PS3 is not "too expensive" for me. I just refuse to pay sony a 200 dollar premium because they decided to push their bluray format on to the consumer. I don't like paying for what I dont want...and at this point everyone can agree that bluray is completely worthless when it comes to gaming. Actually I bought a PS3 in may 2008 and sold it by august 2008... I just felt cheated. All this money they are asking for the console and everything it does gaming wise is as good or worse than a 360. People always rant "But you get value like Wifi and bluray". Well I don't like fries with my burger, and these things dont really interest me... But it would be nice if they bundled a headset or HD cables though, thats something a core gamer would need. I'm sorry if i sound a little bitter but I jsut hate these bundle tactics...Ill buy it again once its under 299. |
the ps3 isnt ust some over hyped blue ray player though the actual component that is makeing the thing so expensive though is the processor, with a peak performance of 420GFLOPS compared to the processor in the 360 which is 115.5 GFLOPS, also the ram in it runs a hell of a lot faster than the ram of the 360, ur not really paying for the bluray in it (wich in a movie makes a shitload of difference espacially runing on a tv that is bigger than 40" and 1080P) but the other technology in it, funny though that when bluray was first announced micrsoft said it was overkill and at the time one of the cinematics for the game was a 2gb by itself. on and for HDMI cables new egg sells em for like 10$ a pop, and a wireless head set doesnt cost 60$ fuckin dollers also u can use just any blue tooth headset for as little as 20$
and after my 360 red ringed i felt a little cheated as well......
