Alright, I figured this question would fit best in this area.

I have 2 choices. a PS3 or PC. This is what they entail.

PS3: 2 controllers, 80 gig HD, 3 games, probably split the hard drive and use with Linux

PC: $500 computer, $100 video card, Dual core, 1 gig of RAM, Basically plays anything out now and for the next while.

Thoughts?

Well its really weather you want to play ps3 games or pc games but if you choose the pc i would try getting another gig of ram in it then your prolly set for a long time.

If i had to choose i prolly go with the ps3 since i would rather play ps3 games then pc games

Depends on the kind of games you go for. PC is fairly exclusive in RTSes and most western RPGs, and is also where most of the FPSes go. PS3 you'd get the genres you'd expect on a console.

You want our opinions?

I'd be all over the PC.
There's so much more that can be done with a PC.
Holy crap I forgot.
PC Has way more applications and Games that are so kickass.
It has good graphics though.
Judge somthing by its heart, not by looks. Specific Enough.

Thanks for the opinions, its really helped.

I think I'm leaning towards the PS3, I like the games for it a bit more. Also, any game I could think of is either out for Linux and/or Ps3 as well or will be.

I agree more mem for PC & go with a Quad Core if you can. Whenever I buy a PC I always go with the maximum I can afford. Remember, 'The PC can be what you want it to be and is only limited by your imagination'. A PS3 is solely for games.

Go with a PS3 if there is something in particular you are looking for, Little Big Planet, MGS4, Valkyria Chronicles, Drake, Killzone 2 etc.. Whatever tickles your fancy.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
