All three are computers and the most effective is the basic computer consisting of more parts and interfaces that can be modified, where as 360/ps3 have a set graphics set motherboard and all the rest of it, nothing is upgradeable whereas there is a different story altogether with normal computers, everything is upgradeable. Another thing to add about consoles is that they can only play games mainly and when you turn that around to computers theres another whole different story again!

I am also pretty sure you can add all of the Bad things about computers to the bad lists of the PS3 and Xbox, as those statements could fairly well be more than capable of happening. MANY MANY more things are capable with normal computers than consoles, the list could go for years but there is one thing to remember that the consoles are classed as restricted whereas computers are classed as open!

It depends..

For pure gaming: Consoles are MUCH better. I think there are too much people using Computers for gaming. The problem with computers is that you need to know what you are doing.

With consoles:
.) You don't need to know anything about security: Everyone can install a virus scanner, but I'm speaking about preventing attacks. Virus scanners are more or less forensic tools. They only work, if there is no virus - which disables the scanner - is installed and are only able to find viruses, which keep their signature and don't 'mutate'. All these stupid games need admin privilegs, which you shouldn't grant to all that games, if you care about security. You should _really_ know your system.
.) You don't need to know anything about hardware: There are a lot of people buying a FULL(!) new computer for games. Oh, and there a still people who say that the CPU makes your computer fast. They buy new CPUs for new games. While CPU Power is good, most people need new graphic cards or memory for their new games. This relusts in a lot of waste. Your console is longer up2date.
.)....

But I'm not that much of a gamer... I'm playing some web games or poker, if I'm bored. It would be a waste, if I would buy a console (or a graphics card or something).

Oh and what really would be needed is something like a console PC. Whith standard (gaming) hardware, which is faster, requires less power and works with all that games out there. Maybe with an OS in ROM, to secure from viruses.

Computer.
And to reezer - it wont happen. The closest thing is ps3+linux but , major BUT if a console could do everything a computer could do, it wouldnt be a console now would it.

And a computer with specs to match the xbox360 or ps3 would cost upwards of �600 or $900 (probably much more) the reason the consoles are cheap is because 'restricted' and thus can only play games and what the manufacturer intented where as a computer and do almost anything technical
