    Before people start a flame war, I don't want anyone to post about which is better etc. I just was interested to see what split there is between the users of Boards. Are we predominatly PC gamers, is XBox live taking most of our money, or what about PS3 numbers???

    Have both the xbox and PS3, got the PS two weeks ago. Like the PS controller more. Although I had a ps and ps2 so thats probably why im better with it. I miss the triggers on the xbox thou :-(

    Im ps3 all the way. I assume all those 3rd person youtube movies come from the PC version, that does look like fun.

    PS3.

    XBox360. My little bro has played on the PS3 and by the sounds of it he may prefer the controller set-up for that.

    XBox 360 here, Feeding Microsoft €60 a year.
    I prefer the PS3 controller but its alien without my triggers :)
    Actually bought attachments for the Ps controller to make it feel better.
    Most of my mates have the PS3 so I might switch over after the leaving.

    Wow, not one person said PC, personally I don't own an Xbox or PS3 because I play FPS games and there is nothing better than a PC for that, so for that reason I have a kickass PC to play with :)

    Xbox 360. I don't know how anyone can play a shooter using the Playstation controllers. The PC probably has the best controls of the lot though.

    Did you's not read the OP?

    Xbox, why? Because I don't have a PS3 and I fail with a keyboard and mouse.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 510 ✭✭✭gino85


    PC because i prefere K&M over a controller


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 350 ✭✭Peteemax


    xbox for me

    Interesting split so far. I was shocked that after an hour the feedback was hugely slanted towards PS3, but I see now that it's even between the two consoles with the PC still holding some ground.

    Not surprising really when you consider that a machine to play this game at the top settings can cost upwards of €1,500 I'm guessing, whereas you can get the consoles for so much cheaper.

    Glad to see it hasn't turned into a flame war either. much. ;)

    Huh? I'll build you a machine that'll play it at max settings for half that money..

    Fair enough. It's been about 4 years since I built a PC so I'm probably out of touch with all the costings. But I found that if you wanted top spec and reasonable future proofing you needed to shell out over a four figure sum.

    Then again, that price you can do is still double what either console costs. Which is a lot of games in the difference. But then again, I didn't really want to get into a XvPCvPS discussion, and here's me bringing it off topic! :rolleyes:

    If you can make me a top end gaming machine for 750 I'll send you the money now! I built my own PC for around 700 excluding monitor and gfx, I've since upgraded to a GTX280 and still not perfect on max res. So I can understand why people buy consoles. However I'll spend 1500 on a PC way before buying a console for FPS games.
