![]() | ![]() The PC version definitely outclasses the Xbox 360, mostly because of the ability to crank the resolution to 1920 x 1200. If you've got a Vista rig with a DX10 card, you can expect some heightened particle effects, crisper real-time shadows, and more dynamic water, but the game looks gorgeous regardless. On our gaming PC running a Core 2 Quad processor with a GeForce 8800 GTX, and 4 GB of RAM, it ran very well, with only a few occasions of seemingly random framerate hitches http://pc.ign.com/articles/813/813641p1.html

![]() | ![]() so wait, a $2000+ device outperforms a $400 one? Stop the presses ![]() Seriously though, GFX wise, price/quality the XBOX can not be beat at this time, only when it comes down to controlling the game the PC version has a serious advantage with keyboard/mouse

![]() | ![]() Internet with the laptop, work with desktop ; play games with console. No more headache, more time to golf in the summer, hunt in the fall & winter, travel in spring. That's life. ![]()

| ![]() Agreed. Ditched consoles for PC games long ago... I tend to get better value out of it. Why pay $60 for a just released console game when you can get it for $20 on a sale at a local electronics store or $10 new on ebay. ![]() |

![]() | ![]() Two steering wheels in front of large LCD screen, play, drink with friends and relatives. ![]() Price, depends on what a person values. UT2003 can be played with older graphic cards and PIII. ![]()

| ![]() Of course I love the tweaks and modifications PC gaming allows but for me it's really all about the controller. Keyboard and mouse all the way. |
