iphone vrs ps3

Iphone 499 gets you a 4 g.

599 gets you an 8 g

the exact same prices as a PS3. My question is what would you choose. A video game console with dvd, blue ray and many other features. Or a bad ass phone that has the internet mp3 and portable video on it. I have a 360 and wanna purchase a ps3 when ff13 comes out. But iphone is pretty temping right now and the money i have saved could praticaly buy one when it is released. The down fall is that the iphone requires a 2 yr contract via ATT. And the steep price of course. Is anyone else gana make this purchase and do you think for a 360 owner to just buy an iphone or that i should get a ps3 also!

Thanks for your input.

Heck I would even take a phone like this over PS3

Yep..fair comparison

The iPhone is considerably inferior technologically to many phones already out there..don't get fooled by the advertising, its not really very impressive as a new consumer electronics device.Runningflame570

What? It is incredibly user friendly and in this market that counts for quite a lot. And yes it is very impressive how it seamlessly moves from application to application. I use a blackberry and I wish it was that seamless.

gamespot is lemming and sheep central, of course these people will choose iphone just to bash sony. dane-cook-sucks

:cry: Dane- this is the only comment you ever make. You can always go somewhere else.

i'd rather have the zune phone.

or the original iphone

the ipod is inferior to most mp3 players out there but it doesn't stop people from buying it. i bought the zune. imo, it's better than the ipod. the worst part about the ipod is all of the attachments. it has more add-ons than the sega genesis and 360 combined.

uness you really need a smart phone for work, Id get the ps3, but wait you already have 360...so I would say take that 600 and go with your heart or go on vacation...how about a bond fund?

We don't know thats its incredibly user friendly, knowing Apple it will carry all of their little quirks with it and most people aren't too familiar with how the Mac world works. The thing is overpriced for what you are getting, just like all other Apple hardware ($80 for a 1GB MP3 player that doesn't even have a screen? NO thanks, I'll just keep this).

What matters to me and to many other people for that matter is the feature set, so long as the hardware itself is moderately usable they will sacrifice user-friendliness for good technology and a decent price and those are things Apple is lacking with the iPhone.

The shuffle is the ultimate workout music device. No cases needed, just clip it onto whatever you're wearing. Besides, who wants a miniature screen anyway? Put music on there that you like- then listen to it.

Get a ps3

Wi-Fi for the win. Seriously.

IPHONE IS MORE USEFULL MAN, U CAN HAVE IT IN YA POCKET AND SHOW OFF.

Iphone will sell more than ps3, in fact iphone will b the leader of cellphones market, like Ipod did in the music market share.

Why>? cus people use cellphone all the time, we dont care to pay $300 $400 or $500 for a cellphone, cus we r gonna have it all the time,CELPHONE IS A NEED, Ps3 is not!!! People wouldnt spend $600 for a ps3 just to watch a movie one time or to play 1 hour per day, lol USA ia a fast life, cellphones connect that life, PS3 doesnt.

i can go to a shop and buy myself a purple phone for 1 buck and call my friends

america is really a weird place

Get neither.They're both overpriced.

Just wait for price drops on both then decide.

Wi-Fi for the win. Seriously.

musicalmac

Not everywhere has wi-fi...while there may be a lot of starbucks around I'm not within range of one all the time. I think the iphone would be fantastic if it was 3g. With no 3g I could care less what else it can do.

Where do you get 140 bucks a month?

Sorry my bad

108 a month

* $60/mo Voice Plan - cheapest plan with unlimited nights and weekends
* $40/mo MEdia Max 3000 Bundle - includes 3000 texts and unlimited MediaNet which I assume will work as the browse function on the iPhone
* $8/mo Fees - lovely fees

This is assuming you will use the features of the IPhone. If you don't get these, you just got a $600 phone

Is this for real? I only need 1000 texts at most. I'm not gonna need MediaNet either since I'm just gonna use the wi-fi.

Also, I'm probably just gonna get the 39.99 plan since i'm mainly on my phone at night.

Nevermind, i just added up all the fees and it comes to 98 bucks a month.
