    Mate, we've already said, Techspot doesn't condone pirating. Also, coherent English would be nice.

    - Yes, you can play Xbox on a monitor. Use HDMI cable.
    - No one knows if Xbox 720 will be backwards compatible with X360 games.

    PC as always what not it can do... Games From lowest setting for just who cares about story or plot.. To Maximum setting for one who cares about the looks and all the Mumbo Jumbo.. Games of today games of yesteryear's, Movies, music, information, learning and development. Cheap build or expensive build PC will always outshine others ;-)

    Everyone even the fanboys that can't accept the truth knows that ps3 runs better than 360 when it comes to picture quality. In fact my ps3 visually beats my $450 pc with an old phenom x2 and a cheap $225 evga 660 card, so I've been mostly using my ps3 for a while till I can get a new system.

    There is no lie about PS3 producing a higher graphical quality than the 360, and that IS coming from a Microsoft fanboy. The PS3 also one-ups the 360 via free internet, better exclusives (in my opinion) and a simpler interface, but what the Xbox lacks in graphics, it generally made up with in smoothness, as it almost always had a higher framerate. The online is obviously of a higher-quality, but that is, again, for obvious reasons - I'm sure that if PS3 made users pay, theirs would be better. Microsoft's security was generally better as well, with a small number of hacked accounts and the market wasn't hacked. But when you're comparing a tailor made gaming console that cost about $450, and a general use $450 PC it's obvious that the console will outdo the PC, whereas the console is usually in development for years, tailor made and they don't need to make as much profit on the sale of each console, as they make money via royalties on the sale of each games and each marketplace DLC.

    PS. all rumours also point to the PS4 being better too.

    I think you're still young and living at home and should listen to what your parents tell you. Save your money for university or something.

    I have all 3 . I made my own rig for $700 and it runs all games great. I didn't use my 360 because I was sick of paying for online , and for more batteries. I use my PS3 for PS3 exclusive games because they have good ones ( the 360 doesn't have. ) .
    So by far PC is the best , Close battle for 2nd but PS3 , Xbox360 is 3rd . My favourite consle would have to be the nintendo gamecube. Yeah I said nintendo!;)

    I hink I ahould buy a ps 3 after the ps4 comes out cuz it will cost about 200$ which I have now ( I have 150€) ... Wgat do u think guys??? Btw ps4 will not be backwords compatible...
  13. ETF Soldier TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 199   +21

    PS4 won't be backwards compatible at launch, but Sony are looking in to it, and might make it comparable with a patch. I can't believe it's been this long and you still haven't made up your mind. If you want to play, buy it now.
  14. St1ckM4n TechSpot Maniac Posts: 1,509   +196

    PS3's are selling for $150 now, just saying.
  15. ZBestGamor Newcomer, in training Posts: 20

    Where?? ( not in my country for sure!!!) In Serbia ( where I live) it costs now 300€ and 350€ and that's slim not super slim!! But xbox costs 200€...
  16. St1ckM4n TechSpot Maniac Posts: 1,509   +196

    300 euro? Sucks to be you man. :( The latest 12GB PS3 has RRP of like $250 max.

    Amazon is pretty good, they tend to have international prices, but rather the shipping costs.

    What do you think... I broke my arm a week ago and I got 100€ from the insurance companies... I have 200€ what should I buy xbox or ps3 or a monitor?? I have a big long old monitor....
  19. ETF Soldier TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 199   +21

    In my opinion? Get a console over a monitor, because you can play that while you save up for a new monitor, as opposed to staring at a blank screen while saving up for a console, as to which console - the PS3 is better of the two overall, but the 360 has better online which everyone knows. In the end it's your decision.

    Well... I don't have money for the ps3(300€) but I have 4 xbox (200€) but I don't wanna pay xbox live... its to expensive ... should I wait 4 the ps3 price drop...(after the ps4 comes out) it will cost 200€ or less and multiplayer will be free.
