In the UK we buy with our heads.... 

The console that gives the biggest punch for the pound is the 360 - so we buy it, its that simple.

No emotional loyalty to bygone days... no sheep like following of trends beyond their natural lives... no xenophobic bias (not that we even make a console! lol)

The UK (with the US) has also been a trend setter for popular culture, you will all follow soon

 

 

This is the funniest shit I've seen in ages, thanks god for continental Europe.


I second what Aragod said with every bit of my being.

Yes because other countries have wool pulled over their eyes and need to remove it to step into the intelligent, unbiased and well informed UK gamer's shoes.

It's actually such a ridiculous post. Very arrogant.

Also along the lines of popular culture spreading from America, it's true, but damn it I wish it wasn't.


i fourth that

but i do respect that he's being honest with his opionions and expressing himself on the forums

 

@seece i do mentioned that 220 is before the discontinued skus and am not counting arcades cause they dont have a HDD and another reason is that kowen mentioned arcades arent the ones that get the majority of the sales

"So before, it was £210 in total, not anywhere near £250"

210 220 sorry i was 10 pound off i was getting numbers from my head 250 is for current new 360S owners

i crearly wrote

"your total is now 250 pound for the new 360S or about 220 for the older skus back before they discontinued them"

can you not read? or do you just like twisting my words around to make me look like the bad guy?

You twist them yourself BHR. Kowen is talking about biggest bang for buck, £160 vs £250 is what you should really be comparing, not accessories to fit your argument. The arcade IS £160 because it doesn't have those accessories.

It's actually £120 now but whatever, looking forward to a Slim arcade around £120

Americas UK for Ps3 = 17 Milions Consoles... So Year America and UK dont matter...

Lulz...

Xbox will allways from now on be stronger in those markets and will become stronger in others EU Markets and eventually in Japan so Microsoft has nothing to lose just win... they are winning marketshare in Italy and France when Sony dominates over the past few years if they can stole consumers to them than Sony is f**** up... The only place sony gets left to save their heads its Europe... If Microsoft gets over Europe than Bye bye Sony... Japan wont save them especially when its in decline...

I Live my Ps3 but we have to admit , Microsoft this Gen is miles away better than Sony... Even in Games for me Microsoft is winning ... Gears of War and Mass Effect alone steal the show!

But lets hope Sony does better next gen...


Lets hope you do a better job at spelling next time....."I live my ps3? So Year america and UK don't matter?"

Noone really cares for Blu Ray here.

And I can go into HMV, supermarkets etc without even seeing a BluRay on store shelves. Just DVD's. 

BluRay prices are still the same as 4 years ago. £20-£30.

It is struggling big here. More people definately have adopted downloads here. It's evident by the lack of BluRay shelf space. 

Quintessential selnor post - declares that Blu-ray is a failure/doomed format based on what he likes to think is the case.

'You can't go into a single HMV in the country and find Blu-rays on shelves' - that is an outright lie for starters.

And you lose even more credibility by suggesting you can't find Blu-rays in supermarkets (yet another bullshit claim as you can hardly speak for all supermarkets, and I can just as easily point out that in my local Sainsburys they have a whole section to themselves in the games&films aisle) - I could equally suggest that because I can't find iPods in WHSmith that Apple's flagship technology is doomed in the UK. Except I wouldn't. Because that's not how to construct a decent argument.

As has been pointed out already, the BSAC have shown that Blu-rays convincingly defeated digital downloads in 2009, and the margin is only going to increase in 2010.



why would i compare arcade when kowen said

"you have quoted the lowest price for the 360, when evidence suppports this isnt the biggest selling"

and

"I am pretty sure NPD released a stat that showed the average price point indicated that isnt the case.... will likely be similar in the UK too"

 

"not accessories to fit your argument"

laughing out loud there not for my argument i believe most all buy the charge kit or some sort of charge kit and XBL gold card eventually after there console purchase if 360 is similar to US game style wise like it has been said then most will be gaming online

so your telling me the majority or all people in UK dont buy the charge kit how much do they spend in batteries every yr? i would assume way more than 15 pound

To be fair a great prophet  predicted that after the Slim's launch  and after Kinect, the PS3 even the Wii would never outsold the 360 again this Gen, this is just the beginning!

Yes, obvious enough to draw 5 replies thinking it wasn't a joke.

Also that sentiment has been posted on these forums before, so it's not difficult to see how myself and others misconstrued your post as being genuine.



 

Most people that i knoew that have brought a 360 got it because the PS3 is too expensive for them when compared to the cheapness of a 360.

 

The only people i have really heard say the 360 is better then PS3's are like me nephew and his freinds. They are like 13 years of age and under.

 

Also when i go to my friends houses who have children "mainly boys" ages like 7 to 12 they usualy have a 360 because they feel the PS3 is too "High end" for a child.

But the people i know does not = UK



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Ah, phoney incidental proof FTW, of which likely isn't even true, you're just trying to stealth troll and say 360 is for kids or something.
