Getting BF3 on consoles is like getting Skyrim on consoles....bleh.

It is like that you cannot play Skyrim on pc with "Onkyo 7.1 setup while sitting on your couch in your living room" and at the same time enjoying better graphics, gameplay and mods that consoles cannot have.

I'm not a PC gamer, but Battlefield 3 might be the first PC game I'll ever buy. I have Bad Company 2 on a console, but after hearing how the PC version of BF3 will support 64 players, I'm pretty hyped. However, I do not know anything about online gaming on PC. I don't even know how to mod games and such, and I've never used a mouse and keyboard for an FPS before, so we'll see.

Getting PC version.

Going to get it for the 360 1st so I can play with firends, and if I like the game I will get it for the PC when I see it on sale. I remember getting BC2 like 3 months after it came out for only $25.

I won't get it period. I will never buy a fps full price ever again, single player is too short and don't get care about online multiplayer. when I see it for 10$ i might get it for the ps3

PC. I feel bad for those getting it consoles. Doesn't look as good or play as good and PC gets 64 players and larger maps.

Don't feel bad, we still get to play the game :D

No "Both" or "Neither" options?

Neither.

Personally, on console. Both versions will be great regardless of differences.

Well your 8800 and dual core is not gonna cut it for BF3. So unless you plan on upgrading, get the console version. Youll still get better graphics and performance with your setup but 30 fps on a mouse and keyboard is a world of difference compared to 30 fps on a gamepad.USBxDVD

The 8800gt is 3-4 times more powerful than a console.

If that couldn't cut it then consoles wouldn't have a chance in hell of running it at all.

Most likely an 8800gt can play on a mix of medium to high if you keep the resolution at 1680x1050 or below.

Consoles will run it at the bare minimumand 1280x720 or below.

Maybe in theoretical performance, however in real world performance, that's not really the case.

Nope it's pretty much the case.

Although it's hard to prove since console games usually have very specific settings.

x4 times the power of consoles from a mid range GPU that came out 1 year after them. Just think about that for a second.. there's no way that is possible.

Either PC or PS3. I still a have not made my final decision.

It's between 3-4 times as powerful.

The highest end GPU before the Xbox 360 was released was the 7800gtx.

The 7800gtx is still a bit more powerful than either console.

The PS3 has a gimped 7800gt which was more between a 7600gt and 7800gt and the Xbox 360 had a slightly more powerful GPU.

Two 7800gtx cards couldn't even come close to an 8800gtx when compared and the 8800gt is only slightly weaker.

The 8800gt is probably on average a little more than 3x as powerful.

The jump from the 7800 series to the 8800 series was a big performance leap with a whole new architecture.

neither, way better games coming out.. i'm more pumped for dbz ultimate tenkaichi

Chris_Williams

dbz games have sucked since the days of the ps2.. their over the top over complicated fighting games with their only variantion over other fighting games being the ability to power up your character and the ability to fly.. neither of which make the game any more fun then say generic fighting games no.20776

go play some street fighter 4 and then tell me theres a better DBZ game than it.. novelties and cheap tricks dont make a game "good" only slightly less boring to play.

If you need any proof about the power of an 8800 here is a benchmark comparing 2x 7950gx2 (quad sli) vs one 8800gtx.

The 8800gtx wins on all counts by quite a bit.

explain why some of you are saying it's not worth getting at all.

true pc's do have their draw backs...price primarily...and i give props for not saying 3000usd+ i personally think 600-1200 is reasonable for a pc...especially since i do most of my work from one...the only reason im not a big fan of the console version is cause they are droppin the max player number...not that big of a deal on rush...but conquest is gonna be kinda empty

Either PC or PS3. I still a have not made my final decision.

xOMGITSJASONx

I usally get multiplayer FPS on my ps3 to play with my friends but i always get battlefield for the pc.

[QUOTE="Chris_Williams"][QUOTE="millerlight89"] You say way better games and follow it up with a DBZ game, you so funny :PionusX

PC but I'll probably wait awhile

PC, almost ready for when it comes out. Have a HD6950 on its way8)

PC fo sho. Just ordered my new case and HD6970.

I might as well add another reason why to get it for my PC: My 2nd GTX 460 is coming for SLI.

getting it for both for multiple reasons

Gonna save up for a really sick build. So I wont have BF3 by the time it comes out so im half tempted to get it on a console until I complete my pc. but man on man its pc all the way
