Why buy ps3 for $1200nzd when you can get a gaming pc for that price which would kill the ps3?  ps3 is the most over priced game console ever.  Really who would buy a ps3 when x360 is only $650nzd? twice as much for what? blu ray? and less games.

What money is that? New Zealand Dollars? You know what, it doesn't matter.  A PC or X360 is a waaay better choice than the PS3. Games and all the features a GAMER wants pre-packaged, not to mention online for either of them are mountains better than PSN.

Hm...i'm surprised the 360 is so cheap over there. I'd say get in becauseit has great games, free online (which will soon be about as good as XBL, if the rumors are true), built in wi-fi, 60gb hdd, and Blu-Ray to boot. However, here the ps3 costs only 1.5x as much as the 360, not twice as much.

360 - Best online, way more games then PS3, way better games then PS3. And also a way better line up for '07.

Wii - Fun. Zelda, Mario, etc. You want your girlfriend to play games with you.

PS3 - BluRay. games the maybe will still be exclusive in '08?

Thanks for the calculations, I was about to google a converter :lol: Anyways, the product does not justify the price. At all, not even if you have a 1080p display for HD movies.

typical PS3 bashing thread. Seriously! There's gotta be more excuses! PS3 is an entertianment console, Wii is a gaming console. Choose which one you like.

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

XBL > PSN

Amount of games : 360 > PS3

Amount of good games: 360 > PS3

Amount of AAA titles 360: 5 --- PS3: 0

Games coming out in '07 360 >>> PS3

So basically PS3 is better because it has bluray and a chance to have some good titles in '08?

Why do people bring up these random topics? Its amazing how the TC assumes everyone here is from New Zealand. I can guarantee you without the need to bring out facts that the majority of people on these boards are not from New Zealand so your argument is irrelevant to most people on these boards.

I would rather buy a product from Nintendo or Microsoft. At least I know the money will be going to a company that deserves it. Sony is ran by administrators who steal ideas from their competition, meanwhile they make few innovations of their own. At least MS developed XBL in their image. And Nintendo the Wii in theirs. The PS3 is nothing but a Blu-ray machine backed by some second-rate gaming functions--and 3rd rate software I might add.

It's funny you bring the subject up. 2/3 of the extra hardware garbage on the PS3 is irrelevent to the overwhelming majority of gamers.

There really isn't any reason to buy a ps3, at least right now. I will probably get one eventually, but why on earth would you want one right now? To spend six hundred bucks to play one or two games is pretty steep. I am holding out till that game library gets to at least a pathetic level before I buy one, and I use the word pathetic because thats a huge jump from where their game library is at right now. Hopefully by the time they gets some games out the price will drop.
