LOL. You know fanboys don't wanna hear that but it's all fact. Take off the HD-DVD drive and it's still more expensive. Factor the cost of the shipping and handling that you'll have to pay to get your 360 fixed WHEN it breaks and it's not even fair.

You have to buy many games because they're all over so quick. 6 hours to beat the flagship game? Wow. And why doesn't Halo 3 look better than Halo 2?

You know what? I hope it does, I loved my xbox and it had an underdog position in the last generation so why not have that now. Cows can get a rest and we get our decent amount of great games.

So when yours broke MS paid for the shipping? Sweet. I guess you only had to wait the 2-4 weeks to get it back then? My cousins are still waiting for theirs.

All he's saying is Xbox360 is more expensive IF you buy all the accessories that the PS3 offers out the box. No, Xbox360 is not expensive than the PS3 until the add-ons becomes a factor(keyword).

    Take off the HD-DVD drive, since its worthless. Take off $80 since the Elite is not even close to needed. Take off the wireless adapter and wire the thing. Take off Live, since it is optional, and majority of 360 owners don't use Gold Live anyway.

    So you are at $420 (360) to $600(PS3).

    Adding on might be fun in your heads, but in the real world, its called flawed logic, as every unneeded extra a system has cannot be lumped in to the price of the basic system, or we'd factor in cords, electricity, games, Internet fees, extra controllers, replacement controllers, headsets, etc.

I applaud you for saying the Elite is not needed. Just wanna know why if that's the case why did MS release it? In black no less? How many 360 versions do developers have to develop for?

 As Sony said "we believe every PS3 owner deserves an Elite system."

I didn't make that up. There's really a whole thread dedicated, from demand and not GS mind you, to broken 360s. Good thing the games are so short. If you left it on any longer it'd break.

Ummm....you don't have to buy that sure. I guess you got me. I'll go see how those people in the broken 360 thread feel. Maybe I'll introduce em to the people in the broken PS3 thread.....oh wait, there is no  broken PS3 thread.

Wow. What an awesome comeback. :|

Give yourself a pat on the back.

I applaud you for saying the Elite is not needed. Just wanna know why if that's the case why did MS release it? In black no less? How many 360 versions do developers have to develop for?

As Sony said "we believe every PS3 owner deserves an Elite system."

CyanX73

    I have to laugh. All 360 models have the same hardware and the same archetecture. Therefore, developers only need to develop for one system.

    Only difference is that they cannot assume that an HDD will be hooked on, so they cannot use it in coding.

     Why did MS release the Elite. Well they haven't. At least not yet. But its purpose is not really for gaming, although it is a gaming system and it does play games. No, the Elite, like the PS3, is aimed at being a media device. Specifically for the Elite, IPTV and its demands.

Xbox 360 Elite = 480$

Wireless Adaptor = 100$

Recharge Battery = 20$

Hd-dvd drive = 200$

Xbox Live for 4 years = 200$

GRAND TOTAL = 1000$ !!!!

 

PS3 = 600$

GRAND TOTAL = 600$

 

The PS3 will pull ahead soon!!!! Just WAIT a little longer and you'll see. Guaranteed.

LOL! exactly. All those flopbox's break and they have to pay for shipping, how sad.

 

LOL. You know fanboys don't wanna hear that but it's all fact. Take off the HD-DVD drive and it's still more expensive. Factor the cost of the shipping and handling that you'll have to pay to get your 360 fixed WHEN it breaks and it's not even fair.

Take off the HD-DVD drive, since its worthless. Take off $80 since the Elite is not even close to needed. Take off the wireless adapter and wire the thing. Take off Live, since it is optional, and majority of 360 owners don't use Gold Live anyway.

So you are at $420 (360) to $600(PS3).

Adding on might be fun in your heads, but in the real world, its called flawed logic, as every unneeded extra a system has cannot be lumped in to the price of the basic system, or we'd factor in cords, electricity, games, Internet fees, extra controllers, replacement controllers, headsets, etc.

What? How many 360 versions do developers have to develop for? Lets see, all of the 360's are the same. So, one system to develope for.

Not another one of these stupid theads. What you dont understand is I dont need all of thos add ons to play good games. Why would I need a wireless internet adaptor if I dont have wireless internet. The PS3 forces you to pay for things you dont need.

i believe he's comparing the cost of the systems by using what you actually get when you pay.

Xbox 360 Elite = 480$

Wireless Adaptor = 100$

Recharge Battery = 20$

Hd-dvd drive = 200$

Xbox Live for 4 years = 200$

GRAND TOTAL = 1000$ !!!!

 

the ps3 has all this included for 600 bucks(well all of those or something equivalent.). that is what he means.

most people would rather pay 600 than a thousand for somethin.
