Playstation 3 Costs $18 500.

This thread is not needed and you're just as bad as the guy creating the other thread. You are both full of fail.

lol

Now lets get down to the niddy griddy friddy tiddy liddy briddy. 1. Playstation owners now spend at least $400 for their game console. 2. Next they must purchase a headset seeing as sony does not give one out of the box. this should be almost $100 for a nice wireless bluetooth headset. 3. Next, you must purchase a computer and internet connection. internet will be anywhere from 30 to 50 a month and the ps3's ten year plan will come up to $6000 to pay for the ps3s online. the computer will cost a few $1000 not to mention a wireless internet connection. 4. Now, lets talk about a television. If you want to game in hd and watch blu ray movies, you need an hd television set. a good on will cost around 4 or $5000. 5. Now chances are, your going to want video games and blu ray movies. i would estimate that by the end of the ten year span, you will have spent $1000 to $2000 on games, movies, hardware, and accessories to get the full experience out of your playstation. To buy these things will require you to use your car to go get them or use the bus. Total gas and transport costs will come up to $1000 in 10 years. 6. Now lets talk about electricity. ps3 uses alot of power, in fact, it uses $250 a year in electricity, just behind a medium powered fridge. again, the ps3s ten year plan will give the power usage an estimate of $2500. not to mention powering the television and the lights in the room you use to play your play station. 7. Maybe $500 to $1000 for the sofa you use to sit on while you play playstation. unless you sit on a chair, then $100. 8. Next, it could vary. if you have a tv and a playstation, chances are you need a room or a living environment to play it in. you may need an apartment or you may need a house. this could range from thousands of dollars, if your renting or even hundreds of thousands if you purchase a house. PS3 = $400 Headset = $100 Computer = $1000 Internet = $6000 Hdtv = $5000 Items/Transport = $3000 Sofa = $500 Electricity = $2500 Living Space = i will not include this but just know ps3 costs alot more had i added this amount in So the question people need to be asking themselves is not "is the Xbox 360 worth $1850? but is the PS3 worth $18 500?failstation

Hey, the 1st word in his name matches this thread.:lol:

2) gas bill for heating to keep you warm

3) petrol/deisel to get your games

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Both are just as much lies as the other.SpruceCaboose

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"] no the other one was stating what you need with a 360 to MATCH what the PS3 offers. this one is saying what you need on either system, and lying about pricesPS3Fanaddict

actually since the ps3 is the best the ps3 is priceless

Most of you are laughing and so am I but I dont think it was a joke thread if he put all that time to writing that. Well I guess that makes it funnier :D

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] And neither are anywhere near reality. You don't need any of that stuff. If you want to play games on a game system, you need the system, a controller, and a game. Thats it (not counting junk like electricity, shelter, etc). Tada!SpruceCaboose

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"] actually no, those were REAL costs that REAL ppl had to pay for. 100 dollar headset is not.PS3Fanaddict

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] You are mistaking needs (a system, a game, a controller) with wants (HD movie player, wifi, etc). They are not the same, and if they are not needed, then they are not factored into the cost. SpruceCaboose

Lvl 1 with 1 post named failstation writes obvious flamebait topic, but the topic doesn't get locked, nor does the obvious troll get flattened by the ban-hammer, yet we lose posters like Dreams-Visions every day for some trifling BS. Whatever you mods are snorting, break me off some of that. jjenkins78x

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"][QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"] wifi is a want? lmao. it is a need in my house, and im sure many others, nice try thosargentbotk

Thanks god for this informative thread, i was willing to spend $18,000 on a PS3 but now that i know is $18,500 i might not get one. What a rip off!!

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"] i said in my house, do u know better then me wut is a need in my house? if i want to play online, I NEED wifi. lemmings and there liesSpruceCaboose

Spruce, how many times have you encountered a brick wall today?sargentbotk

[QUOTE="sargentbotk"]

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] No, its a want. Internet access at all is a want, not a need. Perhaps people need to understand the distinction. PS3Fanaddict

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"][QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] If you WANT to play online. Want is the key word there. If you unplug your router, does your PS3 still work and play games? I bet you it does. And lemming? Didn't I show you my setup yesterday night? How about showing us your setup so that we know you have an idea of what you talk about with the 360?SpruceCaboose

"Want" and "need" are a slippery slope. For example, you can live without telephones, automobiles, and airplanes, but they are considered necessities in our society.

I consider internet access a necessity for game systems, though not Wifi because it is just one method of connecting.

When games have 5 hr campaigns supplemented by online suites that are designed to take up 90%+ of your gameplay, it seems like internet connectivity is a necessity. I seem to recall Half Life 2 not even installing on my PC until I could connect to the internet and Steam.

Nothing is "necessary" if you want to live in a cave and kill dinner with a spear, which is why I hate th word being used in arguments. There is no black and white to this issue.

[QUOTE="PS3Fanaddict"] because if ur gonna say it to me who WANTS to play online so NEEDS wifi, that this is not a need and turn it into a moral need, then you morally dont need a 360 because you WANT to play "basic gaming" lmao who do u think you fooling?SpruceCaboose

They cost that much? I don't think I'm going to get a PS3 now. Thank you for this informative thread, failstation.Floppy_Jim

I agree, I'm glad I saved my money.

I'm also glad that Fad threads are fad.
