[QUOTE="WilliamRLBaker"]

so its expensive and your answer is....well the 360 but but but but....that doesn't make me think its not expensive like been said before.

I own an 360, an ps3, and an wii, I purchased both the 360 and wii and would have NEVER purchased the ps3 till it dropped to atleast 250 bux because it wasn't giving me what i want where as the wii and 360 did but i happend to win it in a contest so thats a good thing but it still reinforces the idea that it doesn't give me what i want, there have been no games so far that i want to play but i have played some and i dont want blu ray, or most of its other functions. and those functions just dont jusitify a 400-500 dollar price tag let alone an 600 dollar one which was the price when i won this ps3.

I play games, i want a game machine, if i wanted an hd format player i would have purchased one, till this day i've yet to purchase an blu ray movie cause i've seen the public displays in stores and they gave me no reason to upgrade all they gave was stuff i could not take advantage of my TV is only 30 inchs and can only do 720p-1080i, my sound system has no support for hdmi and it only supports DTS 6.1, and Dolby 5.1 so blu ray offers me nothing.

lol....this is funny. you said that the ps3 doesnt give you what you want, lol....but you bought a wii?

the Wii's library of games interest me far more then the PS3's.

It doesn't matter. I don't have even $300. I can't buy any of the consoles. Anything over $100 is expensive for me.Wasdie

hell yeah man, school is so expensive and I have to budget money so tightly. I would like to get a 360 but 1. NO money. 2.RRoD hasnt been completely resolved.

So im glad i bought a console in 06 cuz I wouldnt be able to afford one right now.

For the record, Blu-ray players haven't cost $1000 in many months. In fact, at Circuit City, you can pick up a Sony or Samsung Blu-ray player for $399 - and a Panasonic Blu-ray player for $299. :|

I don't think the PS3 is really anymore expensive than the 360 - but $50 a year is nothing - and the HD-DVD drive is now $130.

The HD-DVD argument is null as no one (at least no one in their right mind) is still picking up this accessory.

But $50 a year for a service that everyone else provides for free isn't nothing. It's a ripoff.

Nah, it's too easy. ;)

Game consoles are made of metal and plastic. They cannot be inherently dumb.

Think about it and get back to me.

Discuss.

For those who keep saying a PS3 is too expensive and will only buy one if it is 300 dollars... I mean come on, give Sony a break! Its a blu-ray player and the functions and stuff is way more complex than a Xbox 360! Just think, a normal blu-ray player at Best Buy is going to cost you like 1000 dollars! Sony is basically losing about 200+ dollars for every system they sell! I know PS3's games aren't that strong compared to a 360, but one of the reason is because the system is too high tech that it is harder to make games for a PS3 than a 360. Well we will just have to see if PS3 can pick it up with even higher quality games that the 360 can do in the next year or two before its too late.nc72689
This is SW. Do you realize how many fanboys come into those threads and say it cost to much just out of spite. Look how many times they say they won't buy it until it is $200 or ever $150. You have to learn to ingore the ingorance that is the fanboy.

You could. You could also buy bottled water or get it free from the tap. Who cares? There are people that find value from XBL. There are others who don't. Live and let live dude.

True enough. But trying to claim that paying $50 a year is a "travesty" or a "ripoff" is silly - considering that over 10 million people pay well over $100 a year to play a single game (WoW). Not to mention, the millions that play other MMOs. It's $50 a YEAR - for what most consider a superior service to PSN. Find something else to use against the 360.

So why pay more for a system that doesn't have as good a library? The Cell? The Bluray? So what? All I care about is the games, not what processes and renders the games. That's why I don't own a PS3.

True, true, the RRoD is a ***** and a half, but that doesn't make the shortcomings of the PS3 any less so. Besides, speaking as a RRoD survivor, the times when it isn't dead more than make up for the times it is.

Why should i give sony a break? It's up top them to deliver their product at an attractive price. They could have cut the blu-ray player and delivered it cheaper. I don't care what they standalone MOVIE players are going for, the ps3 is too expensive for a GAMES console.

It's why both sides have customers.

Some people want a reliable system with a few games.

Others want a much larger library with good games.

If cutting the Blu-Ray out then Sony would have no reason to release the PS3, instead they could have added a few add ons to the PS2 and we would still be using the PS2. The nice thing about Sony is when they release a new console it has the latest media format instead of the same media with a slightly different dessignation (DVD and DVD9 is basicly still a DVD with a 9 tacked on the end and maybe a little more disc space). Really nothing big there.

In all honestly, I think these systems are always to expensive; however if you do happen to purchase one, either the PS3 or 360 and find value in it and use it for more than just a year to 3 then it has paid its self off. If you have the cash to dish out and seriously consider yourself a gamer then getting a next Gen system shouldn't come down to price but style. I own all three systems, each with it's own purpose if you will. My 360 dominates right now. The 360's on-line is superior, the controller is Superior, the games are there, I can't complain about a thing. If Sony decided to create a better on-line service and charge 50 buck I wouldn't mind, as long as it worked. I see my PS3 mostly as a Blu-ray player. In fact, I may just return it and buy a blu-ray player because I see no true value in it. My Wii, is my kids Wii and thats it's value. I'm old school and this is the new school version of what I started with. Again, don't bother yourself with price, instead consider the value and your needs!
