Yeah, they need a price cut. I need a price cut so I could buy one ;) .
|
unless they are giving them away for free i'm still not gonna buy one. I'm happy as a clam with my (working) 360. I'm also thinking about getting a Wii. For the price of 1 PS3 I could buy both the 360 and the Wii.
|
^^^ and have some money left over.
|
I have used my PS3 more in the short time I have had it, than I have used the XBox360 over the last year.
Other than PGR3 and a few games of Fight Night3, the Xbox has not lived up to its hype. The PS3 is useful and usable as a web browser, BluRay player and gaming system. I'm upgrading the 20GB harddrive to a 120GB one this evening.. I can't even attach a USB device on to the XBox360. Oh - and no 1080p support either ;) |
i doubt that a 10% cut will increase demand that much...not until new GTA of GT5 comes out will i get one...or some good game...
|
^ Yeah exactly. Better than nothing.
I am waiting for Grand Turismo and Metal Gear Solid. ;) |

ummm what are you talking about, i can understand that if you don't play one system over the other, but there is really only one game that is holding the hype of the 360 and that is Resistance. but even that nothing hasn't gotten the greatest reviews. Also a lot of games that were going to be just for the PS3 aren't anymore. Sony is going to fall. |

No web browsing, no backup ability, no external hard drive support, no keyboard support etc etc etc. After careful analysis it turns out to be ntohing more than a very expensive XBox.. which is a pity, as it could have been the hub of home entertainment, much like the PS3 is turning into. The upside is that the XBox360 sees so little use it may end up lasting longer than the PS3 - if only because its never actually turned on... ;) :P |
most of the store here in canada has raise the price
haha from 659 to 700 cdn thats going to help sell it better :lol: :lol: |

meh, the us is only an hour and half drive... :wink:
i've decided to do all my electornic purchases there |

I'm happy with mine, as I only use it for gaming, and not surfing the net and such, thats what I have a computer for :wink: . idk, to each his own i guess |
The point is M$ hyped the XBox360 as the "core of the entertainment", not "just a gaing console" - and it has never risen above being anything except a gaing concole.

I never used my PS2 except for games. I don't about about the PS3 yet since I haven't picked one up. But I think personally my priorities would still to get the best gaming system out there. |

I bought mine to play next-gen games, and it does. So I'm satisfied. |

Next generation gaming, next gen movies, proper USB support, HDMI out the box and native internet browsing capabilities.. ;) As I say, we have used the PS3 non-stop since we bought it - the XBox360 practicly never gets used. |

again to each his own :P |
I dont get nuthuggers...
Its ok to have something and admit thats its shit... Why defend it? Like 360s and Macs are shit.....its still ok to have em :P |

I reserved my 360 many months before it was released and I didnt get it until months after it was released but ive never once regreted it. I dunno what you guys are on about but there is a truck load of great games for the 360 and theres like ummm, maybe 1 for the PS3. I bought a gaming console for games, not a pretty piece of machinery for my high tech collection. Im not much of a fan boy i just take whats there. On the 360 I got PGR3, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Saints Row, Gears of War, Rainbow Six Vegas, Fight Night Round 3, Lost Planet, G.R.A.W. , Splinter Cell, etc. Tell me one good game on the PS3 other than Resistance: Fall of Man that I cant get on the 360. Not only that but games to this date are proving to look better on the 360. Just ask Gamepsot or IGN
Dont get me wrong, I want a PS3. That Formula one game coming out later this month looks incredible! But right now the thing just costs way to much and there arent enough good games to justify paying that much. PS3's are stacking up in stores aorund here when Wii's are impossible to find. I got a system that does what the PS3 can and more. 1 year earlier and a lot cheaper. Whos the fool? |

And the lauch price of the 360 was right up there with the PS3's $500 - considering it took a long time before you could buy a 360 that was not part of an expensive "bundle" - but even then any 360 buyer was faced with a $500 to $600 bill once you added in the controller and $60 games etc. So price is really a wash. And I don't care what IGN or anyone elses claims, but side by side on an HD screen, the PS3 looks better than the 360 - not much else you can do. When making such comparisons it is important to be factual ;) not just play the "hype" game as well.. ALl I am sayign is that the PS3 in the month we have had itm, has been used as web browser, Blu-Ray player and gaming console - playing PS2 and PS3 games. The 360 is very seldom used and then only as a console.. and thankfully we never dithced the old XBox, because the really fun titles the family enjoys are not supported on the 360 ;) We have yet to have a PS1 or PS2 title fail to launch on the PS3. Add to that the extensive hard drive, USB drive, memory card and keyboard support of the PS3 (even the "base" model) and you have an overall more reqarding experience... Did we mention steering wheel support yet? :) ALmost a year later and 360 still has no decent wheel. ;) |

As for the controller and games, its the same for any console. You buy the console and games, its no different then the PS3. $60 for games, $40 controller. So by the time you run up the bill it is damn near $800 bill. |
Well to be honest then -
PS3 Basic $499 Remote $-30 HDMI $-20 2nd Cont $-30 Tax $-47 ------------------ Total $626 ------------------ (the joys of open box returns - see $30 remote and controller ;)) XBox360 $399 PGR3 $-60 2nd Cont $-40 Tax $-41 ------------------ Total $540 ------------------ There has been about a year between the 360 and the PS3 purchase. In terms of usage for me, its a wash.. for you it may be different. ;) |

For me the 360 was a better buy, but that is just my opinion. I bought it for the games that are available/will be available. Personally I dont care about the internet access and such as my computer is sitting right next to my 360 and TV. I enjoy the game lineup more then graphic capabilities and such, and I also enjoy price, and was upset that mine cost $400 when the Wii is a freakin deal at $250(?). Fuzion Frenzy 2, Halo 3 (if it is ever released), Forza 2, Battlefield 2, Perfect Dark Zero all caught my fancy for the 360. I know the graphic capabilities on the PS3 are better, but to me that little bit of difference isnt enough of a reason to spend the extra $200+ dollars on the console. As I said earlier, to each his own :wink: BTW, open box deals rule! :twisted: |
^^^ I didnt buy a top range PS3 because I dont need it.
There is no need for the built in memory slots - all USB card caddies work 100%. There is no need to pay extra for a 60GB harddrive - any laptop SATA drive will work - hence me upgrading to a 120GB drive for $100. And there is no need for a wireless adapter, wired is always better. If you want an XBox360 to play the few limited supported XBox titles, you MUST have a hard drive - and since Micro$haft doesnt support ad-hoc user upgrades what exactly s the point of their "entry level 360" again? I have not added a game for the PS3 because there are none that interest me at this time... I have downloded free demos and played our PS2 faves... As I say, the PS3 serves as 3 devices which is great - the 360 only serves as 1. Thats our mileage, yours may vary :) |

I would have be on both sides and don't have the energy :P We can concede different strokes for different folks... |

Also if they have a PS3 price cut then more reasons to get one. I mean think of the deal. But also I wonder when the price cut comes out will they also have the 65nm dies as well? |
Looks like a few retailers are dropping the 20GB version of the PS3.

Xbox 360 is becoming cheaper and cheaper over here. Saw a deal somewhere of Console + 20GB hard drive and 2 controllers for 200 Euros, mind that this was without VAT but still not bad..
Getting without the VAT shouldn't be too hard, but then again getting them to believe the Xbox is for office use is. :lol: |
I dont understand why they would enlarge the HDD if you can do it so easily yourself? Perhaps it is because MS has the Elite 360 with 120(?) gigs of memory.
