    There anybody else that is extremely impressed with this?
    Could be ditching the old PC when the PS3 comes out!

    PS3+ HDTV required to give you those nice graphics=the price of 2 PCs that will be able to do the same by the time the PS3 is released.

    I already have a 55in HDTV, but for many, thats still not an option for just a gaming system.

    I'm impressed, but I don't have HDTV. I am sure I will before too long. I'm sure I'll have the PS3 before the HDTV though. :)

    Most people will probably already have a HDTV by the time ps3 is released and the graphics will still be amazing on a standard TV.

    The ps3 is rumoured to be around $399 maybe less,

    if you can find me a PC for $200 that will be match the graphics of a ps3 on an ordinary TV (now or in 6 months) then I will be very very impressed! :p

    There is also going to be a bluetooth keyboard and mouse that comes with the ps3 aswell as the ordinary controller.

    Also, today's TV runs at the equivalent of 640x480.

    Show many any 300-400 dollar PC that can't do that.

    I mean, why compare a 200 dollar PC when the PS3 is probably gonna debut at 399? Note I originally said the price of HDTV+PS3? That does not mean a 200 dollar PC.

    As for most people having an HDTV by the time the PS3 is out...very, very slim chances.

    I don't really PC game (other than CS 1.6 which is extremely old) and don't plan on upgrading my computer just for games so I will be purchasing a PS3 and will hopefully have a 42" Plasma come April, whenver the new Panny's are released...

    My PC already does everything I need it to do in the non-gaming department so I can't justify buying a new one for gaming...

    I am comparing a $200 PC because you said that the price of 2 pc's will be able to do the same by the time the ps3 is released! ps3 debuting at $400, $400/2 = $200! :p

    Im not meaning to be argumentitive but I just think that a PS3 will be great value for money when it comes out, and I dont think it is neccessary to spend $8000 dollars on a hdtv to enjoy a ps3!

    To buy a PC to run the same graphics as a PS3 on a normal TV would cost a lot more than $400! Or do you disagree?

    Ah, but I said, PS3+HDTV which doesn't = 400.00.

    I think it will be very nice, don't get me wrong. But to surpass the PC...you know, its not like the PC isn't always advancing. I think thats far fetched. Consoles make this claim every time a new one comes out. Each time, they fail to succeed.

    I guess we will see!

    Ps3 will be good, but good compared to other consoles. I do not know all the specs for it, but if pc's are not ahead of it now, by the time it comes out it will be eating dust.

    Ok, sorry i'll have to read your posts more carefully next time!

    If I could afford it I would go with the best PC everytime, but I earn a cool $7000 a year so a high end PC is out of my range!

    You have a 55" hdtv? COOL, I wish I had a normal TV that big!

    i'm pretty sure I read that the PS3 is going to support 1080 P, which will be the next HDTV standard... I'm going to wait to buy a TV that supports that.

    Edit:

    Found the link...

    No way I'll buy another HDTV for 1080p though. 1080i is sufficient as is for me.

    Yeah I wouldn't recommend buying one just for that but I don't already own an HD compatible TV so I figure I'll wait a little to get one that offers the latest technology in resolution...
