Tyson OWNS! ps3-haters

Seriously, he brought up a lot of good points that I've never thought about. The ps3 comes with the wifi, a hard drive, and a high-def dvd. All these things are pretty much essential for next-gen gaming and they are only add-ons for the 360. Add-ons that when put together cost alot more than a ps3. Plus the ps3 is more powerful than the 360 already, so it seems like there isn't much of a gap price-quality wise for the ps3 and 360. If anything the ps3 is a little more economical for what you get out of it.

So take that ps3 haters!!!!

Maybe because you're trying to decide which videogame console you should buy? or you're interested in video games and the subject of the post?
If not then i have no idea why you responded to this thread. Your comment is useless and just taking up space....

Graphics can just get better and better... and better, but it's the same gameplay. I'm still going to press X for the gas, etc.

Innovative gameplay is where it's at, and the Wii is gon' bring it baby.

Thats only if you are going to use wifi, and play HD movies in it, and use the hard drive for more then saving games.


I must say though, I'm very disappointed that the Wii will only be using flash memory you plug in. If you are having a virtual console with onlines games for download, not to mention an always on net connection that downloads new game features all the time....you need a hard drive in there. I'd pay the $10 it would cost them to put a small drive in there

we are reaching a cross roads in gaming right now. As time goes on graphics will become less and less important. we are nearing photo-realism.....after that, then what? It all comes down to game play. Game play is all that ever mattered. Why do so many people continue to love the old NES games.....its because they had to make good games back then, graphics alone couldn't sell that stuff

My guess is nintendo will release a HDD later on or some hacker will figure out a way to use any external USB HDD with the Wii.

Yea, well I am going to get all of the consoles, but the PS3 in like summer 07 if it would drop in price. Also, I will be getting the HHD add-on for the 360.

Also you can really just mod it for about $30.And you can make back ups of your games which I have a clean hard drive on my 360. And I don't watch my movies or pictures or music on my 360. I will be using the iTv for that.

Here's the thing, though... even if the add-ons end up costing roughly the same as the total price for the PS3, what Microsoft gives you is choices. For example, the add-on for the regular XBox that you have to get to play DVDs. Oh man, an extra $25? Sony just includes the price of the ability to play DVDs in the original price point. The end result is this: With the PlayStation, the unit could never be cheaper than an XBox, because Sony has to charge for the ability to play DVDs for EVERY unit. When buying an XBox, Microsoft gives you that option to not pay for a feature you will never use.

So ultimately, my point is this... while yes, the 360 won't be THAT much cheaper than the PS3 if you include all of the add-ons, the difference is that the PS3 charges you for things you don't necessarily need or want in every unit and with the 360, you get the option of not paying an extra X amount of dollars for the ability to do something.

What is it about the console war that brings out the best in people?

on the whole ps3 thing, sure, there isn't much of a price gap when you look at it from a logical capability standpoint, but the general public isn't going to see that "599 US Dollars" price tag and say, 'Golly Gee, I need to mortgage my house and buy THAT because it's cheaper to play my blu-ray discs and i would be paying nearly that much for an Xbox360 with addons anyway so I might as well buy it and play metal gear solid 4'.

We might, (and trust me, if i can sell enough body parts to buy one at launch, I'll bring the tent to whatever gamestop you're at and we'll set up shop) but I can't see the majority of people who bought a ps2 just to play Madden every year jumping for it.

Personally, I'm buyin a Wii with Red Steel and maybe fetching warioware (is that launch? idk)

But I'll probably get a ps3 eventually because nothing makes me happier than Metal Gear Solid (even if snake's dying of oldness and has a ridiculous moustache).
