Hardware Ultrawide Monitors

[wennik]

I have an ultrawide monitor, I really like it. I would use it for gaming, but a gamer computer is very expensive, I have a ps3, but the black bars persist. What is the solution to this problem? I would like a console, since in my country it is cheaper. Does anyone know of a console that has ultrawide support or some kind of console modification that allows unstretched use.

There's no console yet that natively supports ultrawide. You MIGHT be able to use cheat codes to force a greater render width (especially on older consoles), but I don't know about many 21:9 mods

So what's the best solution? What would you do under these conditions?

"but a gamer computer is very expensive"
If you insist on running everything at the highest settings then maybe.
A more modest machine is still capable of running most of the games at more than acceptable qualities and framerates -- devs don't tend to only require the latest and greatest hardware these days as they realised there are more people than those that enjoy spending rent for several months on a rig every year. For the most part if you have a halfway acceptable CPU and enough RAM to be able to browse video sites then it is probably only going to be a graphics card holding you back.

At least entry, but obviously as high as you're willing to pay

Okay, thank you all, now I have a lot to think about.
