    "Regarding online play"

    Pc is good because you get better accuracy because of the mouse and you generally have more options to chose regarding severs etc.

    But the problem is your computer can be a downfall in your gaming eg.LAGGGGG lol

    Ps3 and the ...xboxs on the otherhand are premade with the best hardware for the games and lagg depending on your internet connection and although there are, there is not as many hackers

    But ain't trying to start a discussion.

    I'd go PS3 only because I don't have a Wii or xbox therefore can't properly say =P

    pc all the way, you can build a good gaming platform for the cost of a ps3, and it's upgradable.
    still use a modded original xbox, but only as a media device. i'm considering a 360, but can't afford/justify it ATM. hardware issues are a concern and they're not as modable ATM.
    and sorry, wouldn't touch a ps3 with a 10ft clown pole. too expensive, no games that interest me. and no sony, i don't want to buy all my media again on blue ray, spesh because the tv i have isn't rad enough to make a difference in resolution.

    PC FTW. consoles come and go, but the PC has been around to see every console.
    - use a mouse/keyboard for FPS games
    - plug in my gamepad for other games, i have my steering wheel for racing games
    - output the video to a TV if i want
    - deal with network issues a lot easier than any console
    - modify my games a lot easier than any console
    - the largest selection of games
    - easy to switch between games/internet/work without having to turn on multiple machines
    - much better hardware
    - easily upgradable
    - can fix issues myself, without worrying about warranties, or sending shit to microsoft/sony

    thats normally a network issue, not computer. can happen to any console too

    For online gaming, 360. Nothing beats it!

    PC cannot be beaten.

    However when it comes to consoles, 360. The PS3 is a peice of garbage when it comes to online play compared to the Xbox, everyone rants and raves that XBox LIVE costs like 20 cents a day, but its worth every cent if youve ever played PSN. PS3 is a sinking ship.

    not really, since PS3s and 360s are just PCs with less features

    PC all the way..

    Cant work while playing on a 360 or PS3 at the same time.

    When there's an upgrade I buy a graphics card,, u buy a whole new console, controllers, batteries, etc.

    I download a game, you have to get a chip or some other kind of loader.

    Can't play the console while the wife watches TV.

    ok, well you say what is best for only gaming? in that case, im going to assume budget means nothing, so i will just go out and buy the latest and greatest pc parts and have a gaming computer that absolutely shits all over any console. even better, ill spend heaps on a laptop built for games, and have a portable system thats even smaller and more powerful than a 360 or ps3. with a gaming library consisting of every game ever released on PC.

    Thats the problems with these types of threads, theres too many variables to get any sort of real comparison, which is why i suggested it be deleted to start with.
