I think your friend do know those facts

but the truth is, he made his choice, and he got no money to buy another one, so the only path ahead of him is defend what he has right now

well, that's his fate, leave him alone

And boy, how is he wrong!

 Just look at these numbers. THey are all FACTS! No fanboys in denial allowed!

 

PS3 = 600 dollars

 

now to upgrade the 360 to be able to be compared to the PS3...

Just hang on a sec, u will be SHOCKED!

 

360 core = 300

3x 20 gig HDD = 300 (I know, seems unfair, but facts are facts!!)

wireless = 80

online = 350 (YES 350!! why??? 360 lifespan = 7 years. So 7 x 50 = 350. I know truth hurts)

HD DVD addon = 200

 

summing this up = 1230 DOLLARS!!

Now, remember when sony said PS3 is a steal??? Now u know why


chadwardennn

Lets just add the 1080P TV for the PS3, no point having one if you can't watch the Blu-ray films. So I guess thats another $2000+ onto the PS3 costs (my TV cost ($1500 for my 360), oh and the HDMI cable is another $100. Soon adds up. OMG, I forgot the 7 controller support, thats 7 x 40, thats another $280.

[QUOTE="bezaire2005"]

wow...another one of these threads involving people who fail to realize that the 360 costs $299-$399. Will it ever end? I have not even spent close to that amount of money on my 360, and that includes the games and controllers I have.

This thread fails.........AGAIN

Lazy_Boy88

 

And another one of those people who fail to realize there's more to it than the face price. 360 may be cheaper to get initially, but over the long run you WILL spend more money on the console+service and far more if you want any of the overpriced periphereals and upgrades. The price argument against either way is just stupid because you're going to spend about the same.

No...actually I'm not.  I've spent 399 plus tax...that's it.  There is no more in the long run..so I guess that makes you pretty wrong.

Great post but MS fanboys don't want to hear it. "Where are the games." Wait until the holiday season when the games are out and then post this. PS3 will be a real bargain then.

[QUOTE="makingmusic476"] Yes, they let you choose when you want something, but the second you do want it they way overcharge you for it!

Most definitely, even the freaking memory units are overpriced. Would love for Microsoft to explain to me how a 20GB HDD and Wifi are worth $100 each and how they can get off making you spend $20 for something that should have been included in each controller to begin with (Charge and Play). While we're at it their racing wheel isn't that great and costs more than some that are.

Your right in more ways then one! You know why? WHen you buy a PS3, there is only 1 game you need to buy to get anything of quality on it! When you buy a 360, you have to buy a whole bunch of good games, and those games add up fast. I'm really glad when I get a PS3, I won't be tempted by good games I might buy, so that my costs stay low! Thank goodness for that making it so much cheaper!jeffwulf
Not true at all but whatever. Tell me more about that killer launch 360 had? King Kong, Kameo (what a good one btw), Call of Duty (zzzzzz), and others that are just so stellar they're not even worth mentioning. Easy to point to the games when one system has a full year under it's belt and the other doesn't. Just remember that the 360 was only named that because MS feared people would think Xbox 2 inferior to a PS3.

well i could counter argument and say that you dont need to spend $300 on HDDs, you could just spend $180 for the new 120GB 

online is payable over years, so you dont need to pay all at once

and you dont need the HD-DVD add-on, i dont have one

Call of Duty 2 ruled, as well as Kameo, PDZ (say what you want, i liked that game), and PGR3

chadwardennn

Are you saying you need 3 core harddrives? If not, why would anyone buy the Core, then buy a harddrive, they must be awful dumb. Duh, lets spend more money. As for online, no one is forcing a 360 to get it, infact many can't, I couldn't get it the whole first year it was out. As for HD DVD, I have no interest in that due to limited selection of movies and the fact that I don't care.

So (I paid 400 something cause I'm in canada) 450 Dollars for Prem......and thats it.

Oh look, thats a third of yours.

BTW, PS3 in canada is 698 dollars. If you want to throw in stuff you think you need, say a HDTV you get around 1700 dollars.

Oh no, its more expensive! If you don't like 360 thats fine, but none of us here care.

You forgot a house (to protect it from rain, theft etc), a sofa to sit on 7 controllers (the first four could break), 4 play and charge kits, a HDTV, the overheads (such as power) and about three dozen other things you don't actually need to play it.

Who the hell wants to buy another harddrive?  Do you know even one person who has bought a second harddrive for there 360 because the first one is full?  No, so I think we can agree that knocking the price of the harddrive is pretty irrelavant at this point.

http://gear.ign.com/articles/747/747438p2.html Are you effin kidding me about the racing wheel?  It has gotten awsome reviews from pretty much every where, and as far as I know it's the only wireless console racing wheel out there.  It certainly deserves to be priced higher than the others.

So true. Oh, and you'll have to pay about double to get your hands on a Bluray standalone player, which you will, when HDDVD fails, which is inevitable as it's inferior to bluray. Don't forget that.

Now lets look at how much it costs to ugrade PS3 to the quality of xbox360.

 Buy PS3 - $599

Throw PS3 into garbage - $0

Buy XBOX360 Premium - $399

 About $1000 either way I guess...

Low-Cost
Xbox 360 Core + Memory Card = $339.91
PS3 (60 gig) = $599.99

Fully-Loaded
Xbox 360 Elite + goodies = $833.61
PS3 (60 gig) + goodies = $790.36

http://www.n4g.com/News-32759.aspx

I dont know why people think SOny stop makin the 20gb but they are in fact still producing it welll thats what they tell everyone..but i guess people is after the 60gb version ..even when you get the ps3 20gb its still better deal then the half baked 360 elite.. Either way they ps3 is better system to have right now..and who in their right mind will buy 120gb for their xbox360 that cost 179 dollars lol

Nice, you also forgot the core doesnt come with component cables, Ha add another 40. Seriously, why dont you compare the premium to the 60 GB. Also the elite comes out in a month. Boy are you jealous of your friend.

Do you need a HD-DVD to play Xbox 360 games? No...

Do you need a Blu Ray drive to play PS3 games? No...Not really. I have not seen any game, out right now, or coming soon that really needs Blu Ray. There isn't one single PS3 game, present, or future that cannot be done on DVD...Period.

Is Sony milking the cows by forcing them to pay extra for a Blu Ray, and using their fans just to win a format war, because all Sony really cares about is their movies? Yes..I cannot believe cows don't see it.

You might as well start adding the cost of each game since your price analysis depends on add on costs.
