Later this month: man blows $600 buying XBox 360, Wii, and Nintendo DS. Is still not able to play every game ever made.


I assume that anyone that would consider spending $600 on a console would already have a computer that can emulate older systems, so the 'PS3 = emulator' argument would not be very convincing to them. Is there a system that the PS3 can emulate that the PC can not? Or, is the PS3 very much better at emulating than a PC? If so, I'd reconsider buying one.


I have no idea why it showed Quentin Beck as the author of that instead of me, but allow me to clarify - it was not him.
