I game equally on my PS3, 360 and PC but I don't see why this would entice a PC gamer to buy a PS3 as really it is offering something they/I already have.

I guess if there are games that they are dying to play on the PS3 it's good but other than that I don't see much use for me personally.
Exactly. Furthermore, the PC (I am not a PC exclusive gamer for all you who may try to turn this back on me) already has these things among many things the PS3 will undoubtedly never have, therefore, why buy a PS3 just for an accessory with which to use it; One you already have?

nope, because I own a ps3. XD and play on both PC. :) I love Mods but I still play my ps3 more.

reason why many (not all) say No is because they love mods and they believe console games are inferior because you cant mod them. Also they believe they are somehow too good for them because they are PC gamers.
That's not it at all, saying that you make us sound like elitist pricks (Which some of us are, but no worse than Console fanboys)
Mod's are an added bonus, there are many more games for Pc and 100% backwards compatibility, plus emulators. Some people prefer Mouse and keyboard setup, since its better for their preferred games and having one dedicated unit that does everything is cheaper than having a separate console/ Pc setup.
The PC just has so many advantages over console its crazy, but at the end of the day its all down to personal choice.

no, not really. If I were to purchase a console title and a console, I wouldn't be doing it for the control scheme alone. I haven't been enticed into a console before now, and being allowed to use my keyboard and whatnot isn't really a major deciding factor.

And I hear that console gamers have to put up with even more crap than us PC folks do. Oh, and massive amounts of modding make me incredibly happy.

So the answer is no.

Man, you PC guys love your mods, don't you?
Well besides the fact that several games were mods or are based of mods eg L4D, TF2, Counter Strike I could go for longer. Also mods add so much more than change things they add whole maps levels and equipment. Just look at the Archaeologists Guild mod in Oblivion it adds a whole new quest line to game although it is not voice it basically gives you another guild to climb to the top of. Also the Glass armor can be completely reskined to a variety of colours including a darker green, blood red and a shade of blue if you want it changed that badly.

Don't be silly, a PS3, even now, is hugely expensive. The few exclusives that aren't available on a PC hardly justify the huge price range, or the added price of games. Not to mention the cost of an adequate screen to game on.

PC gaming, over the life of the PC (usually about 2 console generations if it's well built) is substantially cheaper. Unless I come into money sometime soon, control schemes aren't going to impact my decision.

If you want the best of the best on PC and console, the PC is going to be about 4 times as expensive as a console.

If you want the cheapest of each the PC might actually end up more expensive, everybody has a tv that you can hook up a console to but I can't hook up a pc to my tv.

My low to mid end custom pc (not including the keyboard, mouse, speakers or monitor) cost slightly more than PS3, with controller and games, just saying.
Except that only someone compensating for something buys "the best of the best". Sure, you could have two GTX295s/480s in SLI, 64GB of RAM, Triple monitor, dual six-core processors and a petabyte of HD space, but it's not needed.
It's like a gold plated PS3.
Even my current setup is a tiny bit excessive for just getting by. As an example, it can run Metro 2033 on High/Very high settings, while the 360 version of the game runs at settings which are between low and medium.

And everyone has a PC. The cost of upgrading a normal desktop to that of a mid-high end gaming PC is less than that of a PS3- especially now that many desktop office machines have better than dual core processors.

And I believe you can connect a PC to a TV. And Google agrees. First result for "TV as PC monitor": http://www.howtodothings.com/electronics/a3543-how-to-use-your-tv-as-a-computer-monitor.html
Unless there is a monitor cable that goes to scart, there is no way of connecting my PC to my tv.

Not everybody has a PC, I used to live in a place were you were well off if you had a poor notebook, yet everybody has a tv.

There are a couple games I wouldn't mind playing on the PS3, but in general I just don't have the money or time, and there aren't enough titles to entice me.
Given the complete removal of any money worries and the extra time to play all the games I'd like, I'd definitely own every console (Already have a wii and xbox, as well as older nintendo consoles and a PS2). But I would still consider myself a PC gamer as it's just my preferred environment. My computer is like my little nest. I also like the freedom to enjoy mods, record video, multitask -and- use my mouse and keyboard at a comfortable desk.

Until the day comes where I can upgrade every part of the PS3 individually, I'm not buying one. If I'm going to buy any console it will probably be the x box, since that seems to be where most of my games are going.
