Now here is a question. Will sony PS3 play all the games smoothely as an 8800GTS sli. I know the scenario is different in each case but i m asking about the game play. Because there is a great price difference in them.

can we connect PS3 with the computer's LCD monitor.

Even with 3x 8800GT, you could never play Resistance, Haze, MGS4, Killzone 2 and GT5 on a PC.
 
If you are talking about games that are cross-platform the sli cards will play at a better frame-rate at higher resolutions with more eye candy thrown on.

And you can hook the ps3 to a computer LCD monitor as long as the monitor is HDCP compliant to play blu-ray back. I hooked my PS3 to my 2407wfp-hc through a hdmi to dvi cable.
 
If I were in your position, I'd probably get the PS3. Play games, no drivers, no hassle, just sit down and play. No worries about tweaking, no worries about getting the next best videocard etc.

Yeah strictly looking at either X360 or PS3's GPU, they're both totally outmatched by only an 8800GTS 320mb. But you have to account for the dedicated platform. It seems like console programmers get so much more out of the hardware.

I can't think of many PC games with the flair and wow factor of games like Heavenly Sword or Ratchet and Clank Future. Playing Uncharted is simply one of the best graphics experiences I've had on any platform. I can't wait to play Gran Turismo 5. The cars have 200,000+ poly models. It will run at 1080P 60fps. :eek:

A console gives you more value for the dollar than high end SLI rigs. It will still have new relevant amazing games three, four, even five years from now. The sad truth is SLI 8800s will be totally mediocre in 2 years. And practically useless for PC gaming in three.

They both have their advantages and disadvantages, but if it's one or the other, a PS3 will give you a lot more fun and enjoyment over its lifespan.
 
i've been pc player for very long time and i just bought ps3 it's more relaxing put the boot play turn off no lag no settings no frame rate issues with some hardware and the pc is going to always need more not because the games need more cuz developers make them need more so that ati,nvidia get u to throw away ur 3 months old vga and buy the new one my advise skip the vga and get ur self a piece of mind

Obviously due to the fact they aren't made for the PC and aren't cross platform. I hightly doubt 3x 8800GT could not run those games.

Hard choose, its up to what you like / love to do.

Man, run on sentences...... punctuation!

If you were a long time pc gamer, you would A. know how to decrease your issues, B. realize that boot times are shorter on PC, C. buy decent hardware and understand your limits. Why do you think you have to get a new console every 4-6 years or why software isn't made for a certain console anymore?

I can't find any PC race sim that looks as good and as fun as the Grand Turismo series. GTR2 is close but not there yet.
