I don’t think the PS3 is that expensive. Though as a game console comparing to X-box I do admit x-box does has their advantages doe to Micro$oft’s partnership. but still, if you notice all the add-ons that came pre-installed/inter-graded with the PS3 you will sure notice if you want the same thing on an X-Box it will go up for higher price then the PS3.

Not many people like to see this part of the product, once they see the killer price tag it isn’t good for them. But if you really take time on why it is expensive compare to the x-box then you know that in most point the PS3 is ‘much’ better then the 360. You get more, lots more fearture from the PS3 then you can even imagine.

In the end I think you are will be spending a lot less for a PS3 then an x-box.

Eye. it definitely makes sense for people to make choices based on their own desires. I can’t hold that against you. I’m not huge on PC games myself, but for some PC is the way to go.. it all depends on what your needs are.

#1 The kid was “bored” sounds like an excuse not to have any responsibility.

#2 I must agree that the shark tank of console manufacturers will continue to divide the gaming community with their gimmicks. It IS counter-productive to argue over X-Box versus WII versus PS let alone Chevy Versus Ford. It inflames our passion for what we THINK is number one.

#3 I’ve been building PCs since 1993, so now I should be considered biased, BS, but some will disregard anything I type henceforth based on that statement. I hold no hard feelings towards those of you who do.

The point is this; I build what I WANT driven towards the genre of game that I play and the applications I run. I choose not to go the way of the console because I feel anyone else telling me what I want will be futile. I feel the need for flexibility, meaning if I have an old Mainboard, I reserve the right to Upgrade and hopefully I will reap the reward of seeing my system performance increase accordingly. (I also remember the rush I had when I hardwired my first 2-speed CDROM into my “Non-Compatible” 80286 PC back in `93)

Have fun, that’s the key, if ever we forget how to game because we’re too fixed up on the box we own, we have missed the target.

Playstation 3 is ridiculously expensive and games on both 360 and PS3 tend to lag and suffer performance-wise on the PS3. However, the upcoming PS3 games such as MGS4 and SH5 really interest me.
Xbox 360 is built like crap. What is Microsoft’s problem? I definitely would never put down money for a console that suffers the hardware failure rate of the 360, no way. They seem lately be recognizing their problem, and hopefully it’ll get better in the future.
The Wii doesn’t have a single game that interests me out yet that’s exclusive, and doesn’t have any coming out in the future except the new Smash Bros. I don’t like the remote control at all, it gets on my nerves as a gaming device.
Meanwhile, in PC, we’ve got the new Half Life Orange Box, Bioshock, and a few other PC focused games coming out soon, as well as innumerable fan projects I’m excited about such as Deus Ex: Reborn and the HL2 mod Zombie Master, which will soon be on version 1.2.0. All this delicious gaming on a machine much, much cheaper than a PS3, about the same as a 360, and with much more functionality than either.
I’m gonna have to agree with layton’s comment:
Consoles are all evenly not that great. PC owns all.

I played Raving Rabbids on a Wii 2 days ago. Must be played with 1 or more friends. It owned all. Even considering getting a Wii before my 360 (Halo-3 fast approaching).

mx thanks lol

xx_matilda)xx,

I would say on a personal level, I prefer the hardware side of the PS3 and the game library side of the Xbox 360. People that read my stuff know that I am not a Wii fan, but I do believe the Wii is a viable system for some gamers.

We all definitely take sides as gamers, but there’s no point in taking an opinion to the extreme considering each system has it’s own set of bonuses.

I personally prefer the PS3, this opinion is based soley on the cold, hard facts and hardware comparisons of both consoles, i know people who prefer the xbox but that doesn’t mean we take our preferences to such an extreme as this stupid little kid did. The furthest it goes is a friendly debat but at the end it’s settled by accepting each others difference of opinion.
I don’t think this “console war” is helped by certain games only being released on one of the two consoles.
I think this incident was just a stupid, opinionated little boy being just that.
Considering gaming is meant to “unite” players from all over i agree that it’s stupid that there has to be such a fued, but at the end of the day it’s two very big companies competing in the same market.

lol, i think someone raised the bar on “fanboy-ism”

“Instead of researching the violent effects of video games, perhaps society needs to do more research on fanyboy fanatics and what causes them to do these moronic things.”

i LOL’d that i completely agree

Yeah, he was so bored!

Doh! dul i hate ps3 so much bla bla

So in other words other people that have a 360, are bored with it and are jealous of the ps3.

I was bored of my 360 so i sold it and got a ps3 instead, now i’m not bored
