"We just received a pair of pics from "next week's" Target Ad. As has been heavily rumored, the Xbox 360 60GB Pro system will be cut to $250 while the 120GB Elite will drop to $300. Knowing that Target's weekly ads run from Sunday to Saturday we fully expect to see the new pricing go into effect onSunday the 30th"

The price-cuts are surely welcome by those interested in getting a 360... Good deal for sure..

At these prices all consoles (models) are now affordable by a larger no. of people who are into gaming...

who said those ps3 features are exclusives ? a game only on xbox and pc is a advantage but that does not mean xbox360 owners can claim the game as a exclusive... and so are those features on ps3 its an advantage... and a good one

the reason why you lems arent allowed to list pc/xbox360 when talking about exclusives is because its not EXCLUSIVE get the point ?

[QUOTE="marklarmer"]i've always found it interesting how 360 owners arent allowed to list 360/PC games as 'exclusive', yet cows preach about bluray and wireless internet access as if people with a 360 wouldnt possibly have a PC capable of either. They're not exclusive to the PS3 right? so how can you list them as plus points against the 360?

I agree with you, 360/PC only titles should be used when people disucss games libraries between PS3 & 360... Surely PS3 fanboys will act like they all have Gaming PC's but thats irrelevant.. If game X is available on 360/PC but not on PS3 then 360 owners have the right to list them when comparing/discussing games line-ups / libraries.. I dont have a gaming PC but luckily I have the opportunity to play great PC/360 only titles on my 360..

As for Blu-ray, Wifi, Free online & multimedia functions which are brought in when discussing price / hardware.. here i agree with PS3 owners (and to a certain extent PS3 fanboys).. Let me explain why..

If 360 owners are allowed to say XBL is superior to PSN because XBL has a couple of extra features such as Cross-Game chat, party chat setups, Netflix etc which are NOT ESSENTIAL to online gaming.. (these are just features which are not needed to play games online), in the same way PS3 owners are allowed to say PS3 is the BEST VALUE FOR MONEY, or best overall package simply cause it offers Blu-ray (HD FORMAT winner), Wifi (cool extra feature), Multimedia Functions (useful extras),Free online service (no extra $$$), Web Browser & Home features,Rechargeable controllers (no extra $$)& much more reliable hardware..

Surely some of the PS3 'extras' are not essential to gaming but they are welcome additions to the overal package..

I dont think one can argue the fact that a $299 PS3 is a much better value for money 'as a whole package' not just gaming wise than a $199 /$249 / $299 360.... Unless someone manages to get for $100 or $50 more extras such as a Blu-ray player & Wifi setup for a 360 (+ 120GB HDD in case of the Arcade).. Thats not counting the yearly XBL fees..

I'm sorry but you're wrong... you said PC have more functionality when it comes to blu-ray movies / entertainment & internet access.. That's true..

PS3 being mainly a gaming consoles at $299 (now) offers Blu-ray, an internet web browser, Home & many multimedia functions + a good Free online service.. So comparing PC & Ps3 surely PC wins for functionality, while games library is debatable depending on each individuals taste..

However since 360 fans (fanboys) state XBL is better than PSN which is not true since both XBL & PSN are equal in what is their main functions which is letting you play online, why do we pay for XBL considering PC online is way better and is Free ??? thats a fair question to ask which you avoided to answer
