well said, perfection cant be improved

I do think that the ps3 controller looks like it's a little better. Using the analog sticks was always awkward for me on the ps2 controllers.

Nothing is perfect, so yes, sony could at least tried to improve it. I personally find it unconfortable, but thats just me.

Back on the original topic, I would always spend money on my pc first, and then use the left overs for a console if any. On PCs you do much more than just gaming.

Go for the pc upgrades. Are you going to get the 400$ one? If so, you'd better have HDTV(480i,640p,960p,1080i) highspeed connection for xboxlive, (then you would have to buy a router if you want to share youre connection)And lastely money for the games.Games for the 360 are 40-50$, i doubt they will be going down anytime soon. So just upgrade your pc, ram, mouse, keyboard, speakers, accessories, ect ect.

I think it all depends on what you want to do. Do you want to play your PC games on high settings, or do you want to game on a console. I can't really answer it beyond that.

you wont get as good of graphics with a console, i dont follow consoles much, but the only way to get as good as a pc is if they support HI Def, and if you actually have a HI Def TV,

that being said, depending on what type of games you like will affect how you upgrade your pc, if you like games like battlefield 2, your best upgrade solution will cost you some cash, as you really should get a new MB, Ram, and Graphics card with the new technology, AGP graphics cards are on the way out for the newest/best games, and u will need about the best one they make to play bf 2 well, my buddy just got a new md, dual core processor, and the new vid card, new ram, thats way better than agp, and his other system is a ati radion 9800 pro, and the diference in graphics is phenomenal. unfortunalty that route will cost you some dough, but if u get the best agp card available, it wont last as long, as far as the newer games coming out will require the newer graphics card, but like i said, depends on the type of games u like.

There are a couple mobos out there that have both an agp and a pci-e slot to make the transition slightly less painful on the wallet. The original post said that you were looking at a 7800GT, though, so I assume that you already have a pci-e mobo.

My advice, wait for the price to fall on the 360. Once the stock catches up with the demand, the prices will stabilize. When Sony releases the PS3 look for Microsoft to drop the price even more to steal some thunder.


That is if you can wait.

Hell, keep saving til the end of the video card giveaway, you just might wing that card, and be able to buy an Xbox360! I would ofcourse wait til there aren't anymore reports of bugs 'n glitches...

haha I'm still using big fatty. I prefer it to the s controller and I think I'm one of a dozen or so in the world that do. It's very hard to find the original controllers now. they must have stopped making them.

My brother-in-law still uses the big fatty, too. He hates the S controller. Of course, now he has a 360, so he may start prefering the S when he has to use the original xbox.
