but you are only getting the graphics card for 200$
for 300$ + sub you get a complete package
much more appealing for the mass market |

1. The always on thing is a rumor 2. Silver is free, and gold is always an option. 3. You can't run a system on a graphics card alone. For an 200$ card, you would need at least an FX 63xx or an i3 to not bottleneck that card(both around 140$ give or take for the FX) You would also need an 80-120$ motherboard a good $50 PSU some 30$ 8 gig ram 100$ operating machine (dont say linux or I will just literally laugh at you) a case, 30-100$
and that alone pits you above the cost of the next gen consoles if they are even remotely priced competitively |

@coolmanownz >not even talking about the always online thing >gold is required to play online, silver does literally, LITERALLY nothing (can you even download dlc with it?) >implying that most people dont already have a pc and wont just need to upgrade their gpu cpu and ram at most |

buying a pc comparable to next gen systems would be pretty expensive
consoles are HEAVILY optimized and so future proof for a very long time
a good example would be beyond: two souls, it is one of the best looking games i have ever saw and only on PS3 |

who said i dont have a good gaming pc? i do.
stop being a pc elitist, it will get you nowhere
@cool XBL Gold is overpriced and 100% not worth it when you compare it to what Nintendo and more so what Sony offers with PS Plus and PSN |

okay let me make a list of parts that you can use to create a PC that runs as well as the next gen consoles, 5 minutes
you also buy a PC because of it's functionality |

| If you can get past the 1156 socket, ddr2 ram, low maximum RAM ceiling, low maximum power to the CPU, locked multipliers, custom form factor motherboards standoffs and PSU mounts, then you have a jolly old time upgrading an OEM computer |
