I was wondering what 1080p looks like running out of a pc. I’m picking a screen up, but just curious because I can’t wait. ---

Did anybody put a ps3 on reserve??? Well if you did just sell it on ebay. Make triple it’s value. Or did they put a cap on it? ---

> [@Itagaki](#): > > For your interests they suck… but there are some aspects of console gaming that can outweight a PC gaming rig. There are only two I can think of. One is software availability, and the other is portability… you can connect a gamepad to a pc just like a console (then again, gamepads themselves are a leading cause of console suckage. Joysticks 4L.). Besides, with emulators you can play the small handful of interesting console titles on the PC anyway. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen my MAME setup in action (not talking about the dedicated cabinet) but it is \>\>\> any console. 2000+ arcade games with a real controller setup. It will be back once the new machine is running. ---
