The Best Value Console

[dunno001]

Obviously, with a site name like that, it's going to be biased. However, they don't even try to hide their bias. You simply HAVE to have 2 full sets of controls for the Wii to play it, and you HAVE to have Wi-Fi and extras for the controller on the 360. Oh, and you're going to be paying MSRP whether you like it or not. But for the PS3, you can get cheap stuff from some site, and play for less.

Let's see, so using their number, $310 means I'm ready to play on the PS3. Okay, what am I playing? Oh, that's right- NOTHING! $310 does not let me get a game with the PS3, whereas they acknowledge the Wii with Wii Sports and the 360 Elite bundle with 2 games. I'll add in $30 for a budget PS3 game. And I've a friend who wants to play also. Oops, they only got a second controller for the Wii! Guess we need to get one of those for about $50 more.

Besides, looking at raw numbers is foolish anyway. The best VALUE console is based on how much you use and enjoy the system. I don't care if system Q is $20; if I only use it for 1 hour, it's poor value. System Z, at $1000, if I enjoy it and use it for an average of an hour a day for just 1 year, is a better value. For me personally, I get the best value out of the Wii. Other people who use the Blu-Ray part of the PS3 may find it to be the best value for them. Other people love playing on Live, and find that it works out most efficient for them. But if you're going to say that X is cheaper, thus it's a better value, then you've missed the point of value.
