The honest and fairest comparison to use for BOTH sides is
$300 360 60gb model + 1 year of LIVE! $50 + 1 controller $50 + 2 play & charge kits $40 = $440
vs
$400 PS3 80gb model + 1 controller $50 + HDMI cable $5 = $455
That is the LEAST amount you will spend for the AVERAGE gamer up to the HARDCORE, and maybe even including the CASUAL one as well as too. I added charge & play kits because if you factor in throw away non rechargeable batteries (whi...

@ Floppy's comment in rebuttal to how every little thing has it's own physics ~
"Crysis had it , half life 2 had it , penumbra had it
Lots of games have physics buddy , im sorry your so new to it"
But the 360 NEVER had it! And it's highly doubtful it EVER will! IF it does sometime down the line it will be because MS can only DUPLICATE & not INNOVATE like Sony has and continues to do so to this day after 14 years OR like Nintendo for well over 20! ...
Nice...Didn't even address ANYTHING I said. Now THAT'S truly denial ;).
I had to add this whole part as well ;)
"Visually it’s off the chart - there’s no other way to say it. If you thought Gears of War 2 looked good then be prepared to cast aside Fenix and his friends because it doesn’t hold a candle to what Guerilla Games have managed to wrangle out of the PS3 - not only does it look just as good as the pre-rendered E3 footage from 2005 but often surpasses it in terms of animation and an incredible attention to detail to every single aspect of...
As well as this one
"the only thing people will be talking about is the PlayStation 3 and how it's playing host to the best first person shooter ever created."
As if you should talk or WRITE, Chrisy! "wrights"...Wow. Along with your sentence structure ("why does no"...are you serious?) and grammar being horrendous, this makes for a perfect example of hypocrisy & irony.
You got a chuckle out of me with that one Army...
Bubbles ~ dantesparda, danja, army & reaper. For calling it how it is. Facts are Facts not bs spin misinformation.
Edit: @ChrisGTR1 ~ Are you serious!?!? If so THAT explains a hell of a lot...
@ Karl ~ Desperation? How is it that 1 month in 1 market is being touted as the be all end all? THAT is desperation. Aquanox left out PERTINENT information that applies to the situation...I fix/add what is missing and I AM DESPERATE!?!? Wow. Nice. You really sure know how to TRY and spin things.
@ Jenzo ~ I have a question for you about that, let's see if you can answer it without a bs spin. Okay? You up for it as well? Here goes...Hasn't the PS3 sold more in it's first 2 years t...
LMFAO!!! Talk about DENIAL, CONTRADICTION & SPIN!!!
Here, let me CLEARLY break it down for you "limited intellect" types okay?
Aquanox just said ~
"I never though I'd see the day when Sony fans had to combine 2 or more consoles to essay a spin"
But yet my reply is in DIRECT EXPLANATION OF HIS earlier comment which states
"Xbox 360 > PS3 + PS2
Wii > PS3 + PS2 + PSP
Harsh times...
Actually in the very beginning the first batch was at 84% [failures] and then when in production at their Chinese manufacturing partners it was as high as 68% ~ ALL KNOWN TO MS and they still decided to "ride the learning curve" and start selling them even though there were plenty of warning signs, but they chose to ignore them.
Those who want to read more about it to be properly informed can read all of this
PlayStation 2 410,000
PlayStation 3 726,000
PlayStation Portable 1,020,000
Total ...
Care to explain how I have had my PS3 since launch 2 years ago = waiting for a PS3 game for 4 years?
This is actually almost sad how embarrasing people make THEMSELVES look without any help...all because of bias and misinformation.
Are you ACTUALLY trying to play semantics here? That was an utterly weak attempt to make some sort of differential "point". Wow. Think, believe & say what you want...but you should actually be embarrassed. As you TOTALLY missed the point to begin with.
Hhhmm, I see either of you (vega/patch) failed to mention Crackdown? huh?...Amazing the hypocrisy around here.
And get away with it too. All while other contributors articles are insta-failed when they set things right with factual, verifiable information. Go figure.

This is a PRIME example in line with what BathyJ said earlier
"I can testify the way I've been talked to sometimes I wouldn't tolerate in person. Where I'm from you back up what you say or you dont say it."
If this is the kind of absolutely ignorant, immature, diarrhetic hateful views that comes from a "so called" educated gamer over at Xbox Kings....I don't even know what to say to describe this/them/that other then it's no wonder they are so mis...
@darkride66 ~ Wow! I can truly understand the sentiment.
@IdleLeeSiuLung ~
"It seems to me like you didn't put much thought into your purchase as evident in the fact that you bought the rechargeable battery packs from MS and paid $8.99 a month for 2 years before even noticing! The 360 controllers (like the Wii controller) have the benefit of using regular batteries in which you can get regular rechargeable batteries for it. When the batteries goes bad, you don't...
