Think about it: you're standing in line for a Wii and you're told it's sold out. Knowing all too well that your kids want a new video game console, the affordable Playstation 3 is sitting there for the taking.


That's about where he totally lost me, I didn't realize being the most expensive system on the market made you the affordable option.

$399 PS3 vs $449 Elite.. PS3 is cheaper then the high end ripoff the elite is. For the $49 more I could get an 80GB HDD and be sitting set for a while. And since a 300GB HDD is in the works a 100GB drive should come down greatly in price soon.


$270 Arcade vs $499 80gb... Arcade is chaper than the high end ripoff 80gb. For the $230 less I could get quite a few games and be having fun for a while. And since the 360 already has a great library, those older games should come down in price greatly.

See how easy it is to make unfair comparisons?

 


 I hope your joking because I look at the comparison of the arcade vs. 80GB, and still think the PS3 is of better value. PS3 has Blu-ray player, wi-fi, 80GB HDD, usually you'll be able to get one with 2 games, free online (which does not suck), controllers have built in lithium batteries with usb cable to charge them, and HDMI output which supports Lossless audio (360's HDMI does not support Lossless audio, based on what I have read). That's reason enough without bringing up the "improved" 360s break nearly as much as the old chipset did. The Wii and PS3 rarely break at all. Considering all systems have great games out (For Wii: Zelda, MP8, RE4, Wii Sports, Big Brain Academy; 360: Halo 3, Gears of War, Forza 2, Bioshock PS3: R&CF:ToD, Resistance, Warhawk, Motorstorm, Folklore) it's difficult to compare games. Since the PS3 price drop it is personal preference that will decide between the systems.
