Built from the ground up my computer costs 1800$ and its true that the diffrence between the appearence of the consle version of these games is very little , seeing how I run cryisis on very high settings without lag and it looks beautiful and I know that it is not something my 360 could never handle. Id have to blame the game for these images. I find a game has to be completly PC exclusive for someone to appreciate a good PC systems performance like the total war games for example. Or at least like the upcoming Doom4 where consle graphics will be completly outmatched by the PC as mentioned by the people making it. You gotta remeber the amount of work and money it takes to make three diffrent versions of a game how could you expect them to actually use the full potential of the PC with the 360 and Ps3 in mind. And yeah if you want to outmatch a consle its probably not too much expensnsive but seriously why would you even do that the diffrence proably would not be very much.If you ever get bored of the consle games looking all the same and never getting better like I have then go big in the system and do your research. And if you got no money flow, then you may as well stick with your consle and ignore the PC all togather, and if you do just put a little bit aside and over good long while of spending the way you normally do with that little bit aside, combined with the economic resecession and new better systems coming out you could have an incredible system in time and settle with it. And im just gonna say you never really relize all the things not good about consle graphics until youve played a really good PC system, but you want a car before a PC any day..and never buy a really good car at the start cause no matter who you are you going to mess it up some way. Just a little off topic for good of the people in here.
