Hey, I own both a Ps3 and an Alienware M11X. For gaming I like my PS3 much more, I find a lot of PC games you have a chance of it not running or running poorly. With PS3 when you buy a game you don't have that fear. With PC it's constantly this error, that error, the game lags like crazy, the game crashes and you end up wasting your time trying to fix it, using google or youtube and a lot of the time the you just give up. With a PS3 the game freezes you take it out wipe it down with a cloth to get out some smudges and you play. I find when I play a new game on a PC, I'm almost expecting it to not work the first few times, and I end up frustrated and completely pissed off. When you get the damn thing to work, yeah you get mods, and other great things but it's being able to play that is the problem. You call up a tech guy or something when you're really stuck and he starts telling you, right click here, type the code 14929 into the text box below, check to see if this is there, then scratch your left ball, but not the right one cuz that will crash your computer, spin 381 degrees clockwise but if you go one degree off your computer will explode and don't even try counter clockwise because you'll wind up launching skynet, ok now the game should run, but it doesn't so you go back, and he tells you are you sure you didn't scratch your right ball, and the shit just continues.
That is why I prefer console.
