Yes, I play a 360 right now because I would not stoop to paying over $300 of my own money to buy a PS3.

I always find it bizzare when people say this. considering that until just recently microsoft charged people £50 for a wireless adapter, which should be built in from day 1. they charge a lot for an upgrade to the hard drive (£50). and they make it so you have to buy their expensive hard drives and cant use your own.

and lastly they charge people £50 for their live service which sony had free, and even when they were losing money they still offered the service free, its only recently they've begun to charge for it.

my point is, that this really isnt a justified argument. and theres probabily a few things i missed out anyway.

I purchased a used 2007 20 gig Xbox 360 model for $192 including shipping. If I was an early adopter, which I never have been with consumer electronics when it comes to my own money, then I would have incurred those charges.

The argument is that the Sony PS3 was overpriced for too long from 2006-2009 at $599 and $499 respectively. Price certainly does not matter for some, but it does for a lot of us.

IT WAS EXPENSIVE BUT NOT OVERPRICED AS IT OFFERED MORE TOO
