Sony says M$ legitimizes PS3's hi-def features with elite X360

Sony says:

http://blog.wired.com/games/2007/03/sony_responds_t.html

So let me get this straight... this new unit is like the PS3 with a larger hard drive and a headset, but without hi-def movie play back included, no tilt control, game discs that hold 5x less content than Blu-ray discs, $50 a year for online play instead of being free, and it costs only $20 less than a $500 PS3? Well, perhaps they'll add those features in next year's Super X360 Turbo: Hyper Fighting edition.

I love how all this news is here and nothing is even official.

As for Sony...I won't bother bashing them, they do a good job themselves.

It's all about options.  What the hell is someone without a HDTV going to do with a ps3 that is capable of HDMI?  Waste of money.  What the hell is someone going to do with bluray without a HDTV?  Waste of moeny.  What the hell are you going to do with a 20-60 gb hard drive if you don't download demo's or care about backwards compatible content?  Waste of money.

MS gives options.

So Sony was right in implementing HDMI, HDD... and focusing on HD, that M$ had to follow along. You go Sony!!FFVII_Madness55

And MS was right about Online gaming. Achievements, downloadable content, friends list.

NGS = pretty much a port from the original...360 users get the next NG, with no mentioning at all about ps3 getting it.

DMC4- cows got pwned.  This franchise was made for Sony, and now it's headed to the 360.

GOW3: are you going to try and "pwn" lemmings with unannounced games?  That's pretty sad.

HS: no reason to believe that this game won't flop.  All you've seen is graphics.

If Sony is such an "elite" system, how come most multiplatform games score lower, and how come after about 5 months it has still failed to produce an exclusive AAA game?  I don't see anything so "elite" about 7.9 Motorstorm and flopped Resistance.

WOW...ELITE at it's finest!

Oh yes and in the ps3 life time they won't redesign it like the psone and ps2? Bite me.Zenkuso

That is only $26 more than a PS3 but you get a bigger HDD that is twice the size, a better Wi-Fi, a year of XBL, a controller with Rumble, and HDMI. :)

So M$ forces gamers who want HDMI to buy a 120 GB hard drive? What happened to choice that they bragged about? They are charging $20 less than a $500 PS3 and they force you to get a larger HD over high-def movie playback. Poor decision.larshaun

ugh..now you are just being too picky.  How many different systems do you want them to offer?  Are you expecting a 4th consolew ith hdmi and a smaller harddrive?  Wow, give MS a break.

Unfortunatly for you, the world doesn't revolve around what YOU would rather have.  I know it hurts to hear it, but you have to believe me when I say it's true.  You have to consider the millions of other people who are interested in consoles.  Are you telling me that with all the mixed incomes, all the different work-loads and school-loads, that it's best to charge a standard price that meets the hardcore gamer as well as the casual who will only play "once in a while"?  BS. 

While the whole "IF YOU WANT IT, BUY IT" concept might sound great to you..you have to consider that companies will completly disagree with this approach.  They want to reach casuals as well as the hardcore gamers: hence the options.

Take a marketing class.

Well...that leaves you with the nintendo wii, and even that has rumors going around about being upgraded.  So basically, if you want to side with a company that only offers ONE system, you are screwed.

It does. Microsoft has done for Sony what Sony has had trouble doing for themselves, and that's legitimizing PS3's price tag.KeyWii

NO.

Nobody ever argued that what the ps3 was offering for $600 dollars was a ripoff....hell, the thing comes with a bluray drive!  They argue that it's stupid that there are only $500-600 dollar versions instead of putting something out there that caters to what the competition is offering...which casuals will loudly agree.
