why do most ppl say that the ps3 cost more than the 360? it doesnt if you add everything up. you dont even get hd movies out of the box with the 360 and when you go buy the attatch ment for it the 360 cost $600 and the hard drive is a third of the size and you have to pay for the online it isnt even free. so dont say the ps3 is more expenssive than the 360  b/c it is not. so go with the ps3!!!!!!!!

The attachment? The 400 dollar XBOX 360 comes with everything you need. And soon there will be an XBOX 360 that comes with everything you need, and twice the amount of harddrive space as the PS3, and it will still be cheaper than the cheapest PS3. Huzzah.

You usually get everything you need right now. Most stores pack in a free game and more often than not a Live Gold card. Armed with those and the Premium itself you've got the total package, including an actual game.

No wifi, so that costs you an extra $70, plus if you want to use it to play HD movies you need to pay another 200. PLUS you need to pay 50 dollars a year to play online.

If you're wired, you don't need WiFi. Anyway, 3rd party adapters start at $40. And you can enjoy HD movies without the HD-DVD player (remember, downloadable movies).

What is the XBOX 360 console? It's a game system. We're not matching the PS3 here, we're talking about what you need. Do you need the Wifi adapter to play games? No, you need an ethernet cable, and if I'm not mistaken the XBOX 360 comes with one. Do you need the HD drive to play games? Again, no, that's for watching movies, which the XBOX 360 can already do in the first place. Do you need 50 dollars to play online? In a sense, yes, but right out of the box, no. You have an automatic 1 month free membership when you buy an XBOX 360.

Why do i need the hddvd player? I think it's better that it's not included because alot of people don't have HDTV's, so we don;t need to pay for something that we'll never use

:lol: you can't download 1080p movies from xbox live. You have to get downgraded 720p versions. AND there is a VERY limited selection of downloadable movies.

I got a 360 for gaming not to watch movies. So the 360 will always be better for me because the ps3 is a movie player first and foremost. Dose that mean i will never get a ps3? No i will get one when the price is around $300.

Hey I know

-if you have a 1080p HDTV

-wanna watch hi-def movies and use ur console for other multimedia

-plus u already own a psp and dream of remote play one day

-several ps2 games (but no ps2 'cause we all know about the dreaded DRE or ur lil' bro nicked it)

-you're not exactly a multiplayer junkie

-enjoy Sony first party games e.g. GOW, TwistedMetal, Wipeout, GT, R&C or even KZ (yes some ppl liked it!)

-already own an xbox360 anyway and got the cash...

then a ps3 is prbably worth it...well those are my reasons. I mean I got a £300 ($590) X360 and only have only had 2 games for it in the past YEAR...but i still think it was worth it!

This is like saying:
Hey, this sports car is 34,000
That beatle is 15,000
But You can't drive the beatle, you need to take it to a chopshop, and have it souped up to match the sports car.
The point is, they offer different things for diferent prices. If all of the consoles were the same, the cheapest one would win.

Yep pricey. 1080p HDTVs are expensive, and some cheap 720p HDTVs get down scaled to 480p on the PS3.

Kinda nice having the "choice" to buy all those extras huh? $5 a month to play ANY 360 game online? Wow...so expensive.

720p is fine on ps3, its the HDTV's that only support 480i/p and 1080i are the ones that get scaled down.

ya but i am talking about right now not in a year

Alright then. Right now the 400 dollar XBOX comes with everything you need and it's still cheaper than the PS3. What now?

No wifi, so that costs you an extra $70, plus if you want to use it to play HD movies you need to pay another 200. PLUS you need to pay 50 dollars a year to play online.

Kinda nice having the "choice" to buy all those extras huh? $5 a month to play ANY 360 game online? Wow...so expensive.

Nah, since it ends up costing you more once you DO buy them.

This argument is really old... It just really depends on the gamer.76ers
76ers wins the thread!!! If I were into hd movie stuff I perhaps would have got a ps3 but as I still own a sdtv it doesnt matter for me - what di matter were 340 € i saved by buying the 360 instead of the ps3 ;-)

But you don't have to. That's the whole point. Why would I buy a HD-DVD player when my PS3 has a Blu-ray? Bamn...$200 I wasn't forced to spend.

Its two different approaches. Sony puts everything into one package and charges alot for it. MS puts some things in a package and provides everything else seperate and overcharges for them. That way they make more on accessories and services. You are paying alot either way.

This thread is about buying one or the other, not both, so your example fails.

This name of this thread is "360 price vs. ps3 price " not "360 (with all the extras) price vs. ps3 price ".

The ps3 isnt cheaper what so ever, Im from Australia and for $600au you get the premium, a extra game maybe 2 aka Pgr3 and Do4 a dvd remote and a headset, The Ps3 is 1000Au and the only thing you get out of is the Br player and free online each year, Wifi, extra 40 gigs in the hardrive.

Xbox 360+ Hddvd drive+Wireless adapter $40au= $890 without the extra 40gig  memory card reader and it actually included 2 games, headset, media remote and HD cables!!!!!!!!!!.

Ps3- Ps3+ BR drive, Extra 40gig and a memory card reader but with out Hd cables, media remote, headset, 2 games......... so basicaly you pay $1150 for the same package as the 360 but with more hdd and a memory card reader and the xbox 360 you pay $890 without the extra space and hardrive, omg!!!! i never knew that 40gigs and a memory card reader were worth $260au

Although i know hd-dvd is dead i wouldnt even consider get a hd-dvd drive so im get a ps3 for that on the 23rd of march which is the ps3 release date, The premium gives the things you only need to play games where Sony is giving you a bad deal, Although i know this but im getting it for the Br player but not so much for the ps3 games because theirs only a hand fill of exclusives but i ll play some ps2 games, Ohhhhh i forgot pal systems will only be able to play ps2 games via software another idiotic move.

I presume this is kinda the diffrence in price between the two in most places, although i can praise Sont for making the ps3 region free and having a new disc format so it would hold back piracy for a while which means more game sales and thus more and better games.

I got a premium 360 with 4 games and 2 wireless controllers in a bundle for 410 Euro. Add 40 quid for the play n charge kits and it comes to 450! That is still 50 Euro less than the PS3 and I got GOW to make it equal to the price of PS3 cheap model (which won't even be sold where I live). I don't have a HDTV and don't care about HD movies. I also don't play online. What exactly am I missing out on considering I don't play online and don't have HDTV when buying 360 over PS3?

Excuses Excuses the bottom line is that the PS3 costs more than an Xbox 360 all that other stuff isnt needed to play a game most people buy video game systems to play games I have an Xbox 360 and I have never been on Xbox Live ever! So you dont need all that extra stuff to enjoy a video game .

I had to buy a cold storage room to keep my 360 from overheating. It cost $50k. Add that to the cost too!

OR...

I can plug the cable directly into my Xbox, seeing that the cable tv and the xbox are (are you ready for this) CLOSE TO EACH OTHER!!! 

Next, my 360 upscales standard DVD pictures.  Is it true HD?   No.  But the HD movies I download from XBox Live are.  Oh, and the movies I stream from my PC through the 360 are.  So again you're not being totally honest.  I have watched true HD movies through my 360 without buying the HD-DVD adaptor.

Lastly, Xbox live is currently $50 year.  It's also unquestionably the best online service available for any console.  Simply put you get what you pay for.

To play Hi Def games with your PS3 you have to buy HD cables.  Microsoft included those.  Cost of HD cables?  About the same as Live!   You lose.

[QUOTE="walton13"]its been said a million times, the PS3 gives you more out of the box will be a cow response, but a lem will tell you you dont need it...demoralizer

Yeah and cows tell people who don't own a HDTV that they need an expensive Blu-ray drive. :roll:


Or even people with a HDTV that they need an expensive Blu-Ray drive.  Regular DVDs still look great on an HDTV.  And if you really want a Blu-Ray drive, at least get a good one, not a 2x.

[QUOTE="Sensui1986"]For €415 I got: Xbox360 core system + 20GB HD + Wireless Controller + Headset + 3 month XBL + Gears of War Top that ^^



But where's Taladega Nights? LOL

I love people who talk like Xboxlive or the hd-dvd drive or more HD space are things 360 buyers have to get lol

Well if you wanna do it that way then I can do the same. So if you wanna buy a PS3 you gotta spend the $600 but since it's Blu-Ray it's pointless to watch it on a SDTV so that means you HAVE to buy a HDTV lol
So the price of the PS3 is then like around $1200 or so lol

I don't know how sane people can argue that the PS3 is expensive. Non-gamers around the world think it is. But I guess the majority of people are wrong and PS3 fanboys are right lol
