And the PC vs console thing? I play on both. FPS, Strategy & MMO's mostly on PC. Racing, 3rd person stuff and fighting games mostly on console.
You can all wave around with pics and vids all you want, in the end it boils down to personal choice and financial situation.

I have yet to see any decent console shooter that does not exist in superior form on the PC. Halo3 is a prime example of how games are dumbed and and simplified for the casual audience of consoles - the only people who love this game are people who haven't been into gaming very long (or simply have taste).
PS. I run crysis on mid-high on a rig that cost me less than 700$.

Good ing grief.

I'm leaning in the PS3 direction, but purely from what I have read about it at this point.

What has everyone read about the PS3 version that I'm missing out on?
:conf:
Every single review I've read has said that the games are nearly identical, with the only slight edge going to the PS3 for graphics (which is fine if that's your cup of tea - I'd just rather have the DLC and achievements).
If anyone has actually read anything more than that, I'd appreciate links.

I would agree Halo is a bit dumbed down, but consoles are geared for the younger crowd, and also the computing power/Graphics is a tad less than PC...except for PS3, but not for long. You are limited to the amount of "hot keys" and controls or what not on a console vs a PC.

PS3 version seems to have less pop-in, and slightly shorter load times, mate. Plus it has the awesome option of turning the SixAxis's motion control on. By turning this option on, not only can you drive boats, cars and helicopters, but it also lets you reload your guns by flicking the controller in the air swiftly. How awesome is that?

That made me lol... especially on this forum. You're basically saying that whatever is more comercially successful is of higher quality.

Gears of War, COD 4, Bioshock, Orange Box (not to mention the rest of HL2), Crysis, UT3, and Far Cry 2 are all available on the PC.

To be honest, I don't think it's that awesome (certainly not awesome enough to lose DLC and achievements /opinion).
Is the load time issue from your own experience or did you read it in a review?

i dont see how that answers the question, in fact judging by the people in the video i think you have gone a few steps backwards from the pc pic guy
Yep, I was hoping someone would catch my stale 17th century sarcasm. :)

Dude, I've read every single preview and review out there. Believe me, I know what I'm talking about. Load times being shorter is logical, because the PS3 version requires a mandatory 3 GB install on the HD of the PS3.
But honestly, just go with the version your friends are buying as well, because of the multiplayer thingy.
