easy answer PS3
Xbox i would have thought, less hardware too run basically, plus if the updates come through it will give even more as a home media center.
To answer the original question posted by Erkronos, it all depend's on the power supply in your computer.
Assuming it's a regular desktop with about 400 Watts, then i would say the best option would be a "GeForce 550 Ti" card that will cost around 120$. You're gonna get the best bang for buck with that piece of hardware. It can take on pretty much all games up till 1680x1050 resolution.
But i wouldn't say that ATI is bad in any way. It's just that the card you purchased was of a very low range. ATI card's are truly amazing. I had an ATI HD 4870 for two years and it was one of the finest graphic cards i've ever used. If it was my personal opinion, maybe ATI is better than Intel. But always remember that you need to compare cards of different brands at the same level.
Lucky you people PC hardware is cheaper in your country where as in Turkey, it is sky rocketing due to high VAT.
