Is it fair to compare the $400 dollar PS3 to the $200 360?

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]How is it perfectly fair when it doesnt give you the same as the PS3?Animal-Mother

well then those people will miss a full console experience thenAnimal-Mother

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]well then those people will miss a full console experience thenIronBass

I have an arcade model and it's perfectly fine. :?

[QUOTE="rybe1025"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] The fact of the matter is. We for gamers look for experience. I do indeed take note that there are people who just play games and what not. But as I said essentially at the end of the day certain people will need things like a hard drive or wireless. Thats just the fact of the matter. Also It is not fair for me and the thousands or millions like me who like to game. We need the hard drive. Some of us need the wireless. I live 2 floors above my router. Colleges are starting to become all wi-fi zones. The fact of the matter is competition breeds similarities. Regardless we I want a full rounded experience on all my systems. Animal-Mother

[QUOTE="BioShockOwnz"]

Perfectly fair. It may have more added features, but it plays comparable games, and it's also competing direcly with it, so it's all fair game.

Animal-Mother

You're right. It's not fair. In games like COD4, RE5, Red Faction and Ghostbusters $200 gives you more.

People HERE on SW continuously say how the 360 gives you the same experiences for $200.00. I fail to see how it gives you the same experience when all the features on the system are void.Animal-Mother

In essence the same experience.

"In essence" meaning all of this, and this.

I'd prefer to compare the Pro to the PS3, add in Live and it's $350 vs $400. That way you get virtually the same experience (HDD & online) and it's still slightly cheaper. To answer your question I guess it's still "fair", yes.Floppy_Jim

I Do, I use it as a blu-ray player. I use it's wireless. I use it to upload movies and so on and so fourth. Animal-Mother

That makes up for the lack of Blu-Ray and built-in wireless. I would hate to play games online on a wireless router.

So i have a question people buy systems for multiplats now?Animal-Mother

Eh... yes.

People buy systems for games.

Multiplat or not. Games.

Dont worry these guys are the same guys saying you buy a console only for exclusives (PS3 for example), now they are saying multiplats to match their arguments.

I bought my PS3 for PS3 exclusives and multiplat games where the PS3 version is better.

I bought my Wii for Wii exclusives and multiplat games where the Wii version is better.

I bought my 360 for 360 exclusives and multiplat games where the 360 version is better.

[QUOTE="rybe1025"]Ok Like the post above I said you created this thread and still have not given a good reason why the $199 360 should not matter. You only reason is people can not download the arcade games. Now you are talking about multiplats and whatever. Im going to go eat.rybe1025

[QUOTE="Animal-Mother"]What game did you buy your system for a multiplat or exclusive.

which makes your point null and void.Stoner-Pimp

BEcause you brought it up.Animal-Mother

Did I? Nope.

I said both offer in essence the same experience since both (Arcade 360 and PS3) can play a lotof quality games(multiplats, but exclusives too, my first link included exclusives). Games.

That was my point.

It had nothing with what's more important, exclusives or multiplats.

I don't see why the $400 PS3 can't be compared to the $200 360. In the end, I have to pay $400 if I want to play games on the PS3, there is no cheaper alternative. I only have to pay $200 to play games on the 360. All the extra really isn't all that important honestly. The $400 PS3 is a better deal though but its still quite expensive.

I like how the TC is ignoring all my posts.

How many online only games are there on the 360? I was under the assumption that even if I didn't play the online component of a game, the disk would still run on my system. Is this incorrect?

You all forgot one small detail:

The PS3 doesn't come with HD cables

You need too buy some if you want HD and Blu-Ray the way it was meant too be.

Arcade 360 = $399.99 PS3

It doesn't matter if the online part is still on the disk and the game still works etc, my point was compairing the SP part of the game (which is all you could use at $200) is not the same as compairing the SP & MP parts of the game which you can use with the $400 system.Stoner-Pimp

[QUOTE="stylesPS3"] how does a different kind of cable take away from any content in the game like not having online does?stylesPS3

Yes it is completly fair just because Sony was stupid to include BD and Wifi and force its consumers to pay for these features.

We'll go with MW2 on this one *clears throat* If I don't have a current gen console right now what sounds more appealing getting the super hyped MW2 and a 360 for $260 or getting it for the PS3 at $460.

You can still hook up your 360 to ethernet cable

you get a month free Live

You don't need the HDD to play online

No one cares about BD

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="Stoner-Pimp"] Then his/her point was put wrongly as he/she was clearly trying to show that you get the same games for the half the price console which you don't when you factor out all the online components. --- In answer to the TC question i say no it isn't fair to compair them as it's just like compairing a 360 arcade unit to a fully featured elite 360 with a gold subscription, it's 2 completly different ball games.Stoner-Pimp

How many online only games are there on the 360? I was under the assumption that even if I didn't play the online component of a game, the disk would still run on my system. Is this incorrect?

So? I just want to play the game, I'm fully aware some of it can't be accessed when I bought it. Its common knowledge by now. I won't get into a price war like some people in this thread are doing but the fact is if I buy an arcade, I can still game on it. There is no gaurentee I would use online on either system so why exactly is it some sort of deciding feature? I'm just wondering, since experience varies person to person, using it as an argument is rather weak.

[QUOTE="Stoner-Pimp"]It doesn't matter if the online part is still on the disk and the game still works etc, my point was compairing the SP part of the game (which is all you could use at $200) is not the same as compairing the SP & MP parts of the game which you can use with the $400 system.IronBass

Dude, if I bought a 360 and I'm serious about it, I'm not buying games with online focus. I'm buying single player games as a first thought. Anyone who buys an arcade knows what he or she is getting into so saying its an inferior experience is just BS since it assumes they'll use the online to begin with oreven wantedlol.
