so the real cost for the 360 is...

[QUOTE="gamerlifegrace"]

You guys are missing the point!!!

TC is comparing the 360 with all of that stuff. And it shows that the 360 with all of the stuff that the PS3can dowould cost 200 dollars more than the PS3 does.

It proves that MS is ripping people off!!!!!

The BD doesn't exist and not everyone needs Wifi. You are also implying all the extras the PS3 have are needed, when they aren't...

It can be argued that at least the 360 has choice. Some people don't need a harddrive so they can opt for the cheap arcade. Some people don't need WiFi, so they don't need the adapter. Whereas with PS3, even if you don't need or want some of the features you still have to pay the same price. Then again that argument was better before the PS3 pricecut

@garland people like to have a lot of space on their consoles some peoples set up doesnt allow them to have a wired connection so wifi is not pointless imo online services shouldnt cost anything kind of a stupid argument because you just said buy a 200$ model then spend 100$ more for a 120 HDD when you could just buy a 300$ system, newboba707

To be honest, first of all, I prefer the white color on the X-Box 360; I don't feel good about the black color. Second, you can just take an ethernet cord & connect one end on the back of your 360, & the other end onto your computer or laptop (with internet access, of course). Third, PSN isn't exactly up there with X-Box Live, & just because it's free doesn't make it better. And finally, you can get good deals off Microsoft's HDD for space like I said earlier.

There's a poll on SW done by AdobeArtist that shows that there is a split between who uses wifi, who uses cable, and who prefers one over the other.

Everything you mentioned is not needed though I will agree that it does not match the excellent quality of the PS3 hardware. Yes, the PS3 is worth more bang for your buck when you want an overall better piece of hardware. I dont think anyone disagrees that the PS3 is one fine piece of hardware while the 360 is a lot less reliable and less featured.

360 owners get on just fine without these add ons, and it sucks for the ones that need them. Your point has been made numerous times before, so I'd like to say u are stating nothing new.

Blu Ray is not required for games, many people are fine with no wifi so your extra $200 is pointless.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="gamerlifegrace"] I am implying is that why the 360 is costing way more than what the PS3 can do for less.gamerlifegrace

REGARDLESS, cant any of you people see how much more the 360 is charging for the amount of stuff that they have for their console???

Oh give me a break, put that figure in realistic terms and you can still clearly see that the what the 360 is charging for the same abilities of the PS3, is way more than what the PS3 charges.

300 for the xbox +
100 for wifi adapter +
100 blu-ray add-on +
50 for xbox live

You forgot the HD.

So the real cost of the PS3 is

-$299 for the PS3

-$10 for the HDMI cable

-$600 for the gaming PC

Which is $909 and way more expensive then the 360. See I can do that to....

Well at least is $50 cheaper than the PS3 at launch :P

but in the event that you would need it, if microsoft decided to start making games on a BR disc what would you do. and yes the 100$ price is not confirmed and it will probably be much higher seeing that the wifi adapter sells for 100$boba707

Why do you want to pay for twitter & facebook from a gaming console? You can just get on your computer & log in with your free account. I don't need it to buy it on a gaming console. Plus what are you talking about, "paying more money just to play a game that you bought online?" If you already bought it once, you don't need to buy it again.

300 for the xbox +
100 for wifi adapter +optional
100 blu-ray add-on +WTF?
50 for xbox live

Irony coming from the TC. We can say the same from the OP....

[QUOTE="gamerlifegrace"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] Haven't we already gone over that these items aren't a necessity? Seriously, I don't understand why this is so hard to understand. Do you think its some sort of victory that Sony charges less for these esoteric items? How does that reflect on the "real" 360 price when you both admit these ideas are hypothetical?Danm_999

Thought you were serious for a second

[QUOTE="boba707"][QUOTE="Danm_999"] But they don't have. You promised a 'real' cost analysis for the 360. Yet you threw in items that are purely luxuries, and some items that don't even have real prices.Danm_999

now youre just overreacting. Im done with this thread.

[QUOTE="Danm_999"][QUOTE="boba707"] no they dont have to but they do and if they want to they are there, unlike the 360 where you have to spend an extra 200$Odrec

if one wanted their 360 to do what the ps3 does it would be more costly then to just buy a ps3 that is factboba707

What if you don't want your 360 to do what the PS3 does?

How about no! Wrong you are, silly noob.

360 + Live = $350. There you go, happy gaming.

The REAL cost of an xbox 360 is the price of the console, plus tax. Plain and simple. If you want your 360 to do everything a PS3 does, maybe you bought the wrong console from the jump. And even then, you still miss out on exclusives features and games that are only on Playstation.
