@Squiliam: The point was, that it's the same kind of cherrypicking as what the topic is about. Or can you claim anything being false (although the Wiis "limited" online is a little fishy term)?

@Euphoria: What? The same people were calling the BS in those threads as it is in this one. Me for example. Of course, this time the PS3 and 360 fans have changed sides in terms of who's being offensive and who's defensive.

Its misleading. If Apple had to pull Iphone advertisements that said that it could "Surf the entire WWW", then this press release fails under that same standard. Btw I hope you're not implying defensiveness, really... The majority of people are laughing at this statement.

Read the news post if you don't believe me and whilst you are there read The Source's sales sumary for 2008 and consider the compiled numbers.

Tease.

add $130 to play ps2 games.

Great post right here!

And the 199$ Arcade system is great,plays all 360 games and goes online (Live) without a problem. Why people say you have to pay 100$ more for a Premium system? Fishy fishy fishy...

You can just as easily play Xbox 360/Other systems' games whilst standing up! Thats a blatent lie! Did they add the cost of going to the doctor for your Wii-Tennis elbow?

Tease.

They forgot to add HDTV, HDMI cables, a router for wi-fi, headset, dualshock 3 if you want rumble, and in my case another hard drive since the installs ate up mine :) Also add PS2 to play PS2 games since the newer models can't play them.

@squilliam, nice posts. Sony sucks :D

MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

The best part is the text. They actually closed the press release with this line:

"So as PS3 continues to evolve without the need for additional parts or expenses, expect the competition to continue peddling add-ons in an effort to keep up with the Jones’."
