It's a lie that that guy chose to buy a PS3 because it was more reliable? Or is it a lie that a wireless adapter costs $100, Live costs $50, and repairs (if you aren't under warranty) cost $139? The PS3 has an impressive line up? The 360 has superior online capabilities? This guy prefers Western shooters to console RPGs? Please tell me where the flat out lies are. Please And why is it a fanboy written article just because he thought about long term costs? I can either buy a Honda for $1000 straight up right now that works perfectly, or I can buy an old Buick for $600, even though I'll have to eventually buy a new transmission, constant tune ups, pay for body repair (it's $600, so it looks beat up and tattered), etc. The Buick may seem cheap now, but the costs will add up eventually. That's fanboyism? |
Well, it's a lie that Live costs $50, unless you are incapable somehow of looking at more than one place for a deal. I got 14 months of Live for $28 at Amazon. It's a lie that the $100 wireless adapter is necessary. It's true that post-warranty repairs cost $139, but it is equally true that PS3 costs money to repair post-warranty as well.
I'm not saying that his point isn't somewhat valid, in that the low price point of Xbox is inflated to a degree by post-purchase costs, but some of the statistics and numbers he used to prove the point are questionable at best.
