Computer or ps3?

anuraj · 5 Feb 2011 at 23:37

I know this is a stupid question on here and you can be a bit biased but what should I choose. I'm the only pc gamer in my whole entire secondary school and none of my friends pc game but most of my friends have a ps3

If you want to have fun with your friends get a PS3, If you want better graphics and more variety in games etc get a PC.

Isn't exactly saying which one I should get.

Not as powerful, worse graphics, filled with skilless campers, constant 2 yr old ragers and general haters.

And I very very much doubt you're the only one. In my form alone (so thats a class of 18) there are 12 PC Gamers (granted most also have a console, but they game on PC just as much).

Honestly I think you should be able to answer this question yourself

Not in my case. I live in Leicester people in Leicester seem to not like computer advanced tech.

I think ps3, like you say none of your friends use a pc, if you wanna play along with them it is the logical choice, perhaps leave the pc till you are older and your mates will have more cash and maybe they will get into pc gaming

So I get £1100 to spend on a computer or ps3 I'm not completely sure some people say pc some say others. Aren't games cheaper on pc?

Yes but you also have compatibility problems.. random things can happen with PC's.. its up to you really.. although you do seam to get a more mature gamer on a PC

anuraj · 5 Feb 2011 at 23:52

Hardest decision ever because pc's are upgradeable with out much money once you've bought for the first time and ps3 might get a new one later on which means I will have to buy a whole new system.

Get both

Parents wont let me! :mad:

None of my mates game on PCs, apart from one Russian guy I know but we're not really mates

Still couldn't see myself moving to consoles... there's no way in hell I'd play any FPS with a controller and I've got a 360 one for my driving games anyway. Best of both worlds.

I'd say PC overall, you're right games are much cheaper on release, generally £20-30 (apart from COD games which never come down in price, and Blizzard games like Starcraft, though that may actually be worth it) which will eventually end up going some way towards paying for what you spend on hardware initially.

Are you a fan of RTS games?

anuraj · 5 Feb 2011 at 23:57

No shooters and game like assasin's creed. I don't mind waiting for games.

Just tell them the PC is for school work and the PS3 is to relax after all that studying

I'm 12 and I'm jobless but one of the smartest in my entire year 7. I don't revise and my laptop works all right considering it's an e6400 processor with 2GB of ram and a mobility radeon hd3430 but I would prefer something new so I can play games on higher settings.

*Son (I am guessing), why do you need dual Radeon 5970's to use microsoft word?*

Max3 · 6 Feb 2011 at 00:09

Since your friends are all on ps3 then that's the way to go

Get a pc later on!

That's easy for you to say you have a 2500k
