PS3 has nice 09 exclusives, but at $400 its still hard to justify a purchase.

Why spend $400 + 60 for a PS3 and KZ2 when you can spend $200 + 40/60 for a 360 Arcade and a copy of Halo 3/Gears 2.

Because a....

400+ 60(Killzone 2) + 60(LittleBigPlanet) + Free Online +60 HDMI cord for "True"HD=580

While...

200+60(Gears of War 2) + 40(Halo 3) + 20-30(Controller batteries)(20 or 30 bones for batteries? Where you live?Normal batteries are only like 5-7$ and 2 AA batteries last 60 hours,and if a person puts 10 hours into gaming a week it will last 6 weeks or 1 month and 2 weeks,Dont forget the 360 rechargable pack thats only 20$ and no batteries) + (First month of Live is free and the 360 will have 4 games,2 free games and Gears and Halo while PS3 only has KZ2 and LBP)43$ a year(Live) =370++++(Depending on how long you keep it.)

Lets say you keep them equally for 3 years....

PS3 gaming= 580 (with 2 games)

360 gaming= 518 (with 4 games)

Plus Killzone is twice the game Gears 2/Halo 3 is lol (JK JK! Please don't FLAME me!)

 

 

When I said batteries I meant the standard MS rechargable ones, for no reasonable person is going to continue with standalone batteries. And I dont you can really count the DL games that come with it as a big incentive. At the most you can call it a "Wii Sports" of the system and count it as ONE game. And if you are going to do that why not weigh the fact that LBP has unlimited possibilities as far as a game goes. I have played GALAGA like levels, Mirror's Edge, MGS4 type levels, Puzzles/Quizes, you name it in LBP. Thats like 100 games in one.

At gamestop that I work at 1yr sub to Live costs 49.99 even. It comes with one month free, of course. Yet the PS3 comes with A LIFETIME free where you will never pay to play online. No matter how you slice it, you end up paying WAY more money for 360 then you should, only made worse by the longer you keep it.

Still, most don't see it this way......depressing.
