Image from Killzone2, gamespot has a movie that you really have to see. It looks pretty amazing.

PC will always be a step ahead, but I don't see what we really need beyond this graphically.

I agree frag. But when you can buy a Consol for £150-£200 and get graphics that good is it really worth paying £1000+ for an up to date PC?

if you ask me, i was happy with my mega-drive graphics, and then with my playstation graphics, and then with my ps2 graphics, i don't get this drive for better graphics when we can already portray everything quite accurately.
thanks,

Flightsims will never have any depth on consoles so it's PC all the way for us prop-heads.

It isn't the most important thing but I like to be awed, look at resident evil 4. These amazing graphics are part of the atmosphere, it just looks real at times. And the ps3 will be backward compatible, so you can still play your ps1 and ps2 titles. If they don't try to sell it for the rediculous amount of money they asked for the ps2, I am so getting it. Twice the raw power of the xbox360, it will be amazing.

If you only use your PC for games, this is true, however I think it will be a long time before consoles catch up the versatility of a PC, and while there is a PC market, there will be PC games. Part of the ease of programming consoles (and thus the lower cost) comes from the fact that they are only programmed to do one thing. Play games. Start trying to bring them up to the versatility of a PC and I'd guess teh cost would begin to rise to the same level.

Oh, and that they can get away with low end components (relatively) because they have to contend with low resolutions. As TVs increase in quality they are starting to lose this advantage as well.
