Hardly. The graphics in PC games are nowhere near that quality. Check the game play videos...

No, not like this. While the ATI x800 and NVidea 6800 are great chips, they don't match the overall power of the Cell and it's graphics system.

Check out the trailers! It's FReepin' amazing!

Not a chance.

I an currently running a 3.6 GHz 660 CPU (2 Meg cache) on a 1066 FSB (P5AD2-E/DDR2) mobo with a 6800 Ultra PCI-E vid card and it still cannot touch the PS3.

Hardly. The differences between computers and consoles are huge. For one thing while computers are still in 32 bit, consoles are at 128 bit right now. Graphics and there processors are dedicated for rendering and gameplay on a console while on a computer they arent.

Computers right ow can barely even emulate current consoles, not to mention you always get at least one generation ahead graphics technology on consoles. ATI, NVidia tend to now use the console market to offset the future costs of video cards in computers.

I guess you didn't see those videos .... PCs are not even in the same league.
