(If I got a graphics card, I wouldn't get anything less than the Geforce 8800 GTX 768 MB RAM). My current system has only AGP slots on my motherboard, so in other words I would probably spend close to $2,000 on a new pc which of course would be decked out with everything amazing. Anyways, I wanted to skip that for now...I've heard Vista isn't ready yet, and if I was going to upgrade it would be to get Vista Ultimate and also to play certain games. Sorry, I just don't see putting that much into a machine to play a game. Also I'm waiting for prices to drop. If I was going to upgrade my machine, I wouldn't have got a ps3...my thought is why not get something specifically made for gaming that also has the ability to have a usb or wireless mouse/keyboard attached to it. That is what this whole post is about, whether it's worth getting for the ps3 which will play it perfectly or the computer that probably won't play it as good. Anyone have any ideas as far as which one I should go for when it comes out? An opinion on which one is better or why? If I plug a keyboard/mouse into the ps3, won't it be just like playing on a computer only the tv will be the monitor? I love the ps3 controller don't get me wrong, but I love the mouse/keyboard combo for FPS games...and I can't imagine the controller being good for that.
That's just about the stupidest reasoning i've ever heard.

You say you either had to buy a ps3 with some 7800 equivalent POS OR a video card which is 2x as good (8800GTX)?? Tell me how that makes sense. You could have upgraded you pc to a Core 2, a better gpu than the ps3, ddr2 ram, and of course a new mobo all for under $500.

But if you're happy with your ps3, who am I to judge?

To be honest, the mod could be ported to the ps3/360. Since the source engine was ported, and since it uses a slightly different bsp format for map use (not sure about models or textures.) so you'd need a different custom compiler, and the mod would have to be on episode 2's version of the source engine. Also you'd prolly have to have a cracked 360/PS3 to use the mod, but it's possible!

Yeah that's the only problem
and that you won't be able to play with PC users so you have better luck just using the ps3 controller on the pc tehe.

lol a system ? thats not a system you cant do shit with it except what microsoft / sony wants you to ... now a pc is a system in which you can do things on other then what 'microsoft' wants you to even though they make windows, btw a 500$ video card will toast your console for years to come, and when its not toasting it you add another video card in sli mode or buy a new card , and dont lose all your games that you spent crazy amounts on... lol besides nobody that knows what there doing actually seriously plays fps on consoles , no mouse ! sure if your buddies all want to divide the tv and know where everybody is at all times its great fun, not serious though, and of course single player.. lol

I played with an FX 5200 for a while in Source, ran fine. Strangely enough, I upgraded to a 7800 GS and get the same fps, I just get to run with higher settings =D.

PC games rule all consoles...keyboard and mouse FTW!!

Joysticks on an FPS game is like driving a car with your hands tied behind your back.
