Who do you all think gives you more

or you can buy a brand new PC, or upgrade yours

You could also buy a PS2 ($50 used), GCN ($25 used) and XBox ($30 used) and $395 worth of games (at an average of $15 each, so about 25 games). I'd take that over anything offered this generation. Especially considering that $500 will only get you 1-3 games for a system.

Charge Docks are not needed for the PS3 because the PS3 IS a charge dock.

"What gives you more" is subjective, as not all gamers shop like you do.navyguy21

200$ 360 then buy a 8gb flash drive for 30$

360 and PS3 are pretty equal so 360 wins

btw not everybody has high speed net dude so xbl and going online isnt for everyone

A controller stand...?

Why not?hexashadow13

Because by defenition, a product's value depends onthe person's preferences.

Exactly. So once again, putting gaming preferences aside, the PS3 has the most value, as it has a blu-ray player.hexashadow13

I choose the addons because they make each conle more like there opnnent

(xbl acrd adds online to compare with free psn)

(ps3 media reader adds two usb ports to compare with 360s 5)

I have tried to make the features of the two as close as possible. I didnt add alot of games because games are subjective and cant be countered were as a bluray drive is clearly of higher value then a dvd drive and 5 usb ports > 2. The prices are also near same.

Ppl are welcome to create there own lists (under 500)

[QUOTE="hexashadow13"] Exactly. So once again, putting gaming preferences aside, the PS3 has the most value, as it has a blu-ray player.IronBass

Yes you can. Pretend both of them can play the exact same set of games. There, you got rid of gaming preferences.hexashadow13

why would you need a controller dock for both of them?

you basically listed two charging alternatives for the 360 side.

Why not? Usually fact based discussions rely on theoretical concepts. And as I am trying to explain what I believe is fact, I think its perfectly reasonable.hexashadow13

The way I look at it is we cant compare which system has the better games. We can compare which has more features however.

Respawn-d

I know that. that's why I argued to why there's a charging dock for both lists.

I know the rechargeable battery is needed for the dock, who buys a play and charge kit for that.... you can buy a battery pack by itself for half, but if we're arguing value, you take the best value. a AA charger, and not for the sake of 'look good and organize' a AA charger takes up less space and has uses in other appliances.

Charge Docks are not needed for the xbox 360 because the xbox 360 IS a charge dock

You really don't need to spend $30 for a docking station for the Xbox, and $20 for play and charge kit. You can easily pick up a set of rechargeable batteries and charger for around $10. An extra pack of 4 NiMh AA batteries costs around $6. That way when your batteries go dead, pop in a fresh set, and use the charger to recharge the old ones.Takes about 30 seconds to swap out the batteries and go back to wireless playing of your Xbox. Works much better than a play and charge kit, or tethering your PS3 controller to the console with a long cable.

I never understand why people try to blow this controller battery issue out of proportion.

Also you don't need to pay $50 for Live to play games on the Xbox. You only need it if you want to play multi-player games. A lot of people game and never play online. I've also never paid more than $30 for my Live cards. Just watch for when they are on sale.

So basically if you are comparing the systems it is

$350 for a 250GB PS3 Slim

$300 for a250GB 360S, + $10 for a battery charger with 2 AA batteries. = $310

So basically $40 less for a 360S, but you do loose the Blu-ray drive. Everything else is the same, except extra USB ports on the 360S, and of course wireless N on the 360s, as opposed to the wireless G on the PS3. Although I would assume Sony will upgrade to N soon.

LOL, who the hell buys a bu ray remote for 30 bucks? i just use the ps3 controller, and who the hell buys the controller charger for the ps3? i just use the usb cord that comes with the ps3. take that out of the equation and buy another game

EDIT: you are correct that it wasnt needed because he had already included the plug n play, but your choice of words was terrible.
