"PCs crash all the time"
Wow, now you are just spouting BS. Maybe an ancient PC running something older than winXP (Which is already old) and has malware/viruses installed.
Last I checked, consoles freeze too. My PS3 slim has frozen twice on Killzone 2 and 4 times with UC2. I don't mind though, it's rare, just like it is rare on PC. Hell on PC, my program crashes but my PC still runs, Unless you are overclocking and built a PC wrong, they do...

What site? Probably not a reputable one since you didn't list. And either way, this is only dangerous to a stupid user. You download a file, scan it, says it has a virus, website says "no it's okay, the scanner is mistaken", so you install and get a virus...
DUMB USER
Mods themselves are fine. You could say using money is dangerous and bring up a scam as a reason not to use money...
Holy shit, you ha...

PS2->PS3 6 years
Xbox->Xbox360 4 years
Gamecube->Wii 5 years
Nice "10 years" you put there.
#4 You can move a midtower PC just like you can a Console. Just bring the power cable and mouse and keyboard and plug it into any HDTV. Video cards even have sound chips on them that push sound to the TV through HDMI. Or just plug your surround sound optical cable into the PC and surround sound...
Dude, how can mods "damage" your PC? NONE. Unless you are talking about being stupid and downloading a virus, and then, that only would force you in the worst case scenario to format and reinstall windows. PC gamers pull mods from modding sites (and this isn't mods meaning like on console where you modify hardware or anything, it just means custom content) which check them out before providing them.
That is a seriously false statement.
I STILL play VS and COOP on chaos theory on PC. It is the best Splinter Cell game there ever was. And sadly, I think it might be the last.
What I don't get is MP still works on SC:CT on PC, since everything is hosted by the player and there is no match making, it is just server lists so they have no servers to maintain, I just get on the game and I can see people playing and I can click join.
Why not do the same thing for console? Lame
I wouldn't say the 360 GPU DESTROYS the PS3 GPU, but it is better in nearly every aspect. If you use the SPU's in the cell (which are basically pieces of GPU, not so good at CPU stuff), you can surpass the 360 GPU if you use that in combo in most siuations. The problem is, it is VERY difficult and time consuming. Not like how people say "lazy", but it us just a horrible architecture like John Carmack said.
In simple terms, the GPU is supposed to do GPU stuff...
Only the lighting? textures are missing or corrupt, water isnt refracting correctly and only sometimes reflects correctly, shadows are nearly completely missing, texture resolution is near N64 levels on practically every surface, no post processing except maybe motion blur, no physics objects, no buildings or vehicles, no AI.
Doesn't take much to run when you are missing all of that.
It boggles my mind that he uses HIS PS3 and HIS copy of Crysis 2 and HIS copy of Crysis 1 and that is deemed "illegal". There isn't even a loss of sales here, he bought them. No Piracy, just messing with software he bought.
All he did was basically import the first map/level of crysis 1 into Crysis 2 and ran it.
Right now it looks 1/10 as good as Crysis 1 on LOW...
The minimum you just listed is 1GB of system ram and 256 video....
Xbox has 512 system/video (can be used as either) and PS3 has 256 system RAM and 256 video RAM, both lack the MINIMUM system ram by 1/4 (if you split the xbox ram 50/50 like the PS3). And that is just MINIMUM meaning Crysis 1 on it's lowest graphical settings...
So no, they can't. The amount of AI and objects and trees and physics and size of the levels are so large, you would have to ...
@Enate
I listed the 590 and 6990 just to show what high end is. Earlier in my comment listed a range of video memory in cards.

You can see here, you can get a video card with 768MB-1GB of memory and the GPU in these run ...
@paintsville & GamerSciz
The PC version was held back by the consoles. Xbox and PS3 are almost identical in power when compared to the HUGE GAP between console vs PC. While consoles have 512 MB of TOTAL MEMORY (both system and video), Gaming PCs have 4,000-8,000MB of system RAM and video cards with 768MB to 2,000MB of video RAM. You can buy system RAM for PC that is WAY faster than console RAM and 4GB worth for 40-50 bucks online these days. That is insane.

Short answer, yes, just depends on what resolution and framerate you want.
Long answer, as long as you have a DX11 card, you can do anything there, it depends on what kind of DX11 card you get, a 100 dollar one or 500 dollar one or three 500 dollar video cards (you can add multiple video cards on PCs, meant for gaming on multiple monitors or TV's which causes the resolution to basically be 1080P time number-of-monitors). There are many video card speeds to choose from for...
Wow, I didn't realize the Samaritan demo actually rendered each hair on his head and each hair on his face, holy shit. Wish we could download it and run it at lower resolutions and inspect everything to really get a feel for it's detail without video compression and color loss.
DX11 is about tessellation, not displacement maps. Displacement maps (parrallax mapping) was in Crysis 1.
Even Splinter cell Chaos Theory on Xbox and PC used displacement maps.
@Lekumkee
The video you link does not show that light source. Don't you even understand that the PC version has nearly all light sources cast a shadow while console version only cast shadows from the sun and SELECT light sources?
herp derp, xbox game play and "self-shadow":

Let's see the screenshot. You are full of crap. This article doesn't even compare PS3, it is just flame bait and everything Panda said about self shadowing is true. It is some ignorant fanboy thinking that self shadowing means a shadow that is cast of "itself" when selfshadowing is shadows cast back ON ITSELF:
THIS is self shadowing, straight from Crysis 2:

Troll article. Crysis 2 CONSOLE version missing shadows on some light sources. And this isn't selfshadowing. Self shadowing is casting a shadow of yourself on yourself. IE, guy wearing a hat, hat cast on his face or guys arm casts shadow on his hip and leg.
Lame.
Crytek just announced they are currently working on DX11 upgrade to Crysis 2. Looks like you might get to see what they can do on PC.
