PS3 with no PS2 BC- 400 dollars.

GT5 DEMO- 40 bucks

Gamepad with rumble- 49 bucks

Full Motorstorm game- TBD

See? I can do that too. But the truth is, everyone gets milked. Anyone that believes otherwise is just fooling themselves.

And there is a lot of that going on in here.

Hermits get milked the least....They don't have to pay for much besides their primary system/upgrades, other than that almost everything is free (besides games of course, but that's besides the point). Plus they get free mods, and some of the best online games.

Too bad I don't have a good PC...maybe in a few years when I'm out of University (still in High School though, so that's like 8-10 years :()

Then why were they called cows last-gen? They didn't get slaughtered much then, did they now?

Besides, it's only been one year, and the PS3's not even that far behind.

Facts? Well, they are obviously Skewed facts, and do NOT tell the whole story. Anyone reading your post would be decieved, which although your intent, was recognized in time.

Thank god.

Here's a fact : Even if the PS3 and Xbox were at an EVEN 50% BC rate, the PS2 would have hundreds, if not thousands, more games! That's because the PS2 had FAR more games than the Xbox.

Another fact, the PS3 plays PSOne games! That is another fact!

You're right, facts are fun.

FACT :I am a hardcore Xbox Dude that has 2 360,s and 2 Halo Xbox's for LANning, and good times. I own multiple copies of games most people buy one of, like Call of Duty 2 and 4, Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Splinter Cell's, Phantom Dusts, etc. I also seem to have the Gamerscore to back up my claim as a HUGE Xbox gamer. Still, I call it like I see it.

Yeah, Controller prices are crazy. It used to be a controller was half the price of a game, instead of almost the same price! If you have a Wii, then you even pay more, since the Wiimote is $40, and the Nunchuck is $20. That's $60 per person!

If you decide, like me, to get the Wii Cla-ssic Controller(s) needed for many of my Wii games, that's another $20 a piece (I needed two of them for many of my SNES VC games)! If you need/want a Gamecube Controller, that's another $24.99! It's pretty wild.

I am all Wii-ed out now, accessory wise, but it cost me a pretty penny! I am Super Smash Bros. ready though!

I get on XBL without Wifi, own rechargable batteries and can use the controller to play DVD's. Current PS3 adopters, enjoy waiting a few months to pay pay for a feature that should have been in the controller and paying for demos of games...DXGreat1_HGL

Id like to point out a few things wrong with what you just said using your twisted fanboy logic. First off...YOU are the one paying for demos through your live subscription. PSN IS FREE with FREE DEMO's. The only exception is gt5 prologue which is quite a big demo.

Demos are free after a week..but eh..I could get more playtime out of XBL's 150 demos than I could from PS3's actual library.

360 wireless adapter $100.
ps3 eye camera is only $30.
ps3 br remote control is $20.


ps3 owners may be called cows but how come the 360 owners are the ones getting milked?gamenux

Well it is wireless-n complient (next gen wireless standard) so the price is somewhat justified but why MS chose to do that is beyond me since almost no one uses it yet.

Who would pay extra for lag, when you can hardwire it for $10? (btw I hardwire my PS3 also)

Eye toy comes with a lame card game that is unplayable after people figured out you can xerox rare cards.

My $150 uber do it all universal remote is useless with my PS3 because there is only one remote in the entire universe that works with the PS3 and it's made by Sony. (thanks for that one Sony jerks)
