Graphics wise PC wins. You have both top of the line ATI and Nvidia cards that destroy anything the 360 or the ps3 can put out to a screen.

graphics-wise, and functionality-wise, PC all the way, not to mention "wasd" and mouse is the best way to play, hands down(and i have tried using the 360 controller to play DiRT on my pc, and it is just not a good way to play; it made me lose on rookie(by crashing into too many trees) as opposed to winning on PRO :roll: )

PC FTW!!!!! :supz:

Most console owners say "consoles are soooo much cheaper than gaming computers." I am just about 100% sure that each of those console owners has their own PC also for email and such. It would be much cheaper for them to just combine the console and PC into one gaming PC and be better off.

Yeah that's my point, it's way cheaper to convert your PC to game. But there are certain games on consoles that don't really work on PC or aren't available at all, things like MGS4, Ninja Gaiden 2, and the upcoming God of War 3 or the next Final Fantasy game.

they do have games that allow you to use the ps3 kb and mouse but they usually have a built in delay as to not give you an unfair advantage in online play

Wow! I recently (within the last couple months) thought about how cool it would be to have a mouse with a Wii nunchuck sort of deal with a joystick attached, and here it is!
