Ebay will have the best deals. I bought a brand new 80GB PS3 back in Feb on there for like $330. Just make sure the seller has plenty of good feedback. Best system I've ever owned. Use mine mainly as a BluRay player, but RE5 was simply breathtaking on a 50" plasma. Hope this helps.

Sorry about the late reply. I think I'll go with the first build (very nice!) and I'm going to consult my IT guy tomorrow about getting the parts. I will keep in mind the thing about the power supply. Thanks guys :)

Hello, I've posted multiple times on this board looking for various tips on PC building and I've never really done it due to budget restraints but now I have $1000 (give or take) and I really want to build a good gaming PC.. I have a guy who builds PCs for a living who's gonna do all the...

Looks like Left 4 Dead, but better... I like the horror/scifi settings rather than the real world ones you see in so many zombie games today. They just get boring...Plus the gore looks fun.

Thanks to all for the suggestions! The computer I was going to upgrade was a friend's (but I had access to it), but I have the funding to build my own and figured now is the time to do it... I think I've asked this before (months ago..) but could anyone help me out with what I need to build a...

Wow! Thanks for the replies! Umm, call me weird but I was expecting to pay more for a graphics card so that's AWESOME! If I'm gonna shell out for a card, I may as well get something that'll run the new games too. What card would run Crysis (and other new PC games) at a decent graphics setting...

Okay, I just bought the Penumbra Collection at my local Gamestop and have run into a problem playing it...That being my graphics card sucks terribly. I get halfway into the tutorial on Black Plague before it freezes and once the opening cinematics end on Overture my computer freezes. My...

1280x800 is my laptop's resolution, but my monitor will probably be an average square one like most desktops come with. I'm not really gonna get into HD gaming yet, so I'll settle for the 3850. If I ever get my dirtbike sold, I'll be able to upgrade some stuff, but this will work for now. As...

So many responses! Thanks! :) From the sound of those computers I saw, I'll probably build. So to the above post, would a Radeon HD 4850 go well with that build and play a high quality game like Crysis at a high-ish setting? Or is there a better card for that build? Once I find the exact parts...

My laptop has about had it memory-wise and I want to play more games on my PC since they seem to last longer online (unlike consoles which come out every 5 years). I don't have enough of a budget to build a sick computer from the ground up, so I thought I'd buy a used(?) desktop and upgrade it...

Yeah, I've decided to build one and jonac13 has been helping me out the past few days on what to buy and where to get it.

Maniac Mansion and Beast Busters: Second Nightmare are pretty cool games...

Even though the pedophile is at fault, it's just as much the parent's fault for not fucking watching what their child does. This will happen over and over because parents would rather blame someone or something else instead of learn from it. I don't speak for every case when I say that though.

Hello! I am currently using a crappy Toshiba laptop and I've been content with it mainly since I only own Serious Sam 2 and Diablo 2 but now that I have Doom3 and Resurrection fo Evil, I realize that I need a desktop and a badass one at that. I am selling my dirtbike to pay for it so money...
