with a new 80 gig ps3 this xmas for £299 and the launch of the new movie service, combined with home, and many other avalaunch laden titles. i see that % increasing further after xmas 2008 is over.

Wouldn't that be offset by the 20 gig clearance sale by MS?

Aren't those in short supply?  or going to be?

nope i dont think that would be offset by 20gig 360 clearance. although i may pick up a cheap 20 gig clearance 360 to keep upstairs.

but it amazes me that microsoft are trying to get core/arcade users and premium users to buy a 60 gig or greater hard drive. thus furthering the cost to have a full 360 experiance. im talking about the phasing out of the 20 gig and sticking it on clearance btw.

for a core/arcade/premium user to upgrade he would have to shel out at least £69.99 for the touted 60 gig hd, or at the moment £100 for 120 gig, plus bolster it with a £69.99 wiresless conection and a recurring £40 annual online licence fee is money grabing if you ask me.

thats a possible £194 extra you have to pay if you also include a plug+charge kit. if it was me i would complain.

its ok to buy the new 360 package at 60gig(seems good value to me), but what of the millions of core/arcade/premium owners who will have to shell out extra to get the full experiance. heck burnout was unplayable online with a core/arcade and i also hear the new soul caliber requires HD which i suspect will be for online play as in burnout. 360 fans who are truthfull will know that is shafting the purchasers.

imo the playstation 3 is the ultimate in gaming/entertainment/acceleration with everything out of the box that provides games players/movie watchers/family users, music lovers, great value for money, i firmly believe the % of playstation 3 to rise after xmas 2008 and that the new 80 gig £299 console this xmas will sell extremly well in EU and worldwide.

but........................wether you own a ps3, 360 or wii. i believe xmas 2008 or if you like fall 2008 will be better and more exiting than 2007 equivilent.

at the end of the day you should be happy with your console of choice, which for me is obviously the ps3.

and finally!

contrary to murmuring belief(through messeges i have got in past 3 weeks), i do not have anything against 360 or wii or anything against thier respective fans. majority of ppl here have picked a console that they think offers the best value for money, hence so have i. <---------------- sorry just had to add that in the last minit.
