I’m not going to pikachu a love song?
Your mom likes to balbasaur my dick?
wtf that this mean?
-
tiki fail
-
that’s exactly what I said.
good pokemon jokes should include the word CHARIZARD. and i don’t even know if that’s a real thing.
-
Charizard is definitely real. As is Blastoise. And neither of them appear here. Ergo Phail poke-puns are phail.
-
Yeah…this would make sense if I was a complete dork and followed the show or games at all.
-
If you knew the names at all it would be funny, don’t need to be a huge pokemon nerd really.
-
I think the first one is actually a raychu? something like that.
So it’s
“I’m not going to raychu (write you) a love song”
Second one, no idea. I think it’s name is suck.
-
The second one is Rhydon

I loved my Pokemon-themed Gameboy color. My parents got it for me as a Christmas gift. It had Pikachu, Togepi, and Jigglypuff on it. Hell yeah. I was stylin’ guy.
-
I’m 26 (soon to be 27 in a week) and I’ve been playing pokemon since it first came out. I didn’t become a whore to it and do the card game, but I did watch the show, but eventually lost interest. People in high school used to call me a fag for playing pokemon.
I really don’t know where this story is going, so…anyone want to trade some pokemons?
-
I’m 27, and I feel like Pokémon is one of those things I would have LOVED if I was just 1-2 years younger when it came out. As it is, I have all these friends younger than me who act like it’s one of the most amazing things to grace their lives.
Probably the only thing in my life I was I was born a little latter for (usually the opposite).

I still likey my evee! The wife wants a DS so I think the bug will get me again eventually.

Used to repair these. Actually had to take the apple tower down to the bare motherboard to remove that kilowatt power supply, sometimes even needing to remove the board. Apple definitely doesn’t want their users inside their machines.
-
Left side should also say “runs games”, making most of that hardware actually relevant.
-
As a gamer, I thank you.
-
Mac is getting Steam. Also, bootcamp.
-
A friend of my dad runs a computer recycling center and he came across one of those Apple 24” monitors, he gave it to me for free. When I plug it in and put it next to my other 24” monitor, I definitely prefer the apple one more.
Apple makes some nice, shiny, toys, but I could never justify spending that amount of money on them.
-
“macs; just for fags”
-
That silver apple is sure worth a lot.
-
macs are just for fancy ppl with money who only use such shyt for internet anyways, thats prolly why they are still in buisness
-
youre so insightful
-
Making this comparison is kind of pointless. People who buy Apple computers are aware of how much they are spending on their machines. They do it anyways because they want an Apple product.
I work in the entertainment industry as an animator. We animate on PCs, but all the editing, compositing, and graphic design are done on Macs. It really depends on what your needs are. I have always had Macs at home (6 since 1990), but I’m hardly a fanboy and I have nothing against PCs. I’d happily spend twice as much on my computer just to avoid a virus. I’ve never had one on any of my Macs, nor have I ever needed repairs or tuning of any sort.
I spent $3,000 on my 27″ iMac, and I’m quite happy with the purchase.
-
If you’re smart online you don’t really need to worry too much about a virus at all to be honest.
-
-
exactly. I’ve had my current PC almost 4 years without any virus protection. Never had trouble.
-
Fair enough. I was just being dramatic.
-
You spent $3,000 on a 27″ iMac, and you’re definitely a moron. definitely…
-
Not just a moron, a consumer whore too!
-
nice one. I think I wrote a pretty polite rebuttal to the image, and I think it’s funny you guys are inclined to be rude from the safety of your keyboards.
-
Well I could call you a consumer whore in person even if I risk that you hit me, but I don’t plan to waste money on plane tickets, cabs, and probably on medical bills.
So yes, keyboardin’ all the way.
To be civil, I’ll just say that regarding your monitor WIF KEWL GFX is not a necessary piece of hardware, just an extravagant (and overpriced one).
It’s not whether or not the thing operates like a $3000 product, it’s that you get the same functionality with less money involved. It’s just eye-candy with some people, and that’s like faith, you can’t argue against it.
-
at least when our keyboards need service (if ever) we won’t have to sent the whole pc back…
-
accidentally downvoted you dude, sorry.
even tho i have never had a virus give me any trouble on a PC.
-
s’all good
-
Where did the PC price come from? Because I just priced this out at Dell and got $4,353 and they didn’t even have dual 24″ monitors or 12GB RAM as an option.
www.imageleech.net/data/media/1/Screenshot.png
-
Probably newegg prices.
-
The only 8-core processors I could find on Newegg were AMD, so not from there.
-
they dont have macs either, maybe making them a bad call
-
Your mistake is here “Because I just priced this out at Dell…” Fuck Dell and other pre-built companies. Go with a custom build company, or better yet, build it yourself, and newegg FTW. To be added to the PC column, “can be built by end user” and “easily serviceable by end user”
-
So easy casemods can do it.
-
If I had a PC, I’d build it myself. I’ve helped friends put together their machines.
-
even if the cost is 5, or 6k, there’s still a difference of $1,000+. I refuse to pay $1,000 for a name and a logo.
-
add under the left side (some assembly required)
-
Even if you lacked the basic technical knowledge needed to put a PC together you could drop it into a store and the labour’s going to be max $200.
-
i’ve built 4 computers, so i dont have that problem
-
To be honest I wouldn’t want dual monitors. I’d just rather have one really big nice one.
-
Dual monitors can be extremely handy, i work as a designer and being able to have blueprints on one screen and a 3d design on the other saves so much time, I don’t want to be minimizing all the time
also games one screen, msn + itunes or a tv show on the other 
i don’t think I could go back to using one monitor
-
yeah when we animate in Maya, it’s nice to have one screen dedicated to your 3D viewports, and the other screen dedicated to hypergraph, curves, modeling tools, other windows.
-
I know I sure couldn’t. I hooked up 2 just for the sake of trying it because I had seen a friend do it. And man what a difference.
-
Dual Monitors rawk… A lot of things you can’t do with just a single huge monitor.
-
Aaaaand the point of getting either of these with such specs is…? Thanks, a run-of-the-mill desktop pc, laptop pc or Mac would serve my computer needs just fine at a much lower cost.
-
No, the mac would not serve your needs at a much lower cost. For instance, the cheapest iMac ($1,199.00), has about the same specs (a bit lower, actually) as the following non-Mac (I don’t say PC here because Macs are actually PCs too).

You left off an operating system. I realize that everyone here is probably ok with pirating, but if you’re going to compare apples to apple, you have to take that into account. Add in cost of putting it together (your time is worth money, unless you’re a moron) and the REAL price of the PC is easily $1100.
-
It can all be put together and have an OS loaded on it in about an hour and a half to two hours. And you are correct, I did leave off an operating system. As the newer Mac OSs are Unix-based, it may make sense to also use a Unix-based operating system. Ubuntu is a good choice, and at $0, it adds very little to the overall cost.
Or, if you prefer Windows, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders is $99.99, bringing the cost of components up to $784.90. That means that the difference between the Mac cost and the custom build cost is $414.10. So, if your time is worth $200/hour, then yes, I could see going with the low-end iMac.
-
Just about. As an estimate I’d say more like $50 per hour. For someone who doesn’t build PC’s all the time, it would take more like 8 hours, start to finish. And there you have it: if you make about low six-figures a year, its a better use of your time to get a Mac.
-
If your time is worth $50/h, including time that you are not at work (because who would waste annual leave on a PC build), then you would be making ~$1.5 Million per year. (Assuming that you do not earn money while sleeping ~8 hours a day)
I’ll stick to the “PC” thanks.
-
Just because somebody assigns a dollar value to their time doesn’t mean that they make that much money in that amount of time. It’s more of a way of determining things such as if it’s worth it to drive back to the grocery store to pick up $X worth of groceries you forgot, assuming the trip takes Y amount of time and uses Z amount of gas, or, in this case, is it worth it to buy less expensive hardware if you have to assemble it yourself.
-
8 hours?! When I was 11, I built my first computer in under 4 hours without really knowing what I was doing other than putting all these components together. Yes, that includes putting the standoffs in the case (hardest part for me, as it required squeezing them while sticking them in, a process for which, at that point, I didn’t quite have the necessary strength). Maybe installing an OS at that point took an hour, since I was installing Windows and the version I was using took a rather long time to install (maybe a bit over an hour).
Basically, you can’t screw up that much, as, for the most part, if something fits in a computer, it’s where it’s supposed to be.
Oh, also, I forgot a power supply. If you add a bit less than $100 (a high estimate for a low-end machine) for that, it brings the cost up to about $880, and the price difference between the mac and the not-mac to about $320. If it takes 5 hours to go from components to working computer (a somewhat high estimate), then your time would need to be worth $64/hour to make the mac the better option.
-
If you haven’t assembled a computer before, you would be surprised at how easy it is. All the parts really only fit together in certain ways. They’re built to be assembled by monkeys. The most difficult and time consuming part is making sure all the parts you order from newegg are compatible, and I’d bet there’s tech support there that would be more than willing to help.
PS Best buy techs are just a half step below the target monkey level, so take what they say with a grain of salt.
-
AMD CPU, everyone, run for your lives!
-
So to summarize: The prices are wrong and the PC fans have more time than money.
-
since when can a pc “become” a mac?
macs can “become” pcs, and still be macs because windows and windows software runs equally well on a mac, but i have never heard of a pc that successfully runs mac software, even under the best of circumstances…
-
i’ve successfully been running osx on a netbook for well over a year now.
additionally, when my mac pro tower kicks (that’s the shiny one on the right) i’ll probably build the one on the left and hackintosh that too.
i prefer the apple os, but i definitely agree that you’re paying an apple tax on hardware.
-
-
And here I thought this post would skyrocket like the moldy bible one from way back when…
-
You never know what will ignite an extreme post comments onslaught.
-
gimme some time to work my magic please…
-
This is clearly trollbait anti-Mac propaganda, but I’ll bite anyway.
I just brought up these specs on the Apple Store, and got a price of $7297, so I’d say the price they claim here is accurate, more or less. The only difference is the 2 TB hard drive rather than the 1.5 TB listed here.
The biggest discrepancy I can see is that it doesn’t list “upgradeable” under the Mac. Just checking the options on the Apple Store, I can see that I can still upgrade this model in the following ways:
2x 2.66 ghx quad-core processor —> 2x 2.93 ghx
12 GB RAM —> 32 GB RAM
add three more 2 TB internal hard drives
add two more NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 512 MB video cards, or get a Radeon HD 4870 512 MB
add an additional SuperDrive (although I have no idea why anyone would want to)
add a whole slew of various softwares, but I assume there are PC equivalents, so this is probably not a plus
It’s also important to note that the monitors are $899 each. I find it extremely difficult to believe that equivalent monitors are SO cheap elsewhere that you can get two and still come in at $2000 while buying the other hardware for the PC model.
Finally, this is all from the Apple Store. Who the hell buys from the Apple Store? Apple is notorious for inflating their prices and any Mac owner with a brain knows to buy from a third party dealer.
-
I think they were talking more upgrade it yourself after you get it.
-
“A Mac owner with a brain” is a contradiction in terms.
-
I can get a 24″ monitor for AUD$226. Might not be quite as pretty as the “Apple Cinema Display”, but given that “state side” computer parts are always cheaper than here in Aus, its less than US$210 at the current exchange rate, I suspect that you could quite easily get a pair of 24″ LCD monitors for ~US$400. That leaves $1600 for other parts, which seems feasible to me.
-
Hmmm, after another look at the specs for that AUD$226 24″ monitor, I’m kinda thinking of going home via the computer shop tomorrow.

This from a Mac friend (seriously, I don’t own one & am not qualified to judge):
“You’re paying double [for a Mac] not for the same components but for the fact that the components are zealously tested with that OS to provide performance far superior to what any Windows-based system can produce with the same hardware. 1Gb of system memory on a Mac is worth 2Gb to 4Gb on a Windows system. Same goes for the processor, the storage, the graphics and nearly anything else.”
-
But hey, thanks for the negs anyway, faggots.
Anyone want to attempt an actual rebuttal?
-
The Mac Pro uses a Xeon 5500 series CPU which is designed for a dual CPU board. The 2.66ghz quad core 5550 is $999 on newegg. Cost of CPU’s alone almost match the price of the PC.
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117182
The 2.66ghz quad core i7 W3520 is listed at $280 however this CPU (from what I have been able to find) can not be used in a dual cpu system.
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202&cm_re=i7-_-19-115-202-_-Product
So unless you can find a cheap Xeon you won’t be able to match the 8 cores/Dual CPU of the Mac Pro, with this PC at that price.
I’d love to see the detailed specs of the PC
-
May I just add, I love how the main defence of macs in this thread is “I’m too stupid and/or lazy to use a PC, so I’ll go for the next best thing”.
-
Just to clarify the reason why anyone would purchase the Mac as stated in the image. This is the industry standard for a majority of design and publishing firms. They are far more stable and consistent than a majority of the Windows based machines. The reason why one would get 12 to 32 gb of ram is to make working with 1 to 5+ gig files that much easier and faster. That type of machine has a purpose even though I wouldn’t mind seeing that purpose expanded beyond what it is, I WOULD NOT recommend this for an everyday run of the mill computer user.
Don’t get me wrong here, I have built 2 Windows machines and I own 3 different Mac’s. It ultimately comes down to your own personal preference as to what you enjoy using the most.

A friend of my dad runs a computer recycling center and he came across one of those Apple 24” monitors, he gave it to me for free. When I plug it in and put it next to my other 24” monitor, I definitely prefer the apple one more.
Apple makes some nice, shiny, toys, but I could never justify spending that amount of money on them. -
“macs; just for fags”
-
That silver apple is sure worth a lot.
-
macs are just for fancy ppl with money who only use such shyt for internet anyways, thats prolly why they are still in buisness
-
youre so insightful
-
-
Making this comparison is kind of pointless. People who buy Apple computers are aware of how much they are spending on their machines. They do it anyways because they want an Apple product.
I work in the entertainment industry as an animator. We animate on PCs, but all the editing, compositing, and graphic design are done on Macs. It really depends on what your needs are. I have always had Macs at home (6 since 1990), but I’m hardly a fanboy and I have nothing against PCs. I’d happily spend twice as much on my computer just to avoid a virus. I’ve never had one on any of my Macs, nor have I ever needed repairs or tuning of any sort.
I spent $3,000 on my 27″ iMac, and I’m quite happy with the purchase.
-
If you’re smart online you don’t really need to worry too much about a virus at all to be honest.
-
-
exactly. I’ve had my current PC almost 4 years without any virus protection. Never had trouble.
-
-
Fair enough. I was just being dramatic.
-
-
You spent $3,000 on a 27″ iMac, and you’re definitely a moron. definitely…
-
Not just a moron, a consumer whore too!
-
nice one. I think I wrote a pretty polite rebuttal to the image, and I think it’s funny you guys are inclined to be rude from the safety of your keyboards.
-
Well I could call you a consumer whore in person even if I risk that you hit me, but I don’t plan to waste money on plane tickets, cabs, and probably on medical bills.
So yes, keyboardin’ all the way.
To be civil, I’ll just say that regarding your monitor WIF KEWL GFX is not a necessary piece of hardware, just an extravagant (and overpriced one).
It’s not whether or not the thing operates like a $3000 product, it’s that you get the same functionality with less money involved. It’s just eye-candy with some people, and that’s like faith, you can’t argue against it.
-
at least when our keyboards need service (if ever) we won’t have to sent the whole pc back…
-

accidentally downvoted you dude, sorry.
even tho i have never had a virus give me any trouble on a PC.-

Where did the PC price come from? Because I just priced this out at Dell and got $4,353 and they didn’t even have dual 24″ monitors or 12GB RAM as an option.
www.imageleech.net/data/media/1/Screenshot.png-
Probably newegg prices.
-
The only 8-core processors I could find on Newegg were AMD, so not from there.
-
-
they dont have macs either, maybe making them a bad call
-
Your mistake is here “Because I just priced this out at Dell…” Fuck Dell and other pre-built companies. Go with a custom build company, or better yet, build it yourself, and newegg FTW. To be added to the PC column, “can be built by end user” and “easily serviceable by end user”
-
So easy casemods can do it.
-
If I had a PC, I’d build it myself. I’ve helped friends put together their machines.
-
-
even if the cost is 5, or 6k, there’s still a difference of $1,000+. I refuse to pay $1,000 for a name and a logo.
-
-
add under the left side (some assembly required)
-
Even if you lacked the basic technical knowledge needed to put a PC together you could drop it into a store and the labour’s going to be max $200.
-
i’ve built 4 computers, so i dont have that problem
-
-
-
To be honest I wouldn’t want dual monitors. I’d just rather have one really big nice one.
-
Dual monitors can be extremely handy, i work as a designer and being able to have blueprints on one screen and a 3d design on the other saves so much time, I don’t want to be minimizing all the time
also games one screen, msn + itunes or a tv show on the other
i don’t think I could go back to using one monitor
-
yeah when we animate in Maya, it’s nice to have one screen dedicated to your 3D viewports, and the other screen dedicated to hypergraph, curves, modeling tools, other windows.
-
I know I sure couldn’t. I hooked up 2 just for the sake of trying it because I had seen a friend do it. And man what a difference.
-
-
Dual Monitors rawk… A lot of things you can’t do with just a single huge monitor.
-
-
Aaaaand the point of getting either of these with such specs is…? Thanks, a run-of-the-mill desktop pc, laptop pc or Mac would serve my computer needs just fine at a much lower cost.
-
No, the mac would not serve your needs at a much lower cost. For instance, the cheapest iMac ($1,199.00), has about the same specs (a bit lower, actually) as the following non-Mac (I don’t say PC here because Macs are actually PCs too).

You left off an operating system. I realize that everyone here is probably ok with pirating, but if you’re going to compare apples to apple, you have to take that into account. Add in cost of putting it together (your time is worth money, unless you’re a moron) and the REAL price of the PC is easily $1100.
-
It can all be put together and have an OS loaded on it in about an hour and a half to two hours. And you are correct, I did leave off an operating system. As the newer Mac OSs are Unix-based, it may make sense to also use a Unix-based operating system. Ubuntu is a good choice, and at $0, it adds very little to the overall cost.
Or, if you prefer Windows, Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders is $99.99, bringing the cost of components up to $784.90. That means that the difference between the Mac cost and the custom build cost is $414.10. So, if your time is worth $200/hour, then yes, I could see going with the low-end iMac.-
Just about. As an estimate I’d say more like $50 per hour. For someone who doesn’t build PC’s all the time, it would take more like 8 hours, start to finish. And there you have it: if you make about low six-figures a year, its a better use of your time to get a Mac.
-
If your time is worth $50/h, including time that you are not at work (because who would waste annual leave on a PC build), then you would be making ~$1.5 Million per year. (Assuming that you do not earn money while sleeping ~8 hours a day)
I’ll stick to the “PC” thanks.
-
Just because somebody assigns a dollar value to their time doesn’t mean that they make that much money in that amount of time. It’s more of a way of determining things such as if it’s worth it to drive back to the grocery store to pick up $X worth of groceries you forgot, assuming the trip takes Y amount of time and uses Z amount of gas, or, in this case, is it worth it to buy less expensive hardware if you have to assemble it yourself.
-
8 hours?! When I was 11, I built my first computer in under 4 hours without really knowing what I was doing other than putting all these components together. Yes, that includes putting the standoffs in the case (hardest part for me, as it required squeezing them while sticking them in, a process for which, at that point, I didn’t quite have the necessary strength). Maybe installing an OS at that point took an hour, since I was installing Windows and the version I was using took a rather long time to install (maybe a bit over an hour).
Basically, you can’t screw up that much, as, for the most part, if something fits in a computer, it’s where it’s supposed to be.Oh, also, I forgot a power supply. If you add a bit less than $100 (a high estimate for a low-end machine) for that, it brings the cost up to about $880, and the price difference between the mac and the not-mac to about $320. If it takes 5 hours to go from components to working computer (a somewhat high estimate), then your time would need to be worth $64/hour to make the mac the better option.
-
If you haven’t assembled a computer before, you would be surprised at how easy it is. All the parts really only fit together in certain ways. They’re built to be assembled by monkeys. The most difficult and time consuming part is making sure all the parts you order from newegg are compatible, and I’d bet there’s tech support there that would be more than willing to help.
PS Best buy techs are just a half step below the target monkey level, so take what they say with a grain of salt.

So to summarize: The prices are wrong and the PC fans have more time than money.
-
since when can a pc “become” a mac?
macs can “become” pcs, and still be macs because windows and windows software runs equally well on a mac, but i have never heard of a pc that successfully runs mac software, even under the best of circumstances…
-
i’ve successfully been running osx on a netbook for well over a year now.
additionally, when my mac pro tower kicks (that’s the shiny one on the right) i’ll probably build the one on the left and hackintosh that too.
i prefer the apple os, but i definitely agree that you’re paying an apple tax on hardware.
-
-
And here I thought this post would skyrocket like the moldy bible one from way back when…
-
You never know what will ignite an extreme post comments onslaught.

This is clearly trollbait anti-Mac propaganda, but I’ll bite anyway.
I just brought up these specs on the Apple Store, and got a price of $7297, so I’d say the price they claim here is accurate, more or less. The only difference is the 2 TB hard drive rather than the 1.5 TB listed here.
The biggest discrepancy I can see is that it doesn’t list “upgradeable” under the Mac. Just checking the options on the Apple Store, I can see that I can still upgrade this model in the following ways:
2x 2.66 ghx quad-core processor —> 2x 2.93 ghx
12 GB RAM —> 32 GB RAM
add three more 2 TB internal hard drives
add two more NVIDIA Geforce GT 120 512 MB video cards, or get a Radeon HD 4870 512 MB
add an additional SuperDrive (although I have no idea why anyone would want to)
add a whole slew of various softwares, but I assume there are PC equivalents, so this is probably not a plusIt’s also important to note that the monitors are $899 each. I find it extremely difficult to believe that equivalent monitors are SO cheap elsewhere that you can get two and still come in at $2000 while buying the other hardware for the PC model.
Finally, this is all from the Apple Store. Who the hell buys from the Apple Store? Apple is notorious for inflating their prices and any Mac owner with a brain knows to buy from a third party dealer.
-
I think they were talking more upgrade it yourself after you get it.
-
“A Mac owner with a brain” is a contradiction in terms.
-
I can get a 24″ monitor for AUD$226. Might not be quite as pretty as the “Apple Cinema Display”, but given that “state side” computer parts are always cheaper than here in Aus, its less than US$210 at the current exchange rate, I suspect that you could quite easily get a pair of 24″ LCD monitors for ~US$400. That leaves $1600 for other parts, which seems feasible to me.
-
Hmmm, after another look at the specs for that AUD$226 24″ monitor, I’m kinda thinking of going home via the computer shop tomorrow.

This from a Mac friend (seriously, I don’t own one & am not qualified to judge):
“You’re paying double [for a Mac] not for the same components but for the fact that the components are zealously tested with that OS to provide performance far superior to what any Windows-based system can produce with the same hardware. 1Gb of system memory on a Mac is worth 2Gb to 4Gb on a Windows system. Same goes for the processor, the storage, the graphics and nearly anything else.”
-
But hey, thanks for the negs anyway, faggots.
Anyone want to attempt an actual rebuttal?
-
The Mac Pro uses a Xeon 5500 series CPU which is designed for a dual CPU board. The 2.66ghz quad core 5550 is $999 on newegg. Cost of CPU’s alone almost match the price of the PC.
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117182The 2.66ghz quad core i7 W3520 is listed at $280 however this CPU (from what I have been able to find) can not be used in a dual cpu system.
www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202&cm_re=i7-_-19-115-202-_-ProductSo unless you can find a cheap Xeon you won’t be able to match the 8 cores/Dual CPU of the Mac Pro, with this PC at that price.
I’d love to see the detailed specs of the PC
-
-
-
May I just add, I love how the main defence of macs in this thread is “I’m too stupid and/or lazy to use a PC, so I’ll go for the next best thing”.
-
Just to clarify the reason why anyone would purchase the Mac as stated in the image. This is the industry standard for a majority of design and publishing firms. They are far more stable and consistent than a majority of the Windows based machines. The reason why one would get 12 to 32 gb of ram is to make working with 1 to 5+ gig files that much easier and faster. That type of machine has a purpose even though I wouldn’t mind seeing that purpose expanded beyond what it is, I WOULD NOT recommend this for an everyday run of the mill computer user.
Don’t get me wrong here, I have built 2 Windows machines and I own 3 different Mac’s. It ultimately comes down to your own personal preference as to what you enjoy using the most.

Agreed. It’s lasted since the times of the PS1.

this is the perfect controller, and i believe it is the main reason PlayStation achieved such dominance
-
I agree. This has been my favorite controller of all time. It really is very good. Never quite internalized the used of either the xbox or Nintendo controllers like I did the Sony controller.
-
I was pissed when I heard that sony removed the ERGONOMIC controller because people didn’t like it.
But then again, I think this post is assuming that the controller needs to change with every new system.
Maybe sony had it right from the beginning…ever think of that?
I wonder what the statistics are for people who like the play station controller vs who wants it to change.
-
That button lets me turn my PS3 on and off without having to get off my fat ass. I like that button.
-
So does your fat ass.
-
The thing I dislike about Sony controllers is the bizarre claw finger grip I have to use for the shoulder & trigger buttons. It’s doable, but damn is it awkward.
-
The creator of this picture (most likely a xbox Fanboy) knows nothing about Design.
You hold the controller in both hands, and all functions that you need all the time, are right there for your fingers to find, so it makes total sense to put the button you only need to turn the thing on and off (and reach the menu) in the middle of the controller. the farthest away from your fingers.
-
given the number of different buttons we need to play any game these days, I can almost guarantee you the alternatives would be much worse.
Unless you’re a PC gamer. In which case, it would be no problem.
-
Either your comment wasn’t intended to be a reply to mine, or I simple don’t get it.
To make my standpoint clear, I’m not a big PS3 Fan (but have one), but from an ergonomical point of view I like the controller very much, it feels great in my hand.
-
Dunno what happened, this was actually meant for Paul Is Drunks post…
-
I am a PC and PS Gamer, and I enjoy this controller. In fact, there is several models of USB controllers modeled after the PS controller and they are very enjoyable and functional for games like the MechWarrior Series, along with several driving games for the PC.
Sony hit it out of the park with this controller. I also used to own an XboX, and I do own a Gamecube, and I still think the Sony controller is better than both of those also.

I dislike the PS3 R/L2 trigger. Give me back my bottom instead a half ass trigger.

I like the 360 controller better for everything except fighting games.
-
Love the button.

360 controller, worst ever.
-
I dunno. The wii controller is pretty fucking terrible.
-
Part, albeit a very small part, of my decision to get the ps3 over the xbox 360 was the control. I am satisfied with this layout and feel, unless more buttons are needed, it can stay this way until there is a significant reason to change it. Why screw it up?
-
Remember the first Xbox controllers? Yeah. My brother and I were fighting like siblings do and I swung it around my head like a flail and hit him in the face with it. Besides the time when the family dog died when he was eight years old and that time I hit him with a shovel then threw a pin ball marble at him, this is the only time I’ve seen him cry.

Innovation isn’t always a good thing, y’know. In this case, functionality is key, which is why the Dualshock in its various iterations remains my preferred pad.

It could be doctored, but this pic pretty much sums up my feelings towards the “master race”, they will grasp at anything just to make themselves feel special… then when it comes to actually playing games, they go back to being miserable and bored with nothing but Crysis to show the power of their video cards.

Not jealous. I’m a PC gamer, and have been since it as cheaper to be a PC gamer. But consoles are getting cheaper than maintaining a computer capable of keeping up with modern games.
I also have a 360, and it’s great, particularly got impromptu mulitplayer.
But I certainly spend more time playing games on my PC than my 360.
Also, the fine print at the bottom right of that image. I totally just lost the game.
-
there is definitely not enough time in the day to hate somebody you have never met because they play video games with their computer. This post = herd mentality. Put on your ‘longcat is long shirt’ and pat yourself on the back.
-
Man, I wish I could still play games on my pc. More than half of the games I bought for it never worked. I never understood why there isn’t some sort of universal compatibility for pc games. I mean, I’ve bought almost every console there is, and guess what? All the games I’ve bought for it have worked! Astonishing! Except Fallout 3. Buggy as hell. Bethesda couldn’t program their way out of a wet paper bag.
-
Computers all have different operating systems, hardware, and software. They even might have different drivers or different versions for the exact same software. Consoles are all fixed, locked down standards, which make them easy to make games for.
-
Which is exactly my point – There’s no such thing, really, as the pc platform, as most pc’s are completely different, which makes gaming on them intensely problematic
-
Bethesda needs stop using the goddamned Gamebryo Engine. Seriously it is such a piece of shit. UT3 may be overused but at least it is stable as all hell (with the exception of mass effect, but i think that was just a poorly ported game)
-
an experiment carried out on 4chan? I rest my case
-
I’ll play any console, but i prefer my computer. I don’t hate consoles, i’ve hosted a good couple parties with an 360 and a huge TV, as well as a couple of LAN parties with the school computers (20 person network for COD). I just hate it when people think im elitist.
-
This. I love playing with console-fags in the same room on dif TVs and stuff. It’s amazing and fun, but my computer gaming is my personal time and I prefer being a solo gamer instead of playing co-op.
-
I like FPS’s, and I can’t aim for shit on consoles. Where FPS’s are concerned i don’t really see how it should be a contest. Especially competitive FPS play. The only one i had much fun with was Goldeneye for the 64 
I guess some console players have success with aiming with an analogue stick but i just cant see it since i suck so much myself.
Strategy games, MMO’s etc – there just arent enough buttons on a console? I know, consoles can get mice connected etc, but they dont really take advantage of that do they?
Pretty much all other games like fighting games, racing games, and stuff like guitar hero etc etc are completely pointless on a PC.
Fun to be had with both. If i had loads of monies id probably have a TV and some console but not really a priority. Leave it to those of my friends with proper sized living rooms lol.
-
I agree.
Look at World of Warcraft alone. It has millions of subscribers and is – at the moment – only available to PC (and Mac) users. A substantial amount of online RPG, strategy and MMO games are exclusively for PC. Couple that with recent studies and it just shows that PC gaming isn’t actually the minority – it’s the majority.
Most of the people that PC game probably have consoles too. So at the end of the day, the argument is pretty much a moot point. Regardless. Whether it’s PC or Console, you’ll still get trollers and dimwits.
-
well it would be NP to play a game like WoW on a console, given a proper mouse pointer and keyboard was connected, given that addons and stuff functioned as on pc. its just not done.
-
Granted, if you’re going to add a keyboard and mouse to your console – you might as will just use a PC.
-
Isn’t this really just proof that people on the internet are idiots? Which isn’t really a groundbreaking discovery, if you ask me.

This is just proof that message boards are full of idiots.

simple. you want to jerk off to porn, you go on your computer. you want to play video games virtually bug free on your couch then you play on your console, whichever your preference is. go consoles.
-
Feeling adventurous, I tried playing the PC version of Mass Effect 2 on my home projector from the couch.
Well, I’m sorry, but it sucked. Big monitors/screens are horrible for gaming. Reading the text hurt my eyes and the distance between the picture and me just break all the immersion.
A 16/9 2meter wide 1080p screen is good for watching moving, but I really prefer my 1280×1024 LCD monitor for games.
-
MODS.
PIRACY.
NOT HAVING TO BUY A NEW MACHINE JUST FOR PLAYING GAMES.
That’s why PC.

I quite enjoy all the 4chan porting/copying/transferring.
It makes me feel better about myself.
Keep it up!

This positive-response-to-things-they-want-to-hear and negative-response-to-things-they-don’t-want-to-hear isn’t exclusive to PC gamers, it’s a universal human trait. Look at religion or politics for example.
That aside, I’m a PC gamer. Why? Most of the games I like are better for PCs. Here’s how I look at it:
PC is better for:
FPS, RTS, MMO
Consoles are better for:
racing games, side-scrolling fighters (MK for example), RPGs, guitar-hero-esque games (DDR, rock band, etc).
I wouldn’t play Need for Speed on my PC, and I wouldn’t play CoD4 on a console. The platforms are simply gimped for the wrong types of games. Someone who only plays one platform and professes its universal superiority over the other is an idiot.
-
Computer: work, internet, multimedia.
PS3, PSP, DS: games.
It’s not because I don’t like playing games on my PC; it’s just that the games I really wanna play rarely make it on the PC, and even then I’d have to worry about DRM and specs and whatnot.
Still, there are always exceptions, most recent of which was the awesome Witcher, and one day… Diablo 3!
-
I am a PC gamer and I don’t feel this way at all. Potentially that’s because I’m also an adult. Or because I don’t have a comfortable recliner. Either way.
-
this is basically twelve year old troll bullshit.
my $sports_team is better than $your_sportsteam
my $x is better than your $y
who cares? pick one. pick both. pick go outside and do something. pick shut the fuck up and go back to your hugbox and cry that your $thing is the bestest ever. you are all broken and confused children in a world that’s handed you everything on a plate.
-
lol. anyone else notice the small print near the copyright info at the bottom?
-
I did. It made me lol.
-
I hate this argument. Consoles are good at their thing, PCs are good at their things. Consoles have the added advantage of not leaving you behind the tech curve. PC’s have the advantage of letting you be on the bleeding edge of technology.
Onoe is not better than the other, and neither one is dying out 
Not by a long shot. I hate hate HATE hearing indie developers like myself start complaining that there’s no point in developing for the PC anymore, because the consoles are taking over. They’re not
Idiots.
/rant
-
what the fuck is alan wake?
-
it’s a video game, duh?
-
I read somewhere when I was looking for cross-platform games that pc is considered to have an advantage over consoles cause of the key/mouse. I don’t believe it though. If you play long enough with either platform you become comfortable with whatever your using.
-
/v/ is like politics for children.
Just replace political parties for video games.
-
STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!
If you say something that they like, they get excited, but if you say something that they don’t, they get mad?
HOLY FUCK!
This may well be a startling new insight to human behavior.
And beyond that, Blizzard dropping D3 and SC2? The OP might as well have said that WoW was going to close next month due to lack of funds. If you are going to troll, it works better if you make up something believable. (Thats why saying god doesn’t exist always gets theists mad (Now that is quality trolling))

I miss Pong.

I see no proof of anything here. Except that 4Chan is populated by children.
-
My reasoning for using a Pc.
+all console games were made on a pc, or software developed by a pc.
+any game you play on the pc you can have a controller for that is no different than that of any console.
+The only limitation it gives me is how much money i can spend.
(though it is still cheaper than console to game on a computer)
There are children in any sector of gaming. But that doesn’t change the fact that computers are more efficient for gaming.

your argument is me.

Blasphemer!
*hiss*

Mario jumps around the place, risking life and limb and generally busting his ass for a princess who won’t even be there when he arrives.
Luigi chills at home and he gets to hook up with Daisy, the more bangable princess by far.

Why don’t you say that into Mario’s face? Look into to those dead eyes of his and tell him his sacrifice for the mushroom kingdom was for shit.

Looks like a few of these others left, if your 2XL. But what the hell, for 15 bucks, normally $100???

I’m 3x
-
Hit the gym. And loose the mobility scooter.
-
Before they committ to making a purchase I’m sure some people will want to know if its a name brand.
-
It is Ecko. I have the ridiculously garish spartan sweater that you can zip up for pretend imagination time.
-
Hate to sound like a fanboy, but that shit looks dope. I bet I could go to the mall and have one made.
-
The game was awesome and that does look dope.
-
Make your own. The font is Eurostyle and you can get the Jolly Roger from the Wingdings font. There’s no sense it paying $15 for what you can do at home for $5.
-
The extra $10 is worth the time it would take to do this.
-
This is a hoody not a jacket

It’s a jacket. It has a zipper down the middle.
