360 vs. PS3 (an unbiased value showdown!)

MoldOnHold · 2007-02-04 05:23:20

Let me start by saying that I like (and am getting) both consoles. I'm just making a point I found interesting.XBOX 360Premium system ($400) + 4 years Xbox Live (assuming that's how long the 360 lasts....$200) = $600PLAYSTATION 3Premium system ($600) + Decent Bluetooth headset ($50, better ones are at $100) = $650Ok, I got some 'splaining to do. Basically, I'm sick of all the cows using the price of the HD-DVD drive to justify the price of the PS3. Bottom line, it has nothing to do with games. However, in this generation, online play is major. Practically every 360 game has Live and Sony will soon follow suit with PSN. Cows also complain about how expensive Live is. That's just stupid. It's about $1 a week for a year. Sounds good to me. And even AFTER that, the PS3 is a more expensive ordeal if you want full online play. Sure you could say headsets aren't necessary, but the fact of the matter is, it's slowly becoming a norm especially for shooters and such. Think how much more fun Resistance would be if everyone had headsets.And if you're REALLY against headsets, I invite you to chop off the $50 and look at the prices. It's the same.So, thoughts? Comments? Death threats? Let me have 'em!

[QUOTE="Rob2223"]but Xb Live is better than PSN, so they arent equal.Blinblingthing

Blu-ray is better than DVD so its not equal

60Gb is better that 20 Gb so thats not equal either

Replacing your movie collection for HiDef blu-ray movies isn't cheap either.

20Gig is enough, the 360 doesn't need any more.

Why do you only count it for 4 years? Because it is less then PS3's price that way. News flash, Consoles usually last 5-6 years. Bias.jechtshot78

you gotta be kidding me, he said "assuming the 360 lasts that long", he doesn't know the lifespan of the 360, he knows how much cows complain about the 360 failure, are you saying the 360 doesn't have problems now? Why must cows change their minds....
