First run on PS3 to play the game in its full glory on my HDTV and then PC to enjoy the mods for the next 3-4 years till TES VI comes out.

No, they aren't. Both are capable of outputting in 1080p, neither is capable of rendering a scene of any significant complexity in 1080p. The PS3 has a handful of games that spend potions of their time in 1080p, and go down to lower resolutions when things actually happen, but that's all. I say 'standard' because a significant amount of console games are sub-HD, like CoD, Halo, GTA4, so on.

Very interestingly, while games like GT5 are 1080p, it just goes to show how bad a measurement "1080p" is, because ingame it renders as 1280x1080, and even then has to fall back to 720p when things start happening.

Personally, I can't justify buying a console - I spend ￡100 more on my PC, make significant savings on games (Because even at full price, PC games are ￡10 cheaper), don't have to pay out of the ass for every single peripheral and secondary service, actually get a little bit of freedom, and can use it for other things. Even if I were constrained to console level resolutions and graphics, without mods, it's a no-brainer.

Additionally, I play games to have fun - not to play "what was intended". What was intended was for me to mod it, hence the release of a very good editor and modding structure. Oblivion itself is hardly what was intended, being cut down at the last moment to fit on previously unknown consoles (Though that's really not their fault, as upon their release they were half decent).

Just shut ya pipehole ,and give it rest.....ok!

Consoles are more poplular,they've taken over,just like the gen will.....you like PC we get it....get over your snobbery!

Topics like this ,should be stopped straight away,it always end's in the same [censored]. As long as we can all play skyrim who gives a flying [censored] ?

PC user's are usually the ones to start such things,they fear console's and are jealous. Find me a PC and monitor for the price of an xbox = 200 ,for the new 250Gb xbox....some of you talk through your arseholes....and it's getting frustrating.

Things on this forum are getting boring and monotonous.....it's no wonder that todd prefers neogaff forums,to this. Some really nice sensible people on here...sadly ,the idiots take over!

I read what he said and there wasn't anything untrue. In fact he really didn't actually say PC is better he merely said why he personally prefers PC over consoles. Your the one who needs to shut ya pipehole.

I suspect they are talking about size. Most people have their computer hooked up to a monitor in room A, that monitor is maybe 24 inches. Their TV with consoles attached is in room B in front of a couch, the TV is 40+inches. I'd rather watch 720p on a 40inch monitor than 1080p on a 24inch monitor. This isn't to say you can't hook your pc up to the big TV, just that most people don't have it set up that way.

Personally I'd much rather take more detail on a smaller screen than less detail on a bigger one. Since when was lower pixel density a good idea?

@br0sk1; Pretty much any modern PC has more than enough spare power to ensure perfect framerate well above the console 'standard' of 720p.
