Cerealsy, the Xbox 360 is by far the most expensive console.

Yea, you can get the console for $200 and the price of xbl really isn't relevant since its spread out so thinly over time, but come on: there's so many games for it.

A little big ago there was tales and viva pinata. Then some cool arcade games came out (braid, castle crashers, bionic commando, megaman 9, etc.). Upcoming we have Banjo 3, Last Remnant, Fable 2, Dead Space, Left 4 Dead, etc. and that's not even the tip of the iceberg.

And hell- itll suck your money in. I passed by gamestop the other day and say kameo for $10 and PDZ for $8. I snagged both. That's $18 right there when I wasn't even planning on getting a game.

Can anyone honestly deny that the 360 isn't the most expensive console out out the bunch.

what some people call "the holy 3" (lol, not really, but i am this holiday)

Banjo- $40

Gears 2- $60

Fable 2 - $60

---> That's $160 right there!

Terrible argument, as all consoles have quality games to buy... but I have seen Kameo at my local Gamestop for 10 as well, and I really want to try that game out. It's crazy how cheap some of the 360 games go for it Gamestop.

Not that I'm complaining, but this confuses me. Ie Lost Planet for 10, Kameo for 5, Bioshock for 25, Fear for 10, GRAW for 5, are just some of the prices I saw today. I've never seen a Wii or PS3 game that cheap :?

I don't know man, I've actually found the 360 to have some of the least expensive games of any system, due to the number of retailers and e-tailers competing over the gaming market.

The 360 simply has more titles to choose from. I love the Wii, but due to the limited selection Galaxy and Brawl will likely be ELITE titles on the system far longer than most titles on the 360 will.

True, I still see launch titles for full price :?

Well it definatly does add up, when you consider that the harddrive, controller cable, wireless, etc aren't standard, so you have to buy the terribly overpriced 360 versions, but I just didn't bother, it plays games without all that stuff.

It's a clever little dig at the people who used to list all the various available addons when calulating the 360's price.

No need to get hot under the collar over it.

Are you saying that by having many good games, and having to 'pay' for those games is makign it expensive? I mean, if those games were on PS3 do you honestly think you'd get them for free or something? Come on dude, you have to pay for games no matter WHICH console you have.

EPIC FAIL

360 Arcade = $200

360 Pro = $300

80 PS3 = $400

Thats IT. No factoring in optional accessories or games. Thats all CHOICE. The above prices are all that matter.

360 has better lineup now, but I have faith that that will change to the PS3. I think PS3 is better value on hardware (and free online) you get without taking games into account (again the games situation will likely change imo). Post responds to this with something I can't argue with: 360 has better lineup now. Those who can't see the sarcasm in this post are the ones who fail.
