You will have a trash 360 and probley wont be able to find a Wii. The arcade 360 is for the so called casual but it wont be able to play some of the casual games like in the movies. That is one of the worst things you can do to a consumer sell a product that does not do what it is suppose to do or is not 100% compatable. Besides the fact that 80s are now $399.

Yeah, they get MGS4 which is a lot better than what comes with the Arcade and the Wii in terms of games...plus BC...if you want to compare atleast you a Pro 360.

I thought they stopped selling the mgs4 bundle, the only one i see is the basic 80 gig ps3 bundle for $399. and if you were talking about the mgs4 bundle (if they are still/going to make them) you shouldve been more clear in the title.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site//olspage.jsp?id=abcat0703001&type=category

yep, the only one listed is the $399 bundle.

So, you twisted it to fit your argument?

I think the fact that you can buy a PS3 400 usd is pretty important to mention.

Wow...if you can find a MGS4 bundle new at some store I suggest you grab it. I checked Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy, Circuit City and Radio Shack. Unfortunately the only 80GB PS3 I found is the 399 model. And I'm venturing a guess here that, over the holidays, many sales comes from things like parents giving them to children, or people giving them as gifts. Who would buy someone two consoles as a gift?

i dont really see how im owned, considering you're wrong about there being an 80gb mgs4 bundle still available in stores. the way I see it, you're just increasing your own self-ownage.

Eh, it's what fanboys do. It's in their nature. I even find it comical in a way, with his two hilarious posts, he's trying so very hard to bash the PS3 with these flimsy hypotheticals and outdated arguments.

TC, if you really meant the MGS4 bundle, then why didnt you just mention the lowest price PS3 SKU that costs 399? If you are going to compare the 360 Arcade that is the cheapest version, why wouldnt you do the same for the PS3?

Pretty much every 360 game needs a save file so it is usually a better idea to just go Pro.

does $50 one way or the other completely negate my point? two consoles for $50 more then.. does that make the ps3 any less overpriced?

HAHAHAHAHA...:lol:

I expect the 360 to finish last this holiday, just like last year. Maybe 2nd in the U.S. Last WorldWide.

But I'll be Playing Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles and RFOM2. Not Sales figures.

Demos, DLC and XBLA games take up a lot more room and usually hook people pretty quick. I know I enjoy having a harddrive. I wasn't expecting to get DLC or XBLA games but boy was I wrong.

You mean the PS3 bundle is going to be hurting this holiday.

Because you didn't put the wii and the cheapest 360 agains the cheapest PS3. Which, btw, is much more capable than the cheapest 360.

How do you know what people will buy? You can see the future? Are we playing the Wii60 crap again? Seriesly? This thread is nothing but the prediction of some fanboy. How about you gloat after its over and you have proof. Not EVERYBODY is gonna buy a Wii and Arcade because they're cheap. Some lems and sheep take EVERY casual shopper as series idiots. You guys are thinking to hard into things. Its a reason why Wii sold a lot and its not just because its cheap.

hmmmm thats odd...real odd. last i checked i picked up an arcade i could play all games except 1 or 2 which are mmo's or specifically have tied in dlc... so basically what you've said is a lie, a very big lie, that if you buy the arcade you cant play games..which is what the 360 is ment for..games.

Its odd all the people againest the arcade in this thread, and what do they talk about? DLC? movies? yet they never mention games....odd last i checked most casuals will not be interested in dlc, or movies they are gonna wanna play games...and the arcade can do this.

Well, stand alone players cost $399 and up.

And what I meant is Ps3 offers everything those systems do out of the box and more.

I got both consoles (360 & Wii) but even though the PS3 is much more expensive, at $399 it still offers you much much more than the other 2 consoles combined..

If gamers get a 360, most probably they want to play online so you have to keep in mind the extra $50.... and also none of these comes with the current HD main format which is Blu-ray... Important to mention also that all PS3 models have a built-in HDD.... So PS3 though more expensive is still great value for money for what you get...

Games are irrelevant in this topic since we're talking about prices, and by xmas time, all 3 consoles will have a great library with many games worth getting...

NB :- Its still great though having the 360 & Wii coming at these reasonable prices and will surely attract more gamers to get these consoles...

um hows this sound

200 plus 250 =450 you dont need to buy memory or a game, 360 arcade comes with mem card get hdd later

ps3 is 400 , but add a game , 10 dollars more there and you want hd gaming buy the cord needed lol

30 dollars there,

and lets just say that bundle may not be in stock no more

so ya fanboys ,,

buying the game would cost you as well as that cord youll want for your precious blur ray movies and games lol

another bad thing is if you move your ps3 from a hd tv and try to play it on sd tv it wont show up if you had it set to a hd one take it to a hotel try to play youll find out because sony didnt make a hybrid cable like microsoft and nintendos works as it does not use hd lol,

so ya

another thing i definatelly gonna point out is which combo are you gonna want

one that opens lots of exclusives to your door,

or one that opens not so much

llol

ps3 wii or wii 360 ill take the later,

lol no brainer there mgs 4 is not worth 500 dollars that the bundle or just buying it alone costs itl

for 500 dollars i can actually get 2 wiis i did lol

or just less then that 2 360s

i did, i got 2 360s and 2 wiis

but i do have a ps3 just to be clear i didnt get screwed like those who waited but still i feel ripped off bc i payed 600 dollars for no good games to play lol ,

dont start menioning games i never played before like little big planet the last time i saw a game like that was not a good one thats lairlol 4.0 reminds me

or dont go oh mgs 4 well how about this , timesplitters 4 halo 3 gears 007 quantim of solace red steel

farcry vengance cod4 ff i can get this plus more with a wii/360 combo then i can with a ps3 360 combo or ps3 wii combo alone

lol

wii has 1000 plus games in this very database

360s got near 900

ps3 gots just near 500

lol

which would i choose if i were to only been able to buy one,

wii

2 wii and 360

see wii is the main console of choice for me

i like lots of games not little amounts of hyped games like mgs4 lol '

games were ment to be fun not a peice of art

ok

yes to the developers its art but for us gamers , if we were to play a game it has to have good gameplay and look ok ,

it doesnt need to look like a movie and play like junk also it has to last a longer time

seriesly, you guys are still on this Wii60 BS? also, btw, very unfair comparison. but whatever helps you sleep well at night, thats if you even sleep, you make threads every second.
