In reply to Warlok.

Anyone that knows a lick about the finer points of PC gaming can pick apart the inaccuracies in your statements. I am currently own an M9650F HP Elite (release date 13-Mar-2009) that I bought for a bargain price. I upgraded the video card to a 5770 over a year ago. The system was originally manufactured with Windows Vista, which I upgraded to Windows 7.

I can play ANY current FPS title on it. Both Crysis 2 and Homefront run on high settings. I can also play any MMO title on it with maxed out settings.

You either have something wrong with your system or there is weak link in your components.

@warlok
you must’ve built a shitty PC because my $60 Radeon HD4670 runs new games on high.

Ugh. Not the dreaded PC vs Console discussion! Yeah yeah, PC is more powerful the day you buy it, but after one year you can’t play any new releases without upgrading. For example, my PC is 4 years old. I have upgraded the video card as far as it will go without having to replace the motherboard and power supply. I cannot play ANY new releases on it. Even games that came out 2 years ago I have to crank down the graphic settings to get them to run smooth.
A new pc with a nice graphics card today will be a dinosaur in a year. That’s not my opinion, it’s just a fact. On the other hand, my 5.5 year old console plays all the new releases in high definition on a 52 inch LCD with most of the top selling shooters running at 60FPS. Crisis 2? Check. Black Ops? Check. Gears of War 3? Check. (coming soon)
Look, I am no game developer, and I give HUGE kudos to you guys for squeezing every last drop of power out of these systems. It’s a testament to your expertise and also to what these consoles are capable of in the right hands. I don’t know what corners you guys cut on the console versions of these games, but alot of them look and run every bit as good as their PC counterparts with no upgrading or additional spending needed. That’s why consoles will always outsell PC. STAYING POWER.
