Bolded is complete fanboy bullshit. Nobody NEEDS to buy anything beyond the console itself. I have purchased ZERO accessories, do NOT pay for Live, and my 360 is a year old and so far has not died. It runs quiet and cool so I do not expect it to. Guess what?! It plays games just as well as do the boxes of people who do buy the extras, and I am able to enjoy it just as much. As for the XBLA game argument, while each game by itself, may not equal a full release game, taken together they are a very compelling package. Braid + Castle Crashers + Geo Wars 2 + Portal > the majority of games out there, regardless of which console they are on. |
Instead of "vs" at the end I should have said "to equal" the PS3 package. Because yeah, you've got a cheaper stripped down option. To get what PS3 gives you though, you'll pay more. (and possibly kick yourself if you threw in an HDDVD player at one point). Change the words I mentioned, and it's true, not bullshit.
Agree that the suite of 360 games is compelling. Don't mean to say otherwise.
