and PC

This is why I'm not buying a PS3. $600, and all good games will have "and PC" next to them, as the companies know it nets them more money.

ok

the same should be said about the 360 too also for you to play some of this games on the pc you need to upgrade your unit so it all depends on what type of gamer you are, either you like consoles or pc games. but those screens resemble crysis on the pc

LOL You're funny. Trying to diss the PS3 for costing $600 when people can play the game on their PC. I'd like to see you build a PC for $600 that could play this game as good as those pics show. You can't. The version made for PS3 is made for PS3. They know how much ram, video card performance, and CPU speed the PS3 has. The PC version, along with all PC games, aren't made knowing that because the developers aren't psychic. They have to either drop quality so a lot of computers can play it or they increase the quality a crapload so the quality is really good but requires very powerful components. Every ounce of the PS3 is known to the developers so they can utilize as much of it as they can to help them. Look at the Xbox180. Far Cry for it looks good and the Xbox180, in computer specs, is similiar to almost a 7-8 year old computer. But then I guess you weren't really looking for an intelligent conversation... Just wanted to say something to bash the PS3 like everyone else... :(
