[QUOTE="agentfred"][QUOTE="heretrix"][QUOTE="agentfred"][QUOTE="Agriath"]the hd-dvd is optional...stop using it to justify the 600$ you shelled out for the PS3.heretrix


But it must be included to make a fair comparison to the ps3.

Not really. You are comparing videogame consoles and you don't need a HDDVD to play games on a 360...The only real "FAIR" comparison is both systems right off the shelf and to the counter..How much will you pay for each one? The answer is pretty clear, the 360 is less expensive. Neither console is cheap.Adding peripherals and calling the system more expensive is idiotic and needs to be stopped. It only makes the people who do it look desperate.


Would you rather I subtract the price of a blu ray player? Looks like the ps3 costs -400 us dollars. You have to include the hddvd in order to set the two systems equal. Otherwise your comparison is useless

No when you do a fair comparison of 2 products you don't add or subtract things to make them even, you compare them exactly as they are. If the 360 does not need an HDDVD player to play it's games and it isn't built in to the system you don't add it.

The 360 stacks up just fine as a videogame console without the added cost of the HDDVD player...If the 360 needed the HDDVD player to play HD DVD games, then you would have a point. But it doesn't need it so adding it is just silly.

So far, the 360's DVD games are holding their own against the PS3's Blu-ray games...


So you're apposed to setting them equal? So, I think we can officialy say Scion>porsche, becuase scions are so much cheaper, and hey, they both move.  Scions move people just fine, but there is so much more to it than just moving.  The same goes for a video game console, sure, 360 plays games just fine, but there is so much more to it than that.

He makes a very good point .
Here it is : PS3 60 GIG = $600.00 + $60.00 (One New Game) = $660.00

Xbox 360 Premium $400.00+$200.00 (40 more GIGS) +$200.00 (HD-DVD) + $100.00 (WiFi) + $60.00(online fees) + 60.00 (1 New Game) =$1,020.00

Nice job there, you've completly diregarded all logical arguements made to refute the claim that optional things shouldn't be included.

cow in denial again....

its so freaking sad...

im a sheep btw and this is ridiculous....

xbox360 already has a hardrive, you dont need, wifi to play online, the only thing i would MAYBE consider would be 4 years of xbox live which is still only 200 and well worth it. if cows want to play that game then why dont they add the hdmi cables to the cost?  right, cuz they are blind, frustrated fanboys that are trying to justify paying 600 dollars by bringing down other systems...

Can I send him a flyer for Sylvan Learning Center?  He clearly doesn't know math, otherwise he'd know this:

$600 > $400.

How about we use a more reasonable analogy.

A Corvette Z06 vs a Ferrari F430.

They're both fast (actually the Z06 is faster but its neither here nor there), but with the Z06 being significantly cheaper (less than half the price), you get more bang for your buck if all you want is speed. If you want a bunch of other features such as the sequential F1 gearbox, you can opt to pay more for the Ferrari.

It's the same thing with the 360 and PS3. If all you want a system for is playing games, you can buy the $399 360 and perhaps a year of Live and that's all you need. You don't have to pay any more for things you don't want or need. But if you do want that, you have the OPTION of buying it.

So let's review.

Xbox 360: $399 ($299 minimum)

Playstation 3: $599 ($499 minimum)

And that's it.

Duh, that's just dumb. 20 GB's are enough, buying two additional harddrives is useless. HD-DVD is optional, and so is the online.

thats just his sig. this is his actual post:
"Okay I'm writing this because some people have said very ignorant things about PS3. I am not trying to troll or offend so please be civil as I shall try to be with everyone else. First off, Playstation 3 has VAST potential that WILL be harnessed! There will never be a game too big or ambitous for this system because it's format is so large! The system also has a massive hard drive compared to its competitors! People say why would I want to pay more for blu-ray? WHAT?! You are getting FAR more than just Blu-ray here folks! You get WiFi, Bluetooth, Blu-ray, 60 gigs, 1080p, free online gameplay, a media center that is on par with some PC's and some if not the best visuals and physics out there!! As for games? ok..I know people like to gossip and feel cool but get frickin real...this is SONY!! They are going to flood the market with so many games it won't be funny. This time next year you will be playing some of the most amazing games available! I mean this thing came out a year after 360 and already had graphics rivaling top games on 360!! This isn't a flame just a testament of how great the system is! Let me ask you a question, if 360's had 2 versions...one that came with HD_DVD and 60 gigs wouldn't you save for one? The true gamer would say heck yeah. So why insult PS3 for offering that and more? It's retarded. Please, at least try to see that saying anything negative about the PS3 this early on because its the "trendy" thing to do is insane. When I hear a person say "Wii60 ftw! Sony sux!" I think wow...you could've bought a great PS3. That's like saying "I don't need to buy a Ferrari, I'll build my own out of a Mustang and Scion!" Then I hear people talk about the pointless blu-ray! ARE YOU KIDDING?! It's not about changing discs, it's about creative space! I can make a game 5 times Oblivions size and you can wander around seemlessly! What if you had to switch discs to go from one end of Cyrodil to another twice or even three times? Thats the difference. Okay, that said..think hard next time someone trolls and fight with reason..."



Now I have no reason to respect TheDudeAbides2.

[QUOTE="Sicknic"]Mine is much much better: Xbox360: $299.99 to $399.99 PS3: $499.99 to $599.99 Those are the only prices that need to be compared with these systems, because that is all you need to pay to play. /thread

Actually the PS3 does not come with HD cables packed in to play.

  I don't really care how much money I spend on a videogame system because I'm going to get it if it'expensive or not because I'm an uber nerd, but don't be ignorant.  Everyone knows that over 50% of Lems are shelling out all of that money for the extra stuff.  Yes, the PS3 is more expensive just for the console, but as far as other stuff that you WILL be getting, 360 is more expensive.  Anyone with some intelligence knows that.

NO, I'm not hating on either system, just had to get that out there.

lets see some proof of that 50% you talk about, I didn't buy the HD DVD or any other add on's.

where do you figure $200 for 40gbs? PS3 games on the BD need a lot more space for saves then 360 disks, there is no need for a bigger hd and don't get me started on the other completely optional stuff this guys throwing in.

Said it before on another thread, but I just love how PS3 fanboys do whatever they can to justify buying a $600 blu-ray player because it isn't a game console because there are no games.

Why is it that calling the PS3 a $600 machine brings out cries of "no, its $500", but hardware comparisons always have to match up to the $600 model?

I bought my 360 for $580. If I'd buy a PS3 at launch it'd set me back $910. These retarded price threads need to stop. They were old 5 months ago already. The PS3 is more expensive, deal with it cows.

Well, this may be I guess somehow applicable, though not all all from me. A) I purchased the transfer peripheral for $35 at Best Buy. I now store all my unneeded files on my PC external hard drive (unlimited hard drive space pretty much). B) I don't need the Wifi adapter, I live in an area where having Wi-fi is prohibited and ethernet jacks are plenty. C) No HD-DVD add on for me. I have a very high bandwidth connection, and have already rented or purchased several TV shows and Movies in Hi-Def. D) Online Fees are $50 for 13 months, so thats $46.15 for a year of XBL. That brings the total (with one new game, assuming you can't get a discount on it) to $506.15 for a premium system with a year of XBL. Assuming you want to get the attachment to connect to the computer, it would be $541.15 with one game, a year of XBL, and essentially unlimited hard drive space. Moral of the story, your silly thread fails.

when will cows learn? hd dvd player is not required for games, wifi is optional and you dont need it to connect to XBL, live costs 50.00 bucks a year. you also forgot to add the cost of hdmi cables for your ps3 is you want to enjoy blu-ray and 1080p.

Few give a Sh8t about blu-ray or HD-DVD. current dvds look great in high definition. As for online. Sony online is a joke compared Xboxlive. You can't even get a friends list going. And no video scaler on PS3 equals HD pain in the but!

You don't pay for a PS3 controller , it comes with it !

Blu-Ray vs DVD = Blu-Ray = 40 more GIGS

Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD (+ 200 dollars ) = Blu-Ray = 20 more GIGS

Playstation was a s*** load more forbidden>
