And any PS3 user can sell back the older smaller storage capacity hard drive while buying a non-proprietary hard drive is still a better value than any proprietary Xbox 360  storage media.  No one can argue that.  Besides, you can buy an incasement of your choice for that older non-proprietary hard drive so it can be used for your PC and/or PS3 when formatted correctly.  Another value there.  I understand that not all shopping scenarios will fit every shopper.  But when you are referring to the monetary value of hard drive space and the flexibility (or lack of) its usage, my argument still stands.

Xbox 360 is easier. Therefore Microsoft gets to charge for the 'better solution'. Why should anyone but geeks care about such things and most real geeks have left the PS3 behind years ago for being obsolete.

 


Very nice "selective justification" there.  But as I also said earlier, "I understand that not all shopping scenarios will fit every shopper."  At least I'm graceful and respectful enough to keep and opened mind here.  

Hardly selective. Most people wouldn't be able to swap over the HDD of their consoles or if they did they wouldn't have the inclination to put in the effort. It's the natural way things are, the same way that store bought PCs outnumber home built ones even though theoretically almost anyone could build one. Your example is probably a user which is 2-3 standard deviations away from the median.

Do you have a link for that?

Nice.  But I really don't see the relevance to this thread and myself as well since I do have shares of Microsoft stock as part of my long term retirement mutual funds.  Your intent: Spitefulness maybe..?
