PS3 is still cheaper than the 360. I do not know a 360 owner that hasn't spent more on hardware than I have with my PS3. $499. I know 360 owners that have spent $800.
Battery Pack
20GB HDD
Charger
XBox Live
WiFi
Cooler Fans
All PS3 owners I know have kept there hardware budget under $600. For hardware I'm at just $553. $499 for the console and $54 for the extra controller and I get more with that than my cousins who bought a 360. |
Wow you have some really stupid friends, and also miss the point again. A ten year old kid who wants to play Fifa o9 is not gonna care about an HDD, or wifi, or cooler fans (jasper model is this christmas dont start with that crap).
Also 360 60 gb model with free 6 month live £169.99 with game. Charger £12.99. Total = £181.99
PS3 cheapest model = £300 with game.
£120 spare to buy other presents or more games. You see. Without credit it's easier for Parents. And if they get arcade for there 8-12 year old kid who couldnt care less about HDD then the parent saves even more while he is happy playing Fifa 09 over christmas and the parents are happy cause they saved £170 with arcade. You see this matters during no credit time.

Sorry man, hate to burst your "refute bubble" but I don't have any 10 year old friends in the U.K. that own 360s. If you were somehow trying to attack my comments with an argument, please try again.
So I stand uncorrected...every 360 I know has spent way more on hardware/accessories than people I know with PS3s.
End of argument, nice try though selnor.

So then your comments were just completly not relevant at all to the thread at hand then?
|
Not quite, just informing people that you'll end up spending more on a 360, which most people think will be a smaller hit on their gaming budget but within 2 to 4 weeks most people end up spending more on a 360 to get what the PS3 has in the Box at $399.

Yes what you are saying is irrelevant to the thread. I have stated in the thread already people who are single or dont have children could still probably afford a PS3 this christmas through the credit crunch. But my point is during the christmas period many many many parents will look to get their son or daughter a new console and it's these people who will not be able to afford £300 or $399 this year. As I said most families use credit. Parents and there children will be a massive amount of the console sales this christmas. Hence my original point in OP that PS3 sales due to crunch at existing price wont rise over christmas as much as Wii60.
