Overpriced? I think you are in for a rude awakening:
$399 Xbox360 premium + $199 HD-DVD addon = $598
Almoust the price of the future proof 60GB PS3. Xbox 360 sadly still lacks Wi-Fi, HDMI and offers only a 20GB HDD.
If you don’t care about Wi-Fi and can live with a smaller HDD, you can buy the 20GB PS3, which offers exactly the same what Xbox360 with HD movie playback offers, but for almoust $100 less and unlike 360 it’s future proof.
$399 Xbox360 ...
bladestar - That's one of the funniest things I red the last few days. Your post is so flawed and funny, I still can't stop laughing. First learn to read correctly. I didn't suggest that everyone that wants a 360 wants a HD-DVD or uses Wi-Fi. I said "if 360 want to offer roughly same". Yeah roughly the same, namely HD-DVD, a format on which you can watch high definition movies. It's also roughly the same, cause as sad as it is the HD-DVD addon is not as future proof as PS3 and you c...
bladestar - Tell me please how this can be lies:
$399 Xbox360 premium + $199 HD-DVD addon + $99 Wi-Fi= $697
That's the simple, naked truth, no lies or anything. I think people can do simple math and there is no need for Sony to clarify this.
Thammie - As a MS fanboy it also doesn't make sence accusing any company of lying. Your beloved company are the biggest liars around, cause their lies have very bad consequences for their customers. Need any examples?
...
MS must be really scared to talk such smack. As this fella alreadey said himself, the PNP isn't ready yet, so it's the main reason why devs are coming with their own solutions.
bladestar - Sony didn't lie about 360 being more expensive. It's a simple fact that if 360 want to offer roughly same, but without being future proof, it costs more. They just enforced the naked truth.
AudioRage - Read my post again. I didn't post opinions. I posted simple facts. 360 doesn't offer anything besides graphics, cause there isn't even 1 innovative game. On the PS3 we already get 1 innovative game at lanuch and this is the multiplayer of RFOM. 360 doesn't offer even 1 great game which people can't get on PC. Add to it that 360 is already 1 year on the market, that's simply ridiculous.
I said 360 sucks bigtime, cause of the things MS is doing. Ridiculously overpriced pro...
...and you are just too blind to see what MS is doing to you:
1. They are milkin you with Live. Sorry, but online gaming should be like we are used it to be: FREE
2. They are milkin you with HDD. Sorry, but price for a HDD should be like we are used it to be: HALF THE PRICE BUT TWICE THE SIZE
3. They are milkin you with Wi-Fi. Sorry, but price for a Wi-Fi adapter should be like we are used it to be: HALF THE PRICE
4. They betrayed you with Xbox. Sor...
...cause both games are FPS. COD3 is just the thousands ww2 FPS, with the usual multiplayer so there is nothing to get excited about. I compare RFOM to GOW simply cause all MS fanboys do it, but even without comparing it to RFOM 4vs4 is just sad. It has less to do with GOW being a tactical shooter(Counterstrike is also a tactical shooter, but offers 40 players), but more with 360 not beeing capable of more players with such graphics. You should ask yourself why all 360 games offer only max 2...
I totaly forgot GOW is only 4vs4. Poor, poor MS fanboys, that's just sad. Mad we get 20vs20? Haha and your lameass excuses only show that all of you are just lil noobs. Kiddos less players doesn't mean more tactic, it means less fun cause you play on lil, tiny maps or you have problems finding enemies. Everybody who played Battlefield 2 with 64 players knows how much fun is it and how much tactic can be achieved with so many players. You are just lil, mad noobs that are jealous 360 can't drop...
Everybody knows it's you Real Freakio. You got just caught in the act.
As for the HD-DVD addon, it's a total crap and only some dumb MS fanboys will buy it. They will have a big surprise when after 3-4 years they pop a brand new movie into this addon and this crap will display it only in 480p cause it's witout HDMI. Have fun getting screwed and I know you won't have anything against it. Xbox is the best example. I'll never understand this funny MS fanboys LOL
Boy you must be kidding, more players have nothing to do that there is less tactic. You obviously never played BF 2 with 64 players on PC, otherwise you wouldn't talk such ridiculous smack. Your holy GOW with just 8vs8 is a joke compared to that.
PS3 is not a cheap looking plastic hoover which appears to play games. It's all very stylish and nextgen from inside to the outside. PS3 is not a kids toy nor a half assed nextgen system with an oldgen drive, but a high end multimedia system. Thats Sony's philosophy since PS2, they always wanted to create something more than just a gaming machine and they were always saying PS3 is a multimedia system. Many of their 100 million customers have grown up and want more than just a simple console. ...
...cause next to none game devs support it. They are partly responsible for MS having such a monopoly.
Have fun paying ridiculous money for accessoires. Have fun paying for something PC and PS3 gamers are getting for free. If you want a cheap way watching HD movies, have fun using your crappy addon for a limited time. You must really love how Billy screws your ass LOL
Overpriced? You must be kidding. PS3 is the best deal out there, truth is 360 costs $100 more if it just offers this crappy HD-DVD addon without HDMI. Overpriced can be only something that is sold way over the manu...
First of all I have to give props to Virtual Gamer. You are right on the spot and I can only add that this guy is trying to sell some $hit while saying that it's questionable if there is a difference between 1080p and 720p. Every PC gamer knows there is a visible difference, especially if it's such a big one like between 1280x720 and 1900x1080. This guy is surely everything, but not unbiased. Silicon Knights is published by MS, so there goes their objectivity. People who believe this devs and...
its funny that people would still be loyal to them lie after lie, ripp off after ripp off and letdown after letdown.
...otherwise he wouldn't have visions about some devs saying it. He even smokes so much that he denys the simple facts that RSX easily outperforms Xenos in shader operations and dot products.

...if you take the difference between the 2 energy consumptions...which is in favor of the 360...you can add that to the overall cost of the PS3. :O For those claiming the 360 is more expensive because of the $50/year Live fee... there goes a good c...
...Nintendo can lauch with such a number cause wii has old gen technology. That they are selling it with profit just shows how cheap this thing is and from the technological standpoint you surely ain't making a good deal buying it. On other side PS3/360 are great deals, what else can you buy something under the manufacturing costs?
richie007bond - Xenos ain't more powerful than RSX, it's just more efficient. Educate yourself a little before you make such statements. If it would be only down to devs 360 would offer games like Lair, MS and RFOM already long time ago. What's the best 360 can offer after 1 year? An 8 max players on screen GOW, that's just sad.
Any remember how all these 360 fanboys were claiming this pic http://m...

Guess what? You don't have to purchase the HD-DVD add on, IT'S OPTIONAL.
If you want a PS3, Sony is forcing you to buy their unproven Blu-Ray format. You don't have the choice.
So, your "argument", if one could be so generous as to call it that, utterly fails."
Uhmmmm can you choose between DVD and HD-DVD? Nope
Can you choose which HDD...
