How is the PS3 too expensive, its $50 more then the 360.

Im sorry, I just had to make this topic.

40GB PS3 is $399

Xbox 360 Pro is $349, add Xbox Live Gold Account ($50) equals $399, the same price as the 40GB PS3

80GB PS3 is $499

Xbox 360 Elite is $449, add Xbox Live Gold Account ($50) equals $499, the same price as the 80GB PS3

I had a 360, everybody knows that everybody has a Gold account, so dont even try and pull that Sliver Bull crap. I'm not even gonna get into the features to justify the $50 price difference between the two.

Games? games on both systems are $59.99. The 360 might have more games, but I'm gonna name the ONLY GAMES that people play....ready?

Halo 1,2,3

Gears of War

Mass Effect

Bioshock

Call of Duty 4

Forza

Madden 08

Rock Band or Guitar Hero

So really, games is not even a issue.

sorry TC, i have a silver account rigth now, you=lose.

Seriously though, why compare the most expensive 360 to the least expensive ps3? do you like getting flamed by lems?

Your thread title say (incorrectly) that the PS3 is $50 less than the 360.

You then go on to point out that the 360 is $50 less than the PS3...but if you count XBL subscription they are equal.

It makes no sense.

A lot of the extras that come on the PS3 (Blu-Ray, Free online, etc.) (not to mention the PS3 doesn't come with an HDMI Cable, but the Elite does), anyways, a lot of extras that come on the PS3, a lot of people don't care about...So why do fanboys feel the need to keep adding stuff to make the 360 seem more expensive than the PS3? The PS3 is more expensive, if you add all the features it is more worth it, buuuut the 360 is cheaper, always was.

if youre adding stuff like xbox live onto the price, then you should add HDMI cable for the ps3. that should still make the ps3 a lil more expensive. but honestly i dont know who still says that the ps3 is expensive, $50 difference is not a big deal anyway.

when ps3 first came out, that was a valid argument, but not anymore.

Well it depends which PS3 are you comparing to which 360. Go compare the starting price for each console and you'll see there's a major difference unless you have your fanboy sunglasses on today.

PS3 is no more expensive than 360, for the features you get. Quite sad seeing people say 360 is cheaper.Udsen

Well for the cost of get a 80GB PS3 I could get at 120GB 360. Hey, here is te most highly played game on the PS3:

The Waiting Game: Just Wait till 2009 - Edition.

beast667

Read again he compared the top 360 to the top PS3 and the low PS3 to the lowest 360with a harddrive. You = Fail

Did the arcade disappear all of a sudden? Not everyone has/wants/needs live. I know a few people that have had a 360 since launch & still never bothered to sign up.Kook18

who needs online gaming?

You are crying over a HDMI cable that you really dont need, come on now, you have to bring something better then that. Extras that you dont care about, like what, blu-ray? Bluetooth?, wireless?

My point is, its a $50 difference, basically you are getting that extra stuff for free.

There's one there for 250 as well.

399.99 +249.99 = 649.99. Still cheaper.

I agree with all of you, the Xbox 360 is the 'welfare console'. Every time I visit a trailer home they always have a 360 plugged into a 15" tv in the corner next to a pile of used diapers and empty beer cans. I am starting the think the RROD is caused by cockroach eggs.ThisCurse

you have alot of freinds and family living in trailer homes?

I help a friend of mine do 'evictions' on some of his rental properties. These people cant seem to pay thier rent or soap/cleaning supplies but always seem to have beer and a 360. Cracks me up man!

I've got the 360 pro and the 40GB PS3 and I've got to say that the Playstation 3 is the more impressive piece of hardware. Anyone who would say otherwise is being a fanboy, plain and simple. With Blu-Ray having won the format war (only two movie houses still support HD-DVD) and the $400 price tag, its finally worth the money to buy.

Of course all of this means close to nothing at the moment since the Xbox 360 game list is so much better. Anybody who says otherwise is, again, just a fanboy.

360 has more games to justify the price,ps3 isnt there yetParadiddleFill

Other then the games I listed, what games do you play?

Hence proving my point even moreso.

I added a rather expensive HDMI cable to prove even with it, for the same FEATURES, you get more for your money with PS3. Plus multiplats are shaping up rather well (Burnout for example), devs are taking notice to the PS3 now, and exclusives are finally making their way out of the door.

But I do admit exclusive comparisons are completely subjective and my little demonstration of proving PS3 is cheaper should not deter anyone from purchasing an Xbox 360, for its exclusives are many.

Also, once consumers become educated about high definition, and once digital becomes standardized (which is federally mandated for 2010 here in the states) consumers will start to pay more attention to the features on these consoles. Expect an Xbox 360 with a Blu-Ray drive and wi-fi somewhere in the near future.

Oh, don't worry, I know. I work at Future Shop (best buy), and I sell both consoles to regular consumers.

But since we're in system wars I'm talking to hardcore gamers (We're on a gaming forum debating PRICE differences.. :P), and rightfully the audience in which I'm speaking with should take that into effect.

When I go out and buy something and see two of the same, I think to myself " is that price difference worth it". If you gonna spent $349, whats a extra $50 when you get a whole lot more for the price

lol the premium is not the most expensive 360. the features of the 40 gb ps3 and the premium 360 are most closely aligned.
