It matters not ot me. The game still looks amazing, they still have a few months to improve it and I will not fork $2000 to run the game at full force when the differences are not that big (yes, they are noticeable, but not enough to make me go for a PC).
Dellusional dumbasses. PC for me anyway, which could make me sound like an obnoxious prick, but whining about obvious hardware limitions is retarded. Besides, reason I'm going for PC is mouse/keyboard anyways.
There IS a pretty sensible difference though. Quite sensible really. Enough to make consider buying NFS: The Run through STEAM and just plug my 360 controller on it.

For some reason, I thought this was going to be an Xbox360 vs PS3 thing and they somehow flubbed the port to PS3. This sounds a lot more reasonable.
It's basically the player's choice. Like they say, you get what you paid for. Whether that person wants to play on a console with limitations but at a lower price is up to the player himself.
If I could I would play the PC version but my computer is mega crap. But playing on my PS3 isn't going to bother me. I just want to play the game.
"You can't seriously believe that's how much it costs to build a computer?"
It's say that's a conservative estimate for the kind of computers they're likely running Battlefield 3 on. I'm not saying it's the PC you or I have.

PS3 = $300
PC GPU = $300
"Some" console gamers really dropped the ball here if they thought it would be the same but I will be buying this for the PS3 and when I do upgrade my PC (Diablo III), I will buy it again for the eye candy.

@ManWithNoName i agree 100%.. watched jimmy fallon last night, there wasnt a major difference. you could tell the textures werent as smooth, but who gives a shit.. aint shellin out $2,000 on a pc for 1 game..
i knew it wasnt going to look as amazing as the pc version but still after months of being fed pc footage i ended up forgetting that it was just that: pc footage.
still looks good though.

In their defense, it really isn't as good looking. It's pretty noticeable. However, it also isn't really anything to bitch about, as the game looks fantastic anyway. Silly fanboys will complain about anything.
@Jim Sterling,
"It's say that's a conservative estimate for the kind of computers they're likely running Battlefield 3 on."
You can say that, I guess. But honestly $2000 would be beyond overkill to run this game at max. Throwing out such high (and seemingly random) numbers just gives people the wrong idea and makes them go back to hiding behind their consoles. You won't be needing SSD's or SLI or any of that stuff.

It makes me happy that DICE is putting the PC version first, as opposed to what Crytek did with Crysis 2.
@detron 77,
"aint shellin out $2,000 on a pc for 1 game.."
See? See what I mean? This guy now is going to be using the $2000 price tag for absolutely no reason. I'm going to start saying the 3DS is $1000.

BUH-SIDES, the super nice PC you'll build will also ensure your Skyrim will run optimally. Ho ho! Seriously though, Elder Scrolls should be played on PC. Screw what Todd Howard says. And screw Bethesda for not optizing that shit for PC. Mod community, unite!
Fallon always looks uncomfortable in a suit. They should let him host the show wearing a doritos crusted t-shirt and wrinkled shorts.
PC version looks way better, not that this looks bad. The tank portion of the E3 PC demo almost looks real. I'm hoping to see a console reveal from MS and Sony next E3, PC's just leaving them in its dust.

not alot of people are going to drop $600-$800 on a pc either. specially when they have a ps3 or xbox at home and the difference is negligible.. yes 64 players is tempting.
what ppl still forget is that PS3 Footage is still PRE-Alpha just like the PC version! it can only get better if all this footage so far has been PRE-Alpha.

so much whining, its the way things are, DICE is just stating the obvious, they can only do so much with 5 year old hardware, what else do you expect them to do?

i would drop around $2,000 if i was going to build a pc.. then i wouldnt have to worry about upgrading, FOREVER..... FOREVER.....
@ Jim,
"God damn it. Everything gets twisted into anti-PC propaganda.
I'll change it."
hahaha. I don't think it was anti-PC propaganda.. I just think people are too ignorant not to have the correct info. I've been here long enough to know you're not a pc hater (although it took me a bit to come to that conclusion).

What planet are you from? Can you imagine a game looking like that just 5 years ago? Does anyone realize how amazing it is we basically all have supercomputers at home that can render stuff like this at those framerates? DICE, it, and you guys, rock.
@Jim
Mighty gaming PC, whats that? A $600 Best Buy special? I need a doller range to go by...lol
I would have left the price up there as DICE was showing all the games on $2,500+ Alien Ware computers not "build it your self budget savers".

im well aware that you dont need ssd, sli, or use a 990x.. but even if you running a $600 rig not alot of people want to shell that out for one game..
what dumb shits, pc has always had the advantage when it comes to graphics, god i hate jimmy fallon what a noob
Whatever..As long as the game play is good, I'll be happy with the PS3 version.
It still looks better than most console FPS games.

@Fireaura
Soooo true! <3 I was just saying this to some friends the other day!
Thank you for validating me! lol.
The game looks great on PS3.Im sure the console crowd will be pleased in the end with it. I spent $1000 on my new PC based on the specs of the computer running the demo of the game at PAX. The guy said it was running with 16 gb of ram and a 580. Apparently the demo PC had 2 580s in it but one was turned off. He said the game didnt need 2. That was a relief to my wallet. :P i7 processor too. So I built it to those specs.

Once again proving that its time for another generation of consoles. Us pc gamers have already seen the future, its time for our console brethren to join as well.
People constantly say that there is barely any difference between pc games on a mid-range machine vs a ps3/360, and man they are so wrong.
However I kinda understand people's frustration. Dice constantly showed their game off promoting how great the graphics are. While playing the game with a controller mind you. All the while every press person has been playing the pc version. They don't exactly go out of their way to let you know everything we've seen so far has been a pc version. It all stinks of false advertisement. I can see why people are pissed off.
Also want to add, that I hate how developers constantly do this.
They show off their new major game on the 360. Wowing people with the graphics, all the while they're actually playing on the pc while using a 360 controller to play it. Not only that they are using 2000-3000 gaming pcs to run it. Seriously thats false advertisement and I hate that shit too.
@Manwithnoname
You do not need a $2000 computer to run battlefield 3. If you spent $2000 (lets ignrore the monitor shall we) on a computer, you either A)are a hardcore pc builder that likes the best shit out there or B)an idiot who got suckered by your hardcore pc building friend
Aside from the monitor I have never spent more than 1000 bucks on a complete pc overhaul. But thats the magic of pc building. Once you have a basic stuff you don't need to replace everything.
Over the last 5 years i've only replaced my graphics card twice. Each card not costing me more than $250. I'm still using the processor and ram (intel quad core 2.6hz and 4gb ddr2 ram) that i bought 5 years ago.
I'm late to the party but I just started playing assassin's creed 2 and brotherhood and its nice to play those game at native resolution of 1920x1080 with smooth detail (none of that nasty aliasing crap that plagues the console versions). Did I mention silky smooth 60fps.
I'm not saying everyone should be playing their games on the pc, i'm just trying to explain that it isn't as super expensive people make it out to be. I also wanted to make the point that console game have alot of room for improvement on the visual fidelity side.
Time for new consoles!!!!
*side note: I don't expect new msoft and sony consoles till 2014*

@ mix
Yeah, but just because that's what DICE was using, doesn't mean that is the setup required to run the game decently. You can get a lot out of a "Build it yourself budget saver" if you know how to shop right.

i spend on my gaming PC less than 800$(on update to my pc - new GPU, CPU, motherboard, Ram and OS) and frankly it can run pretty much anything on MAX settings or near those.
@jim
I don't think anyone took your article as anti-pc gaming.
They are responding to commentors who think pc gaming is all about alienware pcs that cost 3000 dollars.

Still is the best looking game I've ever seen.
I don't understand why people like the Crysis series' THAT much, because all I ever hear is that they are the best looking games ever, which I don't beloeve.

Jim. How do you work in the game business and not even understand what the milestones are? A Pre-alpha build would NOT see the light of a nation television release.
Pre-alpha is before testing has even begun, the game often is missing key components such as sound, voice, hud elements, some animation, and many features are incomplete or not even designed yet.
Hell, pre-alpha isn't even deemed a "playable build" that is the alpha milestone.

If you want to do pc gaming you really have to build the pc yourself or know someone who build it for you as buying branded pc's is just not an option they are overpriced as hell. of course noone buys a gaming pc just to play one game you do it to play all games better. better controls, better graphics, mods, genres that just don't work that well on console, to chat while gaming and to other things at the same time. I love the building part of the pc deciding what parts to buy and such. there is still a lot of good freeware on the pc and a good gaming pc is also a lot faster than a laptop or old pc in all other things.
one other thing to remember pc games are 10$/€ cheaper than the console counterparts so if you buy a lot of games the pc isn't that expensive anymore especially compared to a xbox360 with xbox live.

@Cryotek warranty man, warranty. i have had 3 ps3s. got it when it was $600. After a year and a half it stopped reading discs. Had a best buy warranty. Replaced it with twice the memeory and since the price had gone down i got paid the difference on a best buy card. Had if for a year and a half and it started scratching dvds so they replaced it again with a slim with twice the memory again and the price had dropped again so i got the difference on a card again. I ended up paying $300 for my $600 PS3. Its peoples own fault if they dont protect their purchases.
@detron
No one really builds a $600 pc for ONE game.
Most people have goddamn desktop. If that desktop is no older than 5 years, all you need to do is add 200 dollar graphics card and you are good to go.

building a pc is not hard if you don't know what to choose just build one of the many pre selected builds around the web or ask someone to make one for you on some random forum. the building itself is not hard it's just screwing some parts into place according to a guide, it's about as hard as building your average ikea shit.
Jimmy Fallon--- what a douche
I have no doubt that he really love video games. I like him because he's actually genuine about this. But boy does he know very little about the hobby.
He's like that little brother/cousin who is like super excited about video games and is constantly bothering you about newest game he heard his classmates are talking about. He acts like he knows everything about games, but he's so young and new to the scene that he just sounds like a total tool. What makes it worst though is that they're little kids, Jimmy Fallon is goddamn adult.
