CNTB That seems like a fair price for the new consoles... Can't wait for the xbox 720.

Agility I am not buying it for $400 that is not worth it at all , all microsoft and sony is are money hoardeers

I see you're 15 years old. I'm guessing your mommy and daddy aren't willing to spend $400 on a console? Then go out and get a job. If you get a job next week you'll surely have $400 by the time the next gen consoles come out. When the xbox 360 first came out the core version was $300 and the premium was $400. The PS3 was $600. So I don't see how $400 is unreasonable.

$400 is unreasonable because you can build a PC for that price that will run pretty much any game, and jtlyk I have a job, yet I don't have that kind of money to just throw out the window.

You will need to drop atleast $1000 on a PC if you want to run the lastest games at the highest settings. $400 will make you a shitty PC with that can barely run the lastest games on the lowest settings. My brothers 7850 was $200 something, and his 3750k was $230 I think. That's already $430, and you still need a hard drive, RAM, motherboard, psu, case, and for some an operating system. My parents bought my brother and I the $400 xbox 6 years ago for Christmas and it still works, and when I go back home I still play it. So I don't know how that's throwing money out the window.

Well i've done it :/ my PC cost just over 400 and I can run any game I want on some of the Highest settings. Your brother clearly doesn't know what he is doing when it comes to buying his parts and I also have an xbox, games on there cost an upwards of 40 whereas on the PC they cost significantly less the games also run alot smoother and have nicer communities in general than on Xbox.

What type of graphics card and cpu do you have? By any game do you mean runescape and minecraft? There are graphic cards like the GTX 680 that cost $500+. The people buying that must be pretty damn stupid and not know anything about computers. Because while they're spending $500 on a graphics card, you can spend $400 on a case, psu, cpu, hard drive, ram, graphics card, and motherboard that can outperform their system.

DeadlyDasher, you can build a computer between $400-$500 that will outperform pretty much any new console, as long as you don't buy the parts from your local store that cost twice as much. It might not last as long (Newer hardware will be released sooner, if it's not already out of date) but it'll still be better than a console.

The amount of games that I have played on console that have rubbish frame rates is terrible, it's not worth it.

But all console games are optimized for the console, no upgrading over the years needed. My computer built back in 2009? or something was already outdated in 2011 and I spent $300. This isn't about console graphics vs pc graphics directly. A console will run a console game at the highest settings. A $400 PC won't run any graphic demanding game on the highest setting. You will now say "But a console won't either" to which I will say "It's a PC game, not a console game."

A decent $400 computer will run most, most games on high detail settings if you purchase the right parts. Why spend $400 on a console that can never really be upgraded, and you have no control over, that has games upwards of $100 or more?

And I'm aware you never have to upgrade the console, but they never really up the games either, obviously.

Even if you start with a $400 computer, you can at least upgrade it on the cheap as time progresses.

No, for $400 you can't build a computer that can run the most graphic depending games on the highest settings. Unless you already have the PSU,OS,Case,HDD,RAM,Motherboard, and the CPU. And idk where you're from but in the USA, games are only $60. I still play my old N64 from time to time because it's fun. Having fun > having good graphics imo. And most of everyone I know has a console and doesn't want to drop $800-$1000 for a good gaming PC. So since most of my friends, classmates, family, etc have consoles, I play that more than anything.

Over here in Australia, games have cost over $100 in the local store. Also, I'm not talking 'the most graphic depending games on the highest settings' but decent, reasonably high settings. And I totally agree that graphics aren't everything, I play plenty of older games, but seriously, spend around $400, get a decent build, upgrade it as time progresses, and do whatever the hell you want on it instead of just games.

400$ on highest quality? Can I get some of that what you've been smoking please

AR15 I won't be buying the 720 as long as they're still making Xbox 360s

I probably won't get the 720 right away, but I won't be waiting that long.
