When my PS3 battery dies in 2020 I will buy a new controller for a fraction of the price you paid to buy a new set of batteries every week.

I have had the same set of rechargeable batteries since the launch of the 360.  What don't you understand about rechargeable?  They are cheap as well.

And that's the only thing I need is *this*. I don't need this or this. Just this PS4... And this gaming PC. - The PS4 and the Gaming PC and that's all I need... And this Xbox 360. - The PS4, the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360, and that's all I need... And these PS3's. - The PS4, and these PS3's, and the Gaming PC, and the Xbox 360... And this Nintendo DS. - The PS4, this Xbox 360, and the Gaming PC, and the PS3's, and that's all *I* need. And that's *all* I need too. I don't need one other thing, not one... I need this. - The Gaming PC and PS4, and Xbox 360, and thePS3's . Well what are you looking at? What do you think I'm some kind of a jerk or something! - And this. That's all I need.

No HD optical drive (Blu-ray or HDDVD)
PS3 has Blu-ray, Wii is equal to the 360 with DVD

Wireless controllers have additional charge for rechargeable batteries

PS3 has default rechargeable batteries, Wii has no 1st party rechargeable battery

Additional charge for Wi-fi adaptor

PS3 and Wii have built-in Wi-fi

Proprietary hard drives and memory cards

PS3 can be upgraded with any SATA Laptop HDD. The Wii suffers from no upgradable internal storage.

No internet browser
The PS3 has a free browser and the Wii has a "500 Point" internet browser.

No motion control technology
The PS3 has Six-Axis motion control. The Wii has the same with a built in camera to detect true 3D movement.

XBox Live yearly fee
Both the PS3 and the Wii have completely free online gaming and services.

This is all that comes to mind based on facts and not biased opinion. The things like RRoD and E74 seem to mostly be a thing of the past and no longer a disadvantage compared to YLoD and bad Wii lasers. I could be mistaken, though. Hopefully you find my post. I've tried to make sure these are 100% facts. I am a PS3 fan myself, but have tried to keep any bias out of this post. If there is bias, I'm sorry.



I have moved and do not have the internet at home, yet.

I looks really out of place in the sitting room, not black like all the other electronics. It uses a cd tray instead of being able to turn the machine on by just sliding a game inside xD It has a banana on the inside if it's one of those new jasper models


What if the CD gets stuck in the tray? Pray tell.

Sorry about the flash drives. I remove that part. I don't understand your point on the other three. They are still disadvantages for the 360 from the consumer's point of view.

How would no web browsing on the xbox be a disadvantage?.....It's not vital to a gaming console and in no way does it enhance gaming.....

Xbox does not support Motion control games....If you want to believe the rumors, or the stuff MS has bought as proof...then soon it will have motion based control....

Sony chrages companies money when they have online content in their games or when they want to put stuff on PSN...to cover bandwith..I have not heard of this happening on XBL...if you have info...share it
