Hey fanboys the PS3 costs $ 399

Honestly theres so many people that keep saying that the PS3 is too expensive, it starts at 399, thats as a much as 360 goes for.

It's been like this for a while now so you guys need to get it through your heads, the PS3 is $399 and comes with all the features that the 360 SELLS seperately as ADD ONS.

If the cut-down PS 3 counts at $399, then the cut-down 360 counts at $279

Also, the Premium 360 is $350 now, not $399. I don't know if that was intentional or not, but if you're going to criticize fanboys for mis-quoting prices, well, good job yourself

(360 fans) PS3 at $599 - lol too expensive and crap. no one will buy it. Sony needs to decrease the price.

Sony decreases the Price

(360 fans) PS3 at $399 - lol talk about desperate, PS3 hasn't even been out for a full year and they have already decreased the price.

Maybe if they didn't hav so many different version that look exactly the same there wouldn't be so much confusion about cost.Shazenab

are you serious the 360 has 5 or more versions and they just change the color. you lemmings need to put the fanboyism aside and be honest for once. the ps3 isnt an expensive console anymore for the money it's the best value.

One model 360 goes for that much. You are comparing the higher-end 360 to the low-end PS3.

Oh, and it took a year for it to hit that price. I am not complaining, mind you, since I paid more for my 360 than I did for my 60Gb PS3.

no one owns a core, core sucks, and the elite is $ 399 SAME AS THE PS3 GENIUSTurninTricks

The Elite is $450. The Halo 3 360 is $399. The Pro is $350. The Core is $280. Maybe you shouldn't insult people when you are wrong yourself.

First off, let's get the factual inaccuracies out of the way. The Elite is $450, people do (in fact) own the Core, and just because you wouldn't buy it doesn't mean it sucks.

With that being said, if you're going to count the most expensive version of the 360, logically you have to count the $499 PS 3 version as well, unless your sole purpose was to make a biased comparisson. In which case I won't waste any more of my time

$399 PS3 =/= backwards compatability.

$349 360 = backwards compatability.

I like not having to buy stuff I don't want/need.

PS3 is way too expensive for me. If I wanted any of the current games out for it, that would STILL be way too much for it.

Lower end PS3 is better than Halo 3 360, all the add ons the 360 needs to compare to the PS3

If, and I stress "if", you want all that extra crap, I agree, the PS3 is a better overall value.

However, I have a Pro 360 with no add-ons besides play & charge kit, and you know something? It plays games! I know. Weird huh?

Oh, if I didn't have to go to class, I'd have fun with this one...

Spruce, I'm gonna leave this in your capable hands. Have fun!

The OP was actually aplying logic into the equation. It's not whether it is a cut down version or not, it is how comparable any SKU is to another. If the PS3 that is cut down comes with everything you expect on a Premium 360 included in the bundle, then comparing it to a core 360 with no hard drive would be a fanboys mistake. The core 360 isn't comparable to any SKUs out there.

If lemmings concede that the PS3 is $399, then cows have to concede that the 360 is $279. Fair enough?shaggygrosser

No, because the $279 model X360 is probably the worst value out there. I actually feel sorry for anyone who buys one. Personally MS should discontinue it, it really hurts all X360 owners to have one system with no Harddrive.

xbox 360 actually costs more than the ps3. You have to go out and get a play and charge kit or else you will be changing batterys every week. And 1 year of live will run you around $50

but guess what, People are willing to pay that much for a xbox 360 because its actually a good system

in fact, there are people out there that buy 2 xbox 360s before they buy even 1 ps3. No ones buying the ps3. Its been a full year and its only sold 5.5 million. Thats horrible! And thats with Japan support too. Ps3 has only sold 2.5million in the US. Remember, this is the successor to the ps2 which sold over 120million. Wheres this huge fanbase now?

They are both game systems, correct? In that their main purpose is to play games, no? Does the $280 Core play games? Yup. Sure does. Does the $400 PS3 play games? Yup.

They are comparable as game systems. You all keep comparing them as entertainment devices, and marketing PR aside, these machines are game systems. They are meant to play games. The other stuff is all well and good, but for the sake of discussing game systems, is completely worthless.

And, value is assigned by each individual person, based on what they want out of something and/or what they expect to get back. That is precisely the reason that many felt that $599 was too high, because they did not feel that they got enough value for that asking price. On the flip side, the Wii is costly for its hardware, but people are overwhelmingly voting with their wallets that they sinf the machine offers $250 or more worth of value.

Value differs from person to person, and is not really linked to the MSRP.

Maybe if they didn't hav so many different version that look exactly the same there wouldn't be so much confusion about cost.Shazenab

There are 4 versions of the 360 out...

The 360 Arcade @279.99 comes with a mem card, wireless controller and 5 free XBLA games !

You need only buy a 20.00-30.00 20 gig HDD ( online retailer ) and what you have is a 300.00 360 pro + you still have the five free games and mem card.

That my friend is a sweet deal !

Also those 360 Arcade units are fitted with the falcon mother board as evidence - look for the HDMI on the unit.

A 399.99 gimped PS3 and no B.C. - at this rate, I'll wait for the 99.99 PS3 late next year ! j/k sorta:lol:

It has been hard for me to pick the 360 or the PS3. But by using getting the 360 it comes with two games (three if you count Halo). Which my wife can then rap each one making it three gifts. The $399 PS3 comes with no games making it cost even more than a 360.HarlockJC

Have her also wrap, the recharge kits you will need to buy for your controllers, and the Xbox Live membership you will have to have (especially for Halo). The $100 wifi adapter should make a nice gift as well. The gifts keep adding up :) Welcome to the Xbox world of getting microshafted for everything.

You don't like Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, God of War, Metal Gear, Unreal, etc... Second, Multiplats aren't always better on X360. Oblivion, Dirt, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, are just a few examples where they are better on PS3. You can't just throw a blanket statement out.

Don't need the live I already play Halo 2 on live. I don't need the Wifi I ran a 150 foot wire under my house to connect the XBox.

Don't get me wrong I want a PS3 some of their online Muiltplayer games are better. But the system still costs to much. But I will owe one with taxs. I still own all 4 last gen systems.

That's right...

...even so, it seems like this past Black Friday people chose the more expensive 360 Elite over the $399 PS3 that comes with all the features that the 360 SELLS seperately as ADD ONS.

Cows need to get it through their heads, people do not want the PS3 at any price.

Hardcore Sony fanboys and movie buffs are the only ones buying this machine...and thats not going to be enough to save the PS3.

Did you notice how you're comparing the lower end ps3 to the premium 360?

Maybe if they didn't hav so many different version that look exactly the same there wouldn't be so much confusion about cost.Shazenab

There's only been two versions at a time since launch...with minimal difference in functionality. Yet there are 4 or 5 versions of the 360 out at the same time all with different features and functions.

Yet you would bash the PS3? Interesting "logic".

Maybe if they didn't hav so many different version that look exactly the same there wouldn't be so much confusion about cost.Shazenab

Come on, dude. You know very well that there's no confusion on the lowest priced PS3. Every ad you see now shows that price. If you look at threads in SW for two minutes you see someone stating its $399.So tellingus that people are "teh confuzed" is a lie.

If the cut-down PS 3 counts at $399, then the cut-down 360 counts at $279

No one is saying the $399 PS3 is the lowest priced console out there. All people have been saying is that PS3 has now hit a price point that a lot of gamers were confortable with for a long time on the 360. And if they were comfortable with it then, they can be now.

It was PS3-haters that said that 360 was priced good and the PS3 was overpriced. That was when PS3 was $599 and the 360 $399. And now PS3 is $399. Get it? I thought so.

I sold my Xbox to get a PS3. I had Gamecube, Xbox1 and 360. So how is it that only Sony fanboys are buying it?? PS3 is my first Playstation and I love it. I sold my Gamecube and I bought a Wii which I enjoy, although it doesn't get as much game time as the PS3.

I think the problem is that $399 is to expensive for something so worthless. :lol:Nugtoka

I may not be getting one but the PS3 is far from worthless. Their are still bigger online team battles on the PS3 than the 360

What's wrong with changing batteries? Rechargeable batteries, duh.

You sold your Xbox1 or your Xbox 360? If you sold your 360, I feel sorry for you...but that's ok 'cause you can always sell your PS3 and buy another 360 when you realize you made a mistake.

Ok...Hardcore Sony fanboys, movie buffs, and a gamer making a mistake purchase here and there, are the only ones buying this machine...and thats not going to be enough to save the PS3.

ANyone that has 360 has a Premium or Elite one

That Core one has no memory, so no Live. So Why Buy?
