Value List(Why you should have a PS3)

Its initial price is the biggest turnoff. Mostly because gamers aren't aware of its value. So I had made*Drum roll*

The Value List(All information is out of the box):
PS3 has WiFi. So I didn't have to make an internet connection through my house and to my room.(Costs more than a game)

PS3 can play Hi-Def movies.

PS3 can download movies on the web and to the console. In turn, It makes it a better source than the XBL store. I have plenty of music videos on mine.

PS3 has rechargable controllers(Motion Sensors too) and a cord to recharge it.

PS3 has PSN. Free online gaming. Also is creating Home.

PS3 is Bluetooth and USB compatible. So you can use that old mic for your computer or your phone for gaming online. Even those USB keyboards and mice.

It plays old games.

For the $600-

Compatible with some memory cards. Making it a port for music, photos, and videos. Or even a backup file. Save your games on your computer for more room.

60 Gig Hard Drive.

Compared to 360:Lets just start off with accessories to make it somewhat like PS3($600) out of the box(Using BestBuy.com with a search for official Microsoft products)

You're at least going to play this thing for 2 year. So +$100 for XBL(Plus 2 months because apparently microsoft feels special right now)

Rechargable controller +$32 (+$12*# of extra controllers)

If you have a wireless mic for PS3 +$60

If you want a wireless connection, +$100

If you want HD-DVD, +$200

 Prices go to $300,$400, or $480 for 360

The accessories alone add up to $432 without a mic.

With most functionality-

$732 for no HDD

$832 for 40 Gigs less than PS3

$912 for 60 Gigs more than PS3

The Gigs are a bit ridiculous. But for $770 I can buy a PS3 and a SATA HDD for PS3 with 160 Gigs.

Cheap Gaming goes to 360 for the $300 model, but PS3 can have a lot more value. It depends on what you want.

Due to complaints:

For the record, I have both a PS3 and a 360.
With all the exclusives becoming a PS3 and 360 game, I really don't care.But for you...360 top 10
1.Oblivion-On PS3 now
2.Gears-Resistance(I actually enjoyed Resistance more)
3.GRAW-was missed due to late PS3 release. 2nd one is due out later.
4-Rainbow6 Vegas-Due out on PS3 this month
5-Pefect Dark
6-Guitar Hero2-...I don't feel impressed because it was on PS2
7-Project Gotham Racing 3-Motorstorm, Ridge Racer
8-CoD2- CoD3 was released for PS3 on launch
9-DoA4-Virtua Fighter 5 is a temporary exclusive.Tekken 6  is comming. Tekken 5 is available for a $20 download.
10-Burnout Revenge-was missed due to late PS3 release.Burnout 5 is due out on 360 and PS3. Motorstorm is also an arcadish racing game.

In other words, your almighty 360 is mostly running on multi-platform games.

Xbox 360 = $400/Has great games out and in the future.

PS3 = $600/Great looking games in the future and one worthwhile game right now (Resistance).

That's what it boils down to.

 I don't want an Hd movie player, a freakishly large hard drive, Home, downloadable demos, or anything like that. Extras are great, as long as they don't jack up the price. As a gamer, I want to play games. I want to pay for the ability to play and save PS3, PS2, and PS1 games. That's all. Those extras mean nothing to me because I don't want them. I want to play games. If the PS3 released without Blu Ray and with a 20G hard drive, I would buy it. The most I will pay for a PS3 is 200$. I want one, but I do not believe it is woth more than the Wii I already have based on games and games alone.

Some of you seriously need to comprehend everything. I'm not bashing anything because I have the money to get both. I left the options open for whatever you wanted to get. If you want the $300 360, then get it. For me, the $600 PS3 has more value and more games that I am looking forward to than my 360 has given me.

Your guide is wrong. You added the cost of a controller to the 360, even though it comes with one, just like Ps3. You added the cost of a mic, even though it comes with one.mikeiscool98

I didn't add another controller and I forgot about the 360 mic because my crappy one broke :-P

Might I add that PS3 has had a 1 year warranty from the start.

Rechargable controller +$32

But you never mentioned any games... :?foxhound_fox

Games are different for everyone buddy. Go look for yourself. There are some really unique ones. Some of them might crash pretty bad, but there are 2 more where that came from.SirisKurt

You should really take care of your things.  I've had my 360 mic since April 2006 and have not had any problems.

SirisKurt

and the fact u have to buy the HD DVD, extra memory. Siriskurts just trying to get the point acrossed that the PS3 will be a better value for u in the long run, lol once the games actually come out.

Lack of games I want to play kills any value listed for the PS3 over the 360 for me.

I don't need HD movies, but if I want them I can DL them from the marketplace.

I don't need wireless. My house is completely wired with cat 5 which is better than wireless anyway.

I'm more interested in games for my console than a whole lot of bells and whistles. Eventually the PS3 will get there and I will buy one. Until then these value threads need to stop.

There is nothing more valuable to a console than it's games. Nothing.

 It also plays game

you can play video's/music on your computer with the xbox 360, i do it all the time, it just has to be in WMA format and placed in the My Video's folder of the computer. Or if you have Window's Media Center, you can play anything that plays.topps

But you have to have that software.

It cracks me up how everytime PS3 owners talk about their game system all they can talk about is their movie player and not games. I mean really this is not movie wars.When has their been a bunch of threads like these? " POLL: Texas Chainsaw Vs. Grudge" " babal ftw" "Departed screenshots (56k warning)" They do not happen cause these are GAME systems that we all bought. And fact of the matter is 360 has by far best line up. Pretty much best line up for any systems in years. Heck when PS3 has so few good games the cows always have to throw in home and that is not even a game. Or LBP woohoo a map creator or Afrika woohoo you can take pics of animalsEltroz

You guys don't even look at the PS3 games. So why should I even bother with listing them? You can't name even 5 of them off the top of your head. If you could name only one, it would be MGS. Not everyone likes the same games anyone. PS2 has had more than twice the amount of games that XBox had.

Heretix-I'm pretty sure that wiring your house with Cat 5's costs more and takes a lot more time than a wireless set up. As for the games, I'm content with MotorStorm, Resistance, Tekken 5, Armored Core 4, Oblivion, and Marvel:UA.

All I'm really trying to say is that my $600 PS3 was worth it. I use it completely. I wasn't a waste of money whatsoever.
