How will the 360 Elite compete with PS3's upcoming 160-gig version ?

Hey guy's 360 Elite owner here, i'm wondering what else this new PS3 coming out this fall will have aside from a bigger hard drive, if it has the same hardware and backwards compatibility and sd slots as it's old 60-gig model i think my precious Elite won't be at the top of the heap anymore.

I mean i know that us 360 owners are getting a completely new graphical interface to replace the blade system this fall with a software update but will that be enough to compete with PS3's Home software update combined with their new 160-gig system.

I just don't know, Sony can slip in to the lead with all this combined with certain exclusives and our looming R.R.O.D problem, it's times like this where i worry about having made the right choice my self or even sliding down to last place in the console wars.

Why would a game console need to compete with an overpriced blu-ray player?WillieBeamish

Hey-Ho Mr.Bias!

The 160GB has ucnharted bundled, its a pretty sweet deal.

I watched the Liepzig sony's side and they got some hot stuff going there way.

This is true, like myself in which I own a 60gig version PS3 replaced with a $500gig Harddrive. It was well worth it.

They'l bring out a new hard drive, just as they did for the pro

and yes, all the threads you have posted so far would suggest your a fakeboy

how sad. uncharted bundled

how old is uncharted ??

and uhhh that is game is 30 euro/usd isnt it ??

plus the ps3 hardrives are upgradeable so you could eventually have a 500gig hardrive if you really wanted.desyple

OK, so its ok for a PS3 owner to upgrade with a hard drive, but anyone who buys the Arcade for $199 cant upgrade without anyone (usually PS3 owners) saying "whats the point" or "the arcade is useless"??? So is the 20, 40, 60, or 80gb PS3 useless since you need to upgrade because of all the installs??? I mean, isnt it the same concept as Arcade owners running out of space on the memory card because of arcade games, or game saves??? Just a thought..........

Main difference in my eyes is the fact that you have to buy Microsofts HDD from them, which is way overpriced. PS3's use regular 2.5" SATA drives, which means you can get 320Gig's for about $100. How much is the 120 gig hard drive from Microsoft?

Edit* Just looked it up, it's about $150 for the 120gig HDD from Microsoft.

fake...-DrRobotnik-

The 160 GB PS3 is the one that needs to compete. It's another new sku and is the highest priced for any console.

Hey guy's 360 Elite owner here, i'm wondering what else this new PS3 coming out this fall will have aside from a bigger hard drive, if it has the same hardware and backwards compatibility and sd slots as it's old 60-gig model i think my precious Elite won't be at the top of the heap anymore.

I just don't know, Sony can slip in to the lead with all this combined with certain exclusives and our looming R.R.O.D problem, it's times like this where i worry about having made the right choice my self or even sliding down to last place in the console wars.

No, a 160gb ps3 will be the most expensive consoel on the market. It will be the same PS3 just a bigger hard drive. 360 elite is still top.

personally i think they're becoming balanced now and it just depends what you want i.e movies on demand vs bluraymarkop2003

The 160 GB PS3 is no different (aside from the HDD size, obviously) than the 80 GB PS3 available right now. It's not going to have BC, card readers or additional USB ports.

So considering the Elite's lower price, I don't think it'll have a problem competing.

It will compete because it has better games.Republican11

it actually does matter about the cost.In the end price+deal is all we are looking at when buying a new console.

what's your gamertag?

wow is this a joke? bigger hard drive does not mean a better console

I still have a ton of room on my 20gig 360

by being $100 cheapermephisto_11

Exactly

Wow, the TC is a fakeboy lol.

But anyways, $399 is good for a gamer.

It's be hard to fill up 160GB anyways.
