart from play games at high res without flitching visuals and screen tearing..
