If that swamp includes anything non-PS3, then yes... they are in the same swamp.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"] Again, that is twisting hypothetical arguments to fit your needs. The reality is not on your side.PS3Fanaddict

How is it twisted?

did MS have wireless controllers standar or not?

do they build in wifi or not?

do they charge a fee to use your own internet connection which you already pay for or not?

Live is just M$ way of nickel and diming you to death without you even realising it...and it's working. it's the same as this rubbish DLC that's been comming around. alt costumes for SF4? VS mode in RE5? added difficulties in megaman 9? all complete rubbish.

Here's the FACTS. people say for playing game and only playing games the 360 is cheaper right? wrong! not in my case anyways. when i think of playing games i think i of playing online. thus and online fee would be a justified addition to the cost of the console. for the people who do NOT play online, yes it's cheaper. BUT online play is the new big thing with console gaming. all new games REVOLVE around their online portions. therefore online play is obviously important and thus the cost of playing online is relevant. the only one who can argue these FACTS are lemmings.

uber pwnage

No, that is twisting. The fact is that a 360 is $200 at lowest. The PS3 is $400 at lowest. Adding crap is twisting reality, no matter what you want to call it. People acting like Bill O'Reilly...

[QUOTE="thepwninator"][QUOTE="tsep23"]

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10. There is nothing 2002 about Ubuntu 8.10.

tsep23

And I'm running a dual-boot of Windows Vista and Fedora, with some fairy dust thrown in for good measure. Do you honestly think that we care about what build of Linux you're running on your PS3?

Actually yes. Most people that know about PS3's ability to run Linux only know about Yellow Dog which has less applications and doesn't have NEAR the same level of support that Ubuntu does.

You still assume that we actually care about the PS3's (relatively poor) Linux functionality, and you still have yet to explain why we SHOULD care.

Lets take your argument and one-up the stupid factor, If you want a PS3 you better add in the price for the HDTV that can do 1080p and the HDMI cable and the 7.1 surround sound and the optical cable for that too. Now how much is the PS3? See, I can come up with crap that is not important too."

You must be one of the minority of console gamers that does not have an HD TV. My argument is based on the notion that the majority of console owners have an HD TV.

tsep23
Again you would be wrong, just like the entire premise of this argument. I have a 65" 1080i HDTV, thank you very much.

He has as much of a point as you do.

You don't need a PHD to have a PS3. If your refering to the installation of Linux it's not that complicated. The MAJORITY of computer users know how to insert a disk and press next, next, next, finish.

How does the fiary dust augument the performance of your OS('s)?

It makes Vista work perfectly and Fedora magically not necessitate any code-work. Point was that bringing in what OS(s) we're running is kinda stupid.

If os's the case you have just proven we have to add the price of a full equiped gaming PC to the PS3's price! That's at least $3000! And $3400 > $1.850, so end thread!

Sorry man... I just got really worked up today over some articles on G4. I'm tired of all the "The PS3 cost too much" BS. I love G4 but sometimes I feel like I'm watching FoxNews or CNN an election year. The truth is that the 360 costs way more than the PS3. There's no way around it.

SpruceCaboose

You failed at math again. The 360 is less than the PS3. Its only more if you ignore the actual facts and try to twist things in your favor.

O really? Tell that to the 10 million users currently on Xbox Live. Or the millions of users who have purchase the wifi adapter. Or the millions who have purchased an Xbox and a bluray player.

That is ignoring the fact of the MSRP and simply adding junk to a hypothetical example. And its so fail its almost amusing, but alas, not quite.

no actually its not, microsoft just took the people for fools and said at the conference table "hey, instead of taking money at once, lets suck it out with live payments, and necessary accessory payments"

And damn them for making us pay for games too! You should add those to the list of necessary costs as well! That'd add another 1000, at the very least.

Stop trying to get around the facts by changing the subject. I didn't add anything that would also be an additional purchase for a PS3 owner. I just to point out how much 360 owners are spending to get what PS3 owners get for $400.

How about industrial cooling systems like they use on super computer arrays? I mean, you don't want to get RRoD. And also, the cost of a second PC to leave running on Folding@Home to match what you could do with a PS3 just idle in Folding@Home at nights.

No, that is twisting. The fact is that a 360 is $200 at lowest. The PS3 is $400 at lowest. Adding crap is twisting reality, no matter what you want to call it. People acting like Bill O'Reilly...

...You must be a closet lemming. I twisted nothing. the TC obviously went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy overboard. but every arguement in my post was simple fact. there's no way to argue it. developers are building their games around online capability right now. to get the most out of any game these days, in some cases to even play the game you NEED to connect to the net.and to connect to XBL you need to spend $60 a year...where i live. Im the rtype of person to look at the big picture. in the end the 360 will cost more then the ps3. its just that a bunch of small payment always hurt less then 1 big payment.

as for inculding a laptop and all that other garbage, those4 are just simple everyday thing i would have baught anyways. TC is full of fail.I still think wifi should be standard in the 360, would i use it, no. i prefere to connect with cables. so i would save the $80 or whatever the wifi thing costs. I understand the "you have a choice" arguement. but when it comes down to the GAMES. where it matters, the 360 will be more expensive over time if you want to get the full experience. bottom line.

Don't get me wrong, PS3 has it's faults...but this thread is about the 360 so im gonna stay there...for now.

Also I just want to make it clear. i DO NOT own a 360. I own a PS3 and a wii...wlthough i wish i spent the wii money on a 360...lol, even if it did RRoD at least it would get used more that that paper weight. I usually forget i even own a wii. the controllers haven't even been at my house for almost a year now. anyways i have 3 friends with 360 and all of them have had at least 2 RRoD each. in my eyes, thats over a %200 defect rate. and i choose to not buy a crappy made console. the games look amazing, but i can just borrow a 360 and rent a game if i want to play it that badly.

The only exclusive i was really missing was NG 2. but now im getting it in the fall, yay.

Now you're just being ridiculous :roll:. It's much more likely to come by air.

However we should add the price of petrol and road tax, as that will be required to drive the car in the first place.

Your "friend" PS3FanAddict added the gaming PC that is needed to play 360/PC restricted multiplats. You need that, don't you? Far more than you need Live, a wireless adapter, and a blu-ray player, right?

No, that is twisting. The fact is that a 360 is $200 at lowest. The PS3 is $400 at lowest. Adding crap is twisting reality, no matter what you want to call it. People acting like Bill O'Reilly...

...You must be a closet lemming. I twisted nothing. the TC obviously went waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy overboard. but every arguement in my post was simple fact. there's no way to argue it. developers are building their games around online capability right now. to get the most out of any game these days, in some cases to even play the game you NEED to connect to the net.and to connect to XBL you need to spend $60 a year...where i live. Im the rtype of person to look at the big picture. in the end the 360 will cost more then the ps3. its just that a bunch of small payment always hurt less then 1 big payment.

as for inculding a laptop and all that other garbage, those4 are just simple everyday thing i would have baught anyways. TC is full of fail.I still think wifi should be standard in the 360, would i use it, no. i prefere to connect with cables. so i would save the $80 or whatever the wifi thing costs. I understand the "you have a choice" arguement. but when it comes down to the GAMES. where it matters, the 360 will be more expensive over time if you want to get the full experience. bottom line.

Don't get me wrong, PS3 has it's faults...but this thread is about the 360 so im gonna stay there...for now.

Did you seriously just call SpruceCaboose a lemming? :| :? :lol:

To get the most out of your bluray/hd ps3 experience, you need a HIGH END LCD tv, a high end lcd of reasonable size (Let's say 60", I know it's small, but yeah, gotta start somewhere), those cost around $2295- for a 1080p, and OF COURSE you need a proper 8.1 crystal sound system, with no tacky wires, $5300-...

HOLY CRAP, PS3 COSTS

Ps3 - $400

Wireless bluetooth keyboard/mouse set - $150

1080p hdtv - $2295

Nakasaki Crystal Sound (Wall Built) - $5300

Total Cost: $8145!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, looks like the wii is the only one under $1000 :(

I paid $250 for my Xbox and haven't spent a single penny on anything else. Your "fact" just evaporated, I'm afraid.

You must not understand logic. You are adding things to the base cost of the game system to make them "comparable". But why not compare them to what it costs them to perform their primary function? Cuz that number (the real cost of the system) does not agree with you. But somehow I am the fanboy? Please.

One of them is inherently broad, however. And, if I remember, you were the one who initially brought in the locations of lemmings and hermits in the "swamp".

[QUOTE="thepwninator"][QUOTE="tsep23"]

And damn them for making us pay for games too! You should add those to the list of necessary costs as well! That'd add another 1000, at the very least.thepwninator

Stop trying to get around the facts by changing the subject. I didn't add anything that would also be an additional purchase for a PS3 owner. I just to point out how much 360 owners are spending to get what PS3 owners get for $400.

Your "friend" PS3FanAddict added the gaming PC that is needed to play 360/PC restricted multiplats. You need that, don't you? Far more than you need Live, a wireless adapter, and a blu-ray player, right?

actually, the terms he is talking under is, What you need with your 360 to MATCH PS3..this has nothing to do with PC gaming...and in fact, you need a computer, because 360 lacks a web browser and many other things. :D

actually it is a lot more. u need a HD tv ($900), then buy a HDMI cable so u can get 1080p ($100), a router so u can play on live (50-200), and then internet access (10-50 a month), a strip to plug everything in ($10), the electric bill. there are a lot of things that u missed.

PS3 lacks a web browser that actually works better than IE2.

It's just as good as having none at all.
