So, I think I can have PS3 or new PC (for gameplay) for next christmas. Which should I get?

PS3:
+ Cheaper
+ Onlinegaming is KICKASS
+ Grand Theft Auto IV
- No cool MMRPGs (If u know some cool ones, please tell me)

PC
+ I can do other things with it too (not so much tho, it will be for me and my bro and it will be just for gameplay)
+ MMORPGs
- PS3 is kinda cooler I think
- Costs more
- No GTA IV (yet...)

Please tell me what you think and suggest some games too if you can.

Love
HilgaMan

hilgaman, you're better off getting a pc. even if it is more expensive, you get more for your money.

Xbox.

*Edit* Seeing as Kyle gave me a warning for just writing Xbox, i think I ought to elaborate. Personally, I think its because he's a Sony fan-boy, but i digress... actually, I'll probably get banned for saying that. It was a tounge-in-cheek remark, reffering to Microsoft being better than Sony.

If you want a gaming system, personally, I would go elsewhere. If your looking for a multiplayer platform, get a PC.

Nintendo 64 :smug:

Eh it depends. I never play PC games because I'd rather have a controller in my hand than a keyboard and mouse. I would go for the PS3 because you can do lots with it and imo it has better games.

I think I wasn't clear enough. The PC will be for GAMEPLAY. All music and stuff will be on this other computer.

If you get a PS3, then we can play with eachother.
It's a gamers system. A PC is for much more than just gaming, and with a PS3 you can play with your friends when they come over. You could get Rock Band and jam out with a couple friends. You could do split screen and play with your friends. You could go online and game with me. Seriously, go for the PS3 unless the PC is for more than just gaming.

yo, even though i prefer pc instead of ps3, in ur case u should get a ps3 since u are just using it for gameplay. the pc can provide better graphics and stuff, but in the long term of gaming, graphics cards become obsolete very quickly so after a year of buying a gd pc, the card may be outed and cant run games to their max potential. its also more hassle installling pc games and making sure that they can wrk.
the ps3 is simply a gaming machine...and from what i've read, its exactly what u need.

PS3 ,but be careful to choose the right one. there are 4 diff PS3's that have different features the 40GB and the 80GB are the ones found in most stores. the older versions 20GB and the 60GB(which i have) cannot always be found in stores ,because of the newer models. the models all have different features. Also, ask a store associate to have a better understanding of the different features. P.S. if you are going to play on an HDTV that has an HDMI port it is worth getting an HDMI cable

Here's the reason I gave you the warning.
Your remark was garbage. You don't see other people going around in a 360 gamertag thread saying "it's all about the PS3." I don't say how much better Metal Gear Solid is than Halo. You don't see me doing that crap. I do defend PS3 in threads when needed. I am a fan of the 360, though, also. I do enjoy gaming with my friend on his. I'm not a sony "fanboy" or any of that bullshit. The only reason I bought a PS3 is because my cousin told me to get it because he was getting a 360 and I'd be copying him if I got one also. My warning wasn't out of hand, and it's only one warning. You need 3 to be banned. It is supposed to get the point accross that we don't like garbage spam posts. Just ask Wiggs. I personally PMed him about his behavior, before I got the capability to warn people. I'm not going to ban you, and I'm not going to warn you again. I'm just sick of seeing bullshit posts. Feel free to dislike me for doing my job.

Get a PlayStation 3,

They are amazing little games consoles (and in my opinion run better and more smoothly that my xBox), but a little but of advice;

Buy a 250Gb + Sata 5400rpm hard drive and swap it for your PS3 one; that right custom, my PS3 is running with a 500Gb Hard Drive xD
