    I have been a cosole game and a PC gamer most of my life. Consoles give you less hassel but you can't upgrade the hardware in a console you can in a PC.

    When Technology moves you end up having to buy a new console where as with a PC you just upgrade, thats why I prefer a PC for gaming.

    Still waiting on screenshots from VLB,

    I wouldn't mind seeing a screenshot of 200fps on cod4, I don't have it but I heard it's demanding, even on low settings..

    cod 4 isn't that demanding in my opinion, I have yet to experience any jibbers even with my modest setup, I get jibbers on crysis but only when autosave comes into the equation. Bioshock is the most demanding game I have and I have a lot of slowdown on that even on low settings.

    I doubt it's "that" demanding, my system could run the demo NP's and it's a modest system really.

    I still wouldn't mind seeing Fraps screenshots from in-game mid-action with 200fps..

    200fps seems a bit exagerated to me, maybe I am wrong but I think more like 100fps sounds like a more true figure.

    200fps?!

    I'd like to see that as well. AFAIK, all modern games are capped to a certain number of fps - normally 60fps now which is the standard refresh rate for a flat panel. Yes you can get higher (before anyone has a go), but caps remain in one form or another.
