Price comparison PS4 vs PC(way more powerful than PS4)

monitor argument is completely invalid. The above PC only cost £118 more, it get more use(not just games) it is way more powerful + 5 free games.

I am not trying to deceive anybody here, i just stating facts.

Fvcking this, I'm dreading upgrading for this next gen.

The consoles also aren't cheap either mind, Gaming is an expensive hobby.

Do you already have a decent PC? Might just need a GPU upgrade. That is one benefit of PC gaming, is you can reuse parts for a while.

Does the PC have MGS, UC, KZ, GOW, GT, TLOU, Infamous, LBP, R&C, FF, TO? No? That's the difference. I'm getting the best from both worlds, so this childish bickering doesn't affect me at all.

Yeah, I actually don't feel i even need to upgrade anytime soon with my Gtx 580 custom OC'd to around 920, 2200. i7 920 at 4.2 gigz and my 6gb ddr3 ram.

But that could change in a heartbeat.

@MK-Professor: "monitor argument" is not invalid. Stop being thick. You're not stating facts, you're stating a conclusion you came to based up on assumptions you made all while furthering the goal of all arguments made against you.

The PS4 doesn't have all of those either

You didnt include the cost of PSN over 8 years and more expensive games and less deals.

PC overall is FACTUALLY: cheaper, has better gfx/performance, more high rated games, more high rated exclusives, more genres, better online, actually has a competative scene, actually has mods, best version of nearly all multiplats, most controllers(SteamController, PS4, PS3, X360, XONE), has streaming to any tv or device to your house, etc. ....got damn.

Wow, lets play all those cools games.... o wait, I have no monitor.

Dem first gen i7's. I remember the race to 4GHz very well.

@Szminsky: There are MGS and FF games for the PC. Most of those you listed aren't even on the PS4 lol

Agree.

PC gamers always boast about the superior PC graphics. They always forget to mention that you need an expensive video card to have the new games maxed out.

Got lucky with getting one with D0 stepping, it still works as great as the day I got it.

Probably don't now, maybe in the future since the 580 only has 1.5Gb VRAM

This is like including the price of a$1500 1080p tv for Consoles.

You're going to say "who doesn't have a 1080P TV"

I'm going to say..Who doesn't have a kb/m/monitor/headset/os (which is all cheaper than that tv)?

Ideally, I'd like to wait and see what AMD's new offerings are, Nvidia price/performance wise lately hasn't been all that impressive.

I see you can win any argument, and you resorting to insults, classic...

Kinda unrelated but how will that Watchdogs bundle work now?

The motherfucking OS is missing you filthy pirate. Or do you dare to claim ps4 comes without OS?

Add £69.77

What the hell is a Peasante?

Add $400 for one generation of PSN.

The 290X is currently below Titan level price for just above Titan level performance.

Wasdie is 100% right and you're 100% butthurt

I suggest you go play outside

I can't argue against somebody who is deliberately being ignorant and constantly moving the goals of the argument so that they can seems like they are winning.

Add $250 monitor, $20 keyboard (a good one, not dinky toys), a good $30-$50 gaming mouse, also you need $100 or more for good case fans and/or good heat sinks. OP went for a barebones shitty build that would burn the house down to run games on medium or higher.

I actually think I may really go AMD this time around and just keep my gtx 580 in the future for Physx.

But I'll wait a bit for the prices to go down I think. There's no rush in upgrading at the moment.

No, just no.

Add in the cost of a DS4 or Xbox Controller as well because lots of PC gamers use gamepads. I know I did when I was previously PC only.

I am sure that if I was calling you "thick" and "ignorant" I will be in trouble now.

Pretty much. It's funny to see peasants in denial here.

It's true that the initial investment of a PC is more expensive, but it is easily paid off by cheap games in the long run unlike consoles. Realistically, PC gaming is cheaper if you're a real gamer who buy a large amount of games.

Yes, stop your delusions that a PC can work without a monitor and you can use $5 fisher price keyboard to game decently. Benchmark temperatures on stock case fans, go ahead, especially with this shitty tower with abysmal airflow construction.

I'm a casual gamer. Keep flexing your e-peen over a gaming rig. It surely it not anything to brag bout in real life.

THat's taking it a bit too far.

Conclusion:

The Aerocool Strike-X One isn’t going to be the next great PC tower because it doesn’t offer all the features that we are used to seeing in a case. The retails between $50 to $60 and you get that most worth of features. The case does offer numerous cooling possibilities but you will have to buy all the fans yourself as the case one comes with one rear mounted one.

why would anyone pick that piece of shit PS4 with barely games over a Gaming rig that happens to be more powerrful,better games and you can do more with it.

Monitor is not usually included in the price, unless you want to start including the price of a TV/monitor in cost of a PS4. But you can get a perfectly fine one for less than $200. You can get a perfectly fine keyboard/Mouse combo for $30 or less. And you do not need to spend $100 on fans

Not really it depnds on the game and resolutions. For example with BF3 maxed with 4XAA at 2560x1440 a GTX 780 is right between a standard 290x and uber 290x And the Titan beats the 290x uber by 6 fps . the with Crysis 3 same resolution and on high settings with FXAA again the GTX 780 is between the 290x's while the Titan has a slight edge of a few fps. The only reason why the 290x performs overall better then 780 and titan with certain games is its memory buffer size and bus width.

Also should note that Nvidia has done a price cut on 770's and 780's dropping their prices over $100

Because not every one cares about the same things you do. I have no need for a desktop computer so it would be strictly a gaming machine.

My god that case is hideous.

TC should have included a bluetooth headset (some 100 buck) or 5.1 surround system to the console costs. It doesn´t come included. You can´t play without sound.

Plus at least 50 bucks for psn/xlive yearly subscription.

Perhaps, but good kb/m support is waning, some games straight up say to use a pad.

It has a big fat X on it, like all the cool kids have.

the only game that comes to mind is Dark Souls, and maybe sports/fighting games

I wouldn't want to play DMC on a keyboard, or the multi award winning Garshasp. Bastion maybe, racing games (you can't tether a button on kb).

You get a headset with both consoles and both consoles will output sound through a TV.

does the TV come with the Console?

Are you sure of that ? Headsets weren´t included into the basic bundles of PS3 and Xbox 360.

Yes they do, although the PS4 one looks laughable (it's an earbud with an in line mic). But the 360 came with a cheap headset

If you want to play it off that venue, you might as well buy a $200 Vita for offscreen play, no TV needed. But I will need to plump down $250 for a 1440p monitor.

No, however you are more likely to have access to a TV compared to a monitor.
