I play on my ps3 due to my friends all being on that

pauLAW · 26 Nov 2012 at 08:38

I use my PC and my PS3 depending on what im playing.

Fifa13 I play on PS3
Any FPS games I will play on PC.

Good thing about the PS3 is that I use the media server and blu ray.

I have a decent machine but I never play on it. Its got to the stage where I am never really going to upgrade it because I play most things on the PS3. I also have a 360 but that never really gets used.

I have a couple of decent gaming pc's in the house but for some reason, last 6 months I seem to be having more fun playing the Wii more than anything. Ps3 and 360 just gathering dust.

Have PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

99% of my gaming is done on the Xbox, PC will likely be used more for F2P games (Planetside and SWTOR - if I ever get over the install problems).

My PS3 is used only for watching blu-rays.

I ditched consoles back in the late 90's once PC gaming took off.

Have all nearly all consoles and handhelds (I'm a collector

)

I try and buy all my games for PC and just buy the exclusives for the consoles.

This is pretty much the best answer. And then the games that run better on PC, generally you'll grab those too.

Like Mass effect, Although I have to admit for some reason the community aspects, like achievements keep me playing on Xbox 360. Not because I like to try and get a high number. but I have all my friends on Xbox 360 and it's nice to compare, or see whether they've got achievements I havent. etc.

You see not many of my friends game on PC. I'm talking real life friends, not online buddies. They all have consoles though, and as such its a better social experience for me.

MrMarvelous · 26 Nov 2012 at 16:10

I did have a PS3, played all the amazing exclusives and then sold it and now i'm just using the PC. Might regret selling it though, The Last of Us (or whatever it's called) looks amazing.

My PC costed me 640 pounds all together i5 and 7950 which i had to RMA so 400 pounds was the whole PC without the GPU...
My PC should last 4 years

Than when, I get a nice car or motorbike. I will defently not going back to gaming.

When my whole PC will start to struggle in 3-4 years, Ill probably buy a console as well...
They will better graphics in my opinion, todays consoles arent that great.

I ended up selling my 250gb X360 slim to my mum lol. She just uses it for netflix.

SeraphX · 26 Nov 2012 at 18:00

Indeed
Most of the games I play on PS1, PS2, Xbox, Megadrive, Gamecube, N64 cannot be found on PC.

Today my friend asked my if a still have my xbox, games and headset, his intrested so, I might considering selling it to him.

Frxn · 2 Dec 2012 at 23:17

Still PS3 for most of my gaming for the simple reason that almost all my gaming friends are now ex-PC and shifted to PS3, I don't enjoy playing with randoms these days so my PC gaming is for RTS and PC-exclusive, as much as I'd love to include FPS (it's just terrible on console) but again..don't like playing online by myself. For most of them it's just easier and (at least up front) cheaper to game on console.

One day I'll buy one of those converter things that lets you use keyboard and mouse in any PS3 game, never got around to it so far.

I would play on a PC if I could afford a gaming pc, so i'm stuck with a PS3. I would love to be able to play BF3 on PC, I practically lived BF2 on the PC. PS3 is fun enough mind.

Same, BF2 was my #1 game at that point, really disappointed with BF3 in comparison.

IC3 · 7 Dec 2012 at 19:20

I made a decision to sell my 360

darwin · 7 Dec 2012 at 20:26

PC for racing sims - trackIR, 3d Vision and wheel/pedals = big fun. Sold my PS3 as I only got it or GT5. I like the annual iterations of Tiger Woods golf on the 360 so its a keeper!

bought the rig in my sig, havent game with it that much, all i play on the xbox really is fifa as all my friends have it, and none of them have a pc capable of gaming, so im stuck on console

so much power wasted as all i use my pc for is just browsing the net
