I always encourage my customers to buy a PS3. Spend $399 or $499 now instead of spending $349 and then coming back two days later to drop another $210 on battery pack, battery charger, WiFi, Live Membership. PS3 has it all in the box plus the ability to play movies in HD. Plus after spending all that, their DVD equiped XBox 360 will be obsolete in 14-18 months. A PS3 is "guarnteed" for the next 7-8 years.

I always used to ask my customers how they intend to use things rather than assuming they need Wifi, HD playback, battery chargers, Live membership.

If you were my employee I would fire you.

 

You must have really shitty sales numbers man. Everyone knows you up sell your customers irrelevant of whether they actually need the fancy gold plated speaker connectors. If you can sell it sell it.

You sir are a stooge working for MS, infact i see more logic and understanding in EdGuila's sale than yours.

I would like to know how do you sell an xbox without a HD, online, netflicks, etc? And why would you want to, what's the profit on that, not much im guessing?

This may not be what you were going for Megaman79, but wouldn't it make MORE sales sense to sell them a 360 today, a charger and Live tomorrow, Wifi the next...  IF it was simply sales you were looking after that is.  I agree though, not everybody needs these things, regardless of how much you may think they do.  Hell, 23 billion or whatever PS2 owners did just fine without the HD add-on or wi-fi.

Also funny how personal opinions like "PS3 is guaranteed for the next 7-8 years" makes it into a sales pitch as FACT.  Because the 360's first three years of quality entertainment will STOP NOW...No future fun to be had here, move along, thank you.  HAHA.

On topic, sadly, all my console buying friends have their consoles of choice, so it's unlikely I'll influence anyone else.  I did influence two to get 360's though and one to get a PS3.  The reward for 360 was having friends to play on-line with and the reward for the PS3 was setting a bro up with the best Blu-Ray player available.  He isn't much of a gamer but A) the PS3 is the best blu-ray player and B) if he decided to play games on it, he could!
