    A PC.

    Unless there's a game for the PS3 exclusively that you really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really...
    want to play.

    In which case, you still get a PC, play a bunch of games on it, watch videos, listen to music, maybe do something educational or something, I dunno...and wait for the PS3 to drop in price.
    Which shouldn't take that long.

    This has to be the question with the most obvious answer of all time.

    Mm i was thinking PC, but thought maybe the PS3 must be reely good or something, seeing as how many people bought them at $999 (AU

    Definitely PC. The PS3's only got a small number of good games for it, and emulation problems for the older games. You could get way more out of a PC that costs as much as a PS3 than you could a PS3.
    As I was walking down the stair,
    I met a man who wasn't there.
    He wasn't there again today.
    I wish, I wish he'd go away.

    PC without a doubt. Even in the future, when lots of great (wonder if they're going to be exclusive ) games have been released for the PS3, a PC should always take higher priority in my eyes. Think of all the stuff you can do on a PC. No matter what they say, the PS3 is a gaming system with other features added, while a PC is.. something completely different where you can do pretty much anything. In addition to play games (sure, games are better on consoles, I hate PC games myself) you can produce video, write stuff for work/school, listen to music, make music yourself, chat with your friends, watch any image/video format with free software, write on EP ()..

    The stuff in my post is a matter of opinion.

    You could install linux on a ps3 and a Playstation3 thats also a $600 computer running linux.

    Though You are probably better off with a pc in the first place

    A PC will provide something a bit different for you, so it gets my vote. You're pretty much all set on the console front for now with your Wii and X-Box 360.

    Id say your better off getting a ps3, for a few reasons; First off all youd be getting a blu ray player for cheap, for 700 dollars you will not be able to get a top of the line pc and last but not least people would think your the COOLEST if you have a ps3
    edit- its a sign of the times, im the only one going for the ps3

    I just bought a top of the line PC for a little over $700: an Athlon 64 X2 4600+, 2 GB RAM, w/ GeForce 6150 LE

    I didn't get a monitor, speakers, etc. because I already had those.

    the The 6150LE isnt exactly what i would call top of the line, Im not going to say that I have anything much better but if you comapare the gfx that card is going to be able to put out compared to the graphics that the ps3 will put out there is no comparison ps3 would slaughter it. But on the flip side 700 bucks isnt to bad for the specs you described.

    There's fuck all worth buying on the PS3 at the moment, though. The five-star titles will start trickling out by the end of the year but in the meantime there's not much reason to buy one for the asking price.
