    a computer is a better investment.
    ps3 < computer
    you will probably be the coolest kid at school if you get a ps3 but you can only do some things on it.
    the computer is a multipurpose tool.
    think about it.

    ps3 will suck.....No renting games, ugly controller..

    I reccomend a mac :P I'm on one, but make sure you will use programs that run on OSX, and not too much on windows.. It's a bitch to switch back and forth.

    computer, not even sure how this is even a question tbh. Computer is in a whole nother league from ps3, and if you absolutly need a console get a Wii.

    imo anyway

    I again say go w/ a mac. Mac's are way better. The reason OSX isn't run on more pc's is because it's so expensive. They run different than Pcs too so that kinda confuses people. I know a public school that only uses Macs. Mac's get my vote.

    You can get great computer for 1300.

    Ibuypower has great specials. Don't splurge on keyboard, mouse, monitor, and speakers. , and get core 2 duo processor, 2 gig Ram, Asus Motherboard, Nvidia GeForce 6300 GT vid card.

    Leftover money use to upgrade those uneeded things

    buy a comp because if you didnt already reserve a ps3 your not gonna get one when it comes out. Its sold out every where I live and most stores or all of them only get 10-15 ps3's

    you can either get a PS3 and no games the day it is out for 2000$ or a decent computer for 2000$

    http://search.ebay.com/ps3


    technically macs are PCs, they nwo runn on the same hardware. They really aren't any mroe expensive, and if I wanted to i could pirate OSX and run it on my PC.


    as for the MAC vs. PC debate, here is my outlook.
    Apple uses decent quality hardware. nothing great. but good enough.
    you pay 500$ for their operating system alone though and that is on the whole bull----. The number one complaint against windows is security. pop in youre windows cd every other month and reinstall windows over the 3 year life span of the system you'de spend maybe 10 hours doing this(or less if you're efficient) - persoanlly i consider my time to be worth 50$ an hour... and then on top of it you have a much greater level of software and hardware support.

    something which i say time and time again

    just because you have money doesn't mean you need to spend it.

    I have a ---- graphics card in my PC and I want a new one like hell but i can't really justify it at this moment, I have nearly 4000$ in the bank saved up from my job. You dont' get money in the bank by wasting it.

    pretty toys are nie, but they dont' really make you anyhappier in the long run. Remember when the PS2 was first released?m everyone wanted one. After you got one, it became no big deal and noone cared. It will always be like that, there will always be a bigger and better next thing out and marketting aims at people who act under the proletarian train of though - WHAT CAN I GET NOW. Too many people live in the now sense. Unless you plan on dying soon I'd advise you to think twice about anything which will drain both money and time boh of which are limited in out lives.
