AAaaaand failed already.

Sorry, that argument's not valid anymore - they are now equal to the price of a 360. There's other reasons why I think they suck, but price isn't one of them anymore.

Even on newegg it's $449 vs $399, depending on what Xbox 360 Elite bundle you pick to face off against the PS3 bundles (highest ps3 bundle is $499, but go with the $399 since they don't have an un-bundled version).


Ain't as expensive as it used to be. Sorry bud.

LOL I should have checked the prices before i posted!
Ok then... they suck because of the poor tennis games!
Anyone have a ps3? Do you like it?

[Evocation]

I have a ps3, I like it and the price is the same as the xbox elite here (though you do get more games with the xbox elite but none i liked)

I don't get why you'd want to play tennis or most sports not irl o.o

The PS3 is more play it yourself, where the xBOX has an online community :]

I'm stuck in the middle right now. Xbox has some cool features and more games as well as exclusive titles. However metal gear solid 4 is so far only going to be out on PS3 (and I'd rather have that than any Xbox exclusive at this point). The price (for backwards compatibility) is a little much for me with the PS3, and honestly I think its stupid that doesn't come standard. On the other hand the 360's reliability rate is such that I won't buy one unless they find a way to permanently fix that bug. I feel technology is in such a transitional phase right now its annoying, I mean look at HD vs Blue ray, Plasma vs HD, and PS3 vs 360. Part of me wants to just check out for a year or so until things settle down a bit.

buddy you can get one today for 300 bucks,

as i recall thats what the 360 is going for,

plus the fact the the playstation 3 has more raw power in it than the

xbox 360 could ever even imagine.

Not to mention it doesnt fry discs, melt them or even blow smoke out of its fan,

its called mr.reliable for a reason

sorry for the rant

I don't know about you guys, but I'll never own a PS3, and it has nothing to do with it's quality or price. I don't like Sony's business tactics, buying out the competition's movie producers in the high definition format war instead of allowing the consumers to pick the definition they liked and supporting it based on it's merits. I don't care if it's "just business", I find that extremely demeaning to the customer's right of choice. They were losing. Now we're stuck with the inferior of the two formats.

Am I a nut, or does anyone else feel the same way? :cool:

Buying competition? Looks like you take rumors too seriously. Sony doesn't OWN Blu-ray. It's run by a consortium and they wouldn't have enough money to buy out all of these studios who are dropping HDDVD at once.

That's pretty crazy that you believe such a thing.

So what if they don't own Blu-Ray. Doesn't say jack **** about their business practices when you can look at XCP and MediaMax CD3 and see just what kind of crap they wanted to put on their LEGITIMATE USERS cd's.


I'd like to take this moment to add that I did my part to protest it. I downloaded the illegal copies of any of those particular protected cd's, since it seems the illegal copies did NOT have the protection on it. Sony hurt their own consumers, and actually made it safer to go through the wrong methods to get the music. +1 for Torrents.



He might be nuts for believing the Blu-Ray BS, but he ain't nuts for not supporting Sony due to their business tactics - I'd encourage everyone to look up "Sony DRM Scandal" or "Sony DRM Fiasco" in google and pick your news source. Pretty sure just about everyone covered it at one point or another.
