I'm actually impressed with it. I will buy this for sure. Comparisons are stupid. They both looked equal to me. Those who don't have the option to by MS2 will buy this. Looks fun!
"Sony has stated that the penetration for HDTVs is not high enough to warrant putting in HD cables"
But it's high enough to include Blu-Ray?
Bubbles for Montrealien!
YOu don't have to buy the accessories and the pro comes with a headset, HD cables and a hard drive. The only thing you pay extra for is Live, which is no big deal if you are heavy into Arcade gaming. It's something us 360 gamers have come to accept. It sucks, but what I get for the service is well beyond what you get for PSN.
With PS3 you have to buy HD cables and a headset. HD cables don't come with an HD system? That's hilarious!
"Just because MS "might" have more overall consoles sold than the PS3 (in one market) doesn't mean it's really ahead. That is the truth and that is the only proper way to look at it. If a person can't grasp that nor understand it then they are biased or just don't think other countries "count" in that way...which is a very limited way of thinking.

Thanks but your logic makes no sense. 360 has 20+ million sold worldwide. PS3 has 14+ million ...
"Keep waving around the *third place* banner. As far as I can tell, the PS3 is in second place *worldwide*. Worldwide sales count the most for a console war."
How is PS3 in second when it hasn't passed MS in worldwide sales yet? Please explain this.
Deal! They are 300k+ behind Sony RIGHT NOW. They just need to beat them by 80K a month and 360 will win the year in the US...like it matters though.
Playstation F@nb0yz are starting to get worried about the sales surge. Wait until next month when 360 sales are higher than the Wii. Imagine that, 500k+ 360's sold in one month. That means it will also take Worldwide sales which PS3 fans hold close to their heart because they can't get a break in the US.
Digital Distribution of games and movies is here now. To say that it won't be here for another 12 years is just rediculous. Steam is a glimpse of the near future of game distribution. Don't forget PSN and Xbox Live.
Picked up 2 Arcades myself. Probably get a couple more for Xmas presents.
DP is correct. You obviously don't know what you are talking about.
Another awesome show guys!
I'm buying 3 Arcades and 1 Elite. Every room will have one. This is the sweetest deal in history!
Bubbles for all my 360 supporters!
The RROD is fixed. Shutup.
@Juuken - Would you say that Sony dropped their PS3 prices out of desperation? Some might agree with your logic if you would say the same thing about Sony's price drops.
@Cacapoopooloco -
"Why is it acceptable to introduce reduced feature consoles from the start in order to move systems, and not acceptable for Sony to remove features (ones which don't affect the performance of PS3 games) in order to do the same thing?"
While I don't like the Arcade personally, it's a great system for households who only want to experience next gen games. If you don't need Live or video downloads, then the Arcade is the system to buy. I ca...
First off, dropping a price is not desperation. If that was the case, then what was the PS3 price drops called? Charity?
The Arcade has ADDED features, not taken them away. It comes with a Wireless controller, 5 games, a memory card and HDMI. Everything you need to play every single game in the Xbox 360's library.
Stop the FUD!!!! Xbox 360 will own this holiday.
"Xbox 360™ Arcade Console
Play together today with Xbox 360™ Arcade, ...
360 price drop for the win. Finally the sales will pick up again and start smothering the Wii and PS3. We knew this was going to happen and Sept 7 marks the day that 360 takes over.
No MGS has ever been exclusive either.
