xbox 360 and ps3 have hardware form early 2005 yet they are still charging as much for them as midrange pc hardware from today the destorys them.

a pc with a fast dual core cpu, 2gb ddr2 800, gefore 9600gt 320gb hdd, dvd writter can be had for less than the 40gb ps3 and for the price of the 80gb you could easily get a 8800gt or even gts.

until ps3 and x360 are under $250 lems and cows can't call the wii over priced

300 dollars is the most I would ever spend on a console, and even that is pushing it.

Just because the 360 has been out for 2.5 years and still hasn't reach the original starting price of the Xbox you think it's overpriced? Think about the warranty they give you with it, that doesn't come cheap.

wow a whole 3 year warrenty, pc componets come with that standard, hdds are 5 years and memory is often lifetime.

Im saying its overpriced because a pc 2-4x as powerfull is the same price

Sure it's missing a BR drive, but the poster's PC have a much larger hard drive, a graphics card thats easily 3 times more powerful than the RSX etc.. so you lose some and gain some

hmm wii over priced , thats new, its really really ironic that you say wii is overpriced, when gc costed only 50 dollars less well not really cause you did have to buy a game, and a memory card, wii you dont ,, at least right away if you wanted, wii sports will do the job for a couple of weeks until your next pay check ,

and i do agree on ps3, but 360 ,, get the 279,99 one, and wait later to get hdd,

and also it comes with 5 free xbla games on a disc,

so theres that,

but ps3 is quite expensive and the new bundle it self konamis, at least is a big ripoff ,, those complaining abou 600 dollars at launch would probably should have just got out and got one,

because konamis, cost 599,99 for a 40 gb ps3, bc less , ya thats right,

but wii and 360s entry machine does not cost alot, even the premiums not that much ,

as for games them selfs, ironically wiis have always been ranging from 19,99 -49,99 excluding rock band and gh , those are pricey due to controllers etc,

and you can find pd0 saints row and a whole lot more 360 games that cost any where from 19,99 -29,99

so there,

as for 360 and ps3 ever being cheaper then wii ,, dream on it will never happen ,

ms and sony dont need one , or much less want to do so, sony would have to make a hd less ps3 to do so ,

a 40 gb which doesnt include alot of the things 60 or 80 gb does, or 20 ,, still runs 400,00 plus tax, i rounded it up to nearest dollar,

so ya youll have to wait a very long time then , for the best versions of 360 and or the ps3 to be cheaper then wii even then nintendo could very well drop the price to 99,99 again if they had to ,

or lower it even more, then any one can afford one ,

and gc was only 99,99 for a long time, ps2 and xbox still costed 129,99 , no one complained then ,, no one should complain now,

stick with nintendo if you want to pay less money for good things,

go with sony or ms if you want to risk your pocket book is what i think ,

what use is blu ray? 2 500gb hdd would do much better. wonder how much a ps3/x360 with a 320gb hdd would cost. probably more than a pc with a blu ray drive.

or....you could go back to playing your pc games while we continue to argue about games that current pc's dont get to play right now (gta4, mgs4, super mario galaxy, super smash bros brawl, dmc4, halo 3, ratchet and clank tools of destruction) i think we'll be able to manage on our over priced gaming consoles just like youll be able to manage without bashing console gaming

Sure it's missing a BR drive, but the poster's PC have a much larger hard drive, a graphics card thats easily 3 times more powerful than the RSX etc.. so you lose some and gain some

Learn tech. I know it. The 9600gt freaking sucks. Oh, and let me know where I can get at least a 2.4ghz duo, 2 gb ddr2 800, a 320gb hdd, and a dvd writer for less than $400.

Here, let me add it up to you off of newegg prices...
Good 9600GT-- $165
Processor(Needs to be a Conroe 2.4ghz, others suck): $230
Motherboard: Approx $50-75
320gb HDD: $70
2gb DDR2 800: $37
DVD writer: $18

Total: $570

Not including case, monitor, sound card, or speakers.

Add $100 for case, and $670.

Now, account for the fact that the Cell processor is 5x as powerful as the best Intel Quad Core out there, worth over $1000. The RSX does suck, but the Cell is more than enough to account for it.

if the 9600gt sux then the x360 is not even worth owning if you care about graphics. the e2200 is pleanty for new games. There is no way the wofdale can cost less in nz$ than the cornoe costs in us$

maybe consoles are cheaper in usa but here in nz a pc with a e2200 2gb ram and 9600gt can be had for the price of ps3
