In a worst case scenario for me, the PS3 did everything my PS2 could with the addition of Blu-Ray. This was a win for me no matter how I looked at it. So even if I had zero PS3 games, I still can play all my favorite titles on a single console. A 360 for me is not nearly as good of a buy because I have no xbox games. so by the time I finished buying a 360, a HD addon, and a reasonable selection of games, I have easily $800 spent off the bat just assuming I buy only 4 games. Clearly not a good value no matter how you try and paint it.
why did you add the HD-DVD drive in that price, you don't need it for playing games......also I still call Blue-ray the next betamax..... I think it was a very unnecessary move, the PS3 would have been perfectly fine using HD-DVDs at most.
I have an HD TV and I am still perfectly content with seeing normal DVD movies, there is no need for anything beyond that.
The rally cry of the SDF is to add on as much unnecessary sh*t as humanly possible to the Xbox 360 when comparing it to the PlayStation 3 because "j00 haev too match it featurr for featurr." Well, for $400 you get a fully functioning Xbox 360 with a free month of Live and after you add in a $15 Play 'n Charge kit you're set. Oh, the SDF always fails to mention that the PS3, the system that defines High-Definition next-generation entertainment, only comes with composite cables so if you want to output in HD you'll either need to buy the overpriced PS2 Component cables or, if you're smart and have a newer HDTV drop $10 over at Newegg.com for an HDMI cable because only a retard spends $75 for one at a brick and mortar. Wait, scratch that. My last statement is offensive to retards who have done nothing wrong. What I meant to say was total fucking idiot who would gladly pay good money for a steaming hot cup of coffee in the middle of a heatwave.
Typical "PS3 is cheaper than 360" argument:
Take one Premium 360 $400
Add in two 20GB HDD's at $100 each. Well, make that three since the 80GB model is coming soon.
Add on one HD-DVD drive at $200, even if you don't want or need it.
Then add in the Play 'n Charge kit at $15
Oh, and can't forget XBL at $50 a year. Add snide remark about how you'll only need four years of service because that's how long MS supports their consoles. And spell MS M$ because, after all, only Microsoft is greedy and money-hungry.
Then you do the math and "OMG! The PS3 comes out cheaper!!!!"
Well, if you need all that then yeah, PS3 does come out cheaper.
What I say is pick the console that has the games you want, stick with it, and have fun. Just because I don't think PS3's worth my hard-earned money doesn't mean its not worth yours.
