The IA PS3 Fan Club: Population...... ^ those 2 guys.
lol anyways, ya.. they are getting alot more easy to get ahold of. Me and Kristi were at Best Buy last week and they had a stack just sitting there. Nobody was even looking at em heh. They are nice, but fuck payin' 600 for em.. especially right now when they have nothin' really good out.
i was there too, i sold mine for 640$, (got it for 540, 20 GB) after playing it for a month i sold it for that much before people realised they were easy to find now lolOriginally Posted by HyPer50

I'd much rather have the PS3 than the others (yes Ive played the others). Its a way better package if you actually want all its features, which I did. Blu-ray, free PS network, bluetooth, HD gaming, etc. You'd pay more to add these to the others, the few you actually can. If you aint watchin and playing in 1080, you might as well go home.

theres a bit more to games then having it look pretty
if graphics are ur primary concern, why not go watch a movie instead?
they play a role, but id rather have something more fun and interactive
PS3 > 360 though, just gotta give it some time to get games, it has way more potential

But that was partly my point, the PS3 package offers more than the others. I was interested in everything it offers, and use it also.
The only worthwhile gripe anyones has to the PS3 is the game selection, and we all know that is temporary. Price is not an issue when you compare what they come with.
The Wii is a great system for the price, but if they don't keep the game selection fresh, new, and up to date then it will flop. The games is all it has going for it.
If they keep some good titles coming out of it I may buy one also, but I'll probably be spending all my time on the PS3 when its namesake games hit the stores.
IF blu-ray is the winner of the format war, otherwise you'll be paying for a $600 Betamax player, plus bigger capacities=longer load times.
But even the biggest supporters of Sony say its not as great as XBLthe 360 has that

No, the whole system is $500, so you're not paying $600 for just blu-ray.
Second, just the fact that the PS3 has Blu-ray puts way more backing on blu-ray to help insure it survives. What does HD-DVD have backing it?
Third, Just because what happened between VHS and BETA people assume it will happen again. Not likely. The market has changed significantly, and it can easily sustain 2 seperate formats. When VHS and BETA were introduced, it was to a previously non-existant market.
Oh and HD-DVD is inferior to Blu-ray, it only has a 30GB capacity.
Thats a pretty slack arguement, and is not always the case. If you think load times are an issue, you deffinately haven't played a PS3.plus bigger capacities=longer load times.
Secondly, by that logic, the 360 will have the same issues.
Can you prove that?But even the biggest supporters of Sony say its not as great as XBL
Secondly, I should hope its better considering you have to PAY for it.
I personally like the PSN better, and its free.
Yes, and for an extra $200 it has HD-DVD.the 360 has that (HD gaming)
Lets review.
BASE PS3: $500
Includes: 20 GB HD
Bluetooth
Blu-ray
HD Gaming
Free PSN network
Extra costs: none
Total: $500
XBox 360: $400
Includes: HD gaming
Extra costs: HD-DVD player $200
20 GB HD that is actually only 12 GB $100
XBL $10 / month
Total: $700 plus $10 per month and for less capacity and less features
Arguing that the 360 is a better deal just because its $100 cheaper initially is rediculous.

your info is flawed in so so so many ways
the 20GB hard drive is included on the 360 so take that 100$ off of it
and last time i checked wasn't XBL 50$ a year?
also HD-DVD may only hold 30GB and Blu Ray can hold about 50GB but Blu Ray is still not pioneered yet and its formatted from an old codec thats been around. Resistance Fall of Man i think used about 10 GB and the other 40 was filler
space is not an issue right now with games... so you can not tell who is gonna win... and who does HD-DVD have backing them... Microsoft and tons of huge corporations they're about even in backers
i say wait it out and don't buy either until you know which format is gonna come out on top. and get ur facts straight before you try to belittle someone's intelligence

I wasn't trying to belittle anyone. I apollogize if it sounded that way.
But before you tell me to get my facts straight, make sure yours are before you attempt to belittle me.
1. that $50 a year thing was part of a "start up" kit that includes a year of XBL, its $10 a month normally. But whatever, add the $50 to it then.
2. Take the $100 off, and you're still paying more. The 360 guys were the ones that were complaining about price. And you're right, I did leave a lot out, for the PS3. There was an earlier thread that compared them completely and it put the cost of the 360 WELL above what I put it at.
You're right space is not an issue, and I'm not the one that brought it up.
I realize that HD-DVD has backers, they have to. But what I was refering to was the fact that the PS3 comes with Blu-ray, wereas the HD-DVD is an ADD-ON for the 360. The PS3 will sale blu-ray movies since it comes with it, the 360 won't unless the person specifically wants them since they have to buy an add-on first.
You're right, it is to early to know the outcome, but again I didn't start the 360 vs PS3 arguement. I was just pointing out that the PS3 IS the better deal hands down, which is what the 360 guys whole arguement is based on (considering that the $400 initial price is the ONLY thing it out does the PS3 on).
Of course, in the end it boils down to your preference anyways.
