Truthful Console comparison of PS3 and 360

Xbox 360

360 Premium $399
Comes with component cables
1 wireless controller
1 month of XBL gold free
1 wired headset
1 lan cable
20 Gb HDD
DVD Player

Ok with the 360 you have to buy a plug n play at 19.99 to charge the batteries of the controller while the PS3 has a built in battery that’s recharged with the USB cable provided. The PS3 fully supports the HD era with HDMI output which supports up to 1080i, DTS audio and even uncompressed audio. This means that if your audio receiver has HDMI inputs and output you can enjoy audio, video to its fullest capabilities.

Just to get close to what the PS3 offers here what you’ll need to spend

$399.99 360 Premium
$19.99 Plug n Play adapter
$99.99 WiFi adapter
519.97 for Xox 360 without HD DVD
+199.99 HD DVD drive still no HDMI

719.96 For Xbox 360 w/ HDD

PS3 costs 599.99 + 28-59.99 for an HDMI make the PS3 $659.98 plus you get 40 gb more HDD, Bluetooth, Memor card reader instead of proprietary memory cards the Hard drive on the PS3 is also swappable with any 2.5” SATA HDD while the 360 must use either the more costly and slower proprietary or external HDD. Also for a headset I just use my Motorola H700. Who would've imagined that Sony would make somtn that could be so well integrated with out haveing to go buy a bunch of proprietary products .

I am not a fan boy of Sony I have owned all past and current consoles except the Wii and just thought an honest comparison of the two consoles would be noteworthy the PS3 still has a few advantages over the 360 that I did not go into but as far as all practical purposes are concerned the PS3 is the better Console this time around.

I only need $400 to play good games
the $600 flopstation3 has no AAA, and only 1 passable game

wait, i didnt know this, the PS3 only comes with RCA cables? wtf, its a HD SYSTEM the least they could do is pack in components!! and i really dont want a blue ray/HDDVD player( yet anyways,upscaled DVDs look fantastic), so i think that argument is moot for many people.snakeofsolid

So where are the specs for the system that is currently outselling both of those systems put together.  I'll add them for you:

Wii:

Way more fun than PS3

Doesn't play movies

Doesn't cost $600

I stopped reading.

Holy freak, so many of you see a fan boy under every rock. I am merely pointing out that the PS3 three offers more for the buck.

I have had 3 360's and will get another when they stop having the 3 red light  problem cause there are some great games for it. Yet, I unlike some not all but only unlike some of you am glad they are making these newer consoles something that can be fully integrated into an high end audio and video system I have vested some considerable assets into my own system and the PS3 is the only console that supports 1080p, DTS 5.1 and even uncompressed audio. Thus, making it a better deal and as for WiFi and an BluRay player for 1080p movies and uncompressed audio this PS3 really makes my entertainment System shine. 

call me a fan boy I dont care. I am simply sharing my lowly opinion.
