ms doesnt really care what happens after you buy the console. they break down, are noisy, and aren't as well made overall. And M$ overprices the accesories by a ton. usually you can get a ps3 accesory equal to or greater for a atmost a half of the price of the 360 accesory

dude... i accept that some things get made bigger than they are, but the 360 is a loud muthaclucker and everyone knows it... hell, the TC is a 360 owner and this whole thread is about why the 360 is so damn loud... so basically, its your article vs the whole world who knows the 360 is the loudest. I'm not saying it sucks, im not saying it doesnt have great games... but it is the loudest.thetruespin

Used to have the games...thetruespin

and what accessories are these? i would like a list please because i have a list all ready that shows the only accesory that is over priced is the wifi adaptor and you can find alternatives easily for cheaper. so what are these accessories that are cheaper?

@truespins 1080p comment
We aren't talking about 1080p are we? we are talking about 720p and last i checked the ps3 had more false 720p games that were advetised onbox as being 720p but instead were faux 720p and downright lies such as being upconverts.
but as for the 1080p i've seen quite a few lists and none of them use the techniques for finding true resolution like line counting they simply use a method of the box saying its a resolution then verifying that by playing it on a 1080p tv and weither or not it says its playing in 1080p.

If you have an Arcade, then the HDD is definately expensive. Though I don't know if i'd class that as an accessory.

the quality (or lack thereof) of the hardware and design of the console might have something to do with it...

20 gig hard drives can be had for i believe 30 dollars, and there is a method though involved to change it to a 120 gig harddrive.

you didnt ask yourself why 360 is too cheap comapred to PS3 becuase its hardware is junk thats why its noisy.

Then that means the PS2 was junk coz it was cheaper compared with the Xbox.

The only way I can think of is to buy it used, and to be honest, I shouldn't have to do that in order to afford the HDD.

The thing's way too overpriced.

Still, I don't really care, I got a 120gb with my Elite :P

nvm microsoft ended that promotion they used to have a promotion for 20 dollars you could get a 516mb memory card or 20 gig hard drive for the arcade or core, but you can still get a 20 gig and turn it into an 120 gig.

installing takes less on 360 then ps3. 360 is noisy coz its powerful like a jet engine

sikanderahmed
I think its because Microsoft designed it in a small and cramped way. They wanted it to be smaller than the original Xbox. Think about all the RROD and overheating problems. The Xbox 360 has a heating issue. And on the power thing the 360 has a better GPU but the PS3 has a better but complicated CPU.
