Where's the BD Player? Memory card readers? No blu-tooth? No free movies? Bummer dude, not to mention you've totally missed out on the beauty of High Definition. Any PS3 purchased up til Januray 30, 2008 came with 5 BD movies a $150 value.

Also I don't think its fair to count a gift card as no cost to you, shoot what if I had a $1000 gift card and got the console, movies, and 10 games, should I post that as a total cost of $0? The traded games, you shouldn't even count those since you had to trade in games that you PAID for.

And sales shouldn't be considered a real bonus because similar sales go on all console platforms.

You sir, fail.

I own a Toshiba Regza 42' LCD 1080p television, a Wii and a PS3.

 

There is no way in hell your gonna tell me you got as much utility per dollar out of your PS3 if you bought it when it was 600 bucks, as you did out of your Wii.

 

5 Blu-Ray movies? Wtf man? "No blu-tooth"?

 

I think your hatred of the TC or fanboyism for Sony might have clouded your judgement.

 

With component cables and 420P, on my TV, the Wii looks damn good. Not as sharp good as my PS3, granted, but it definately isn't "standard def" looking as most would have you believe. People want to make it seem like the Wii looks the same on a HDTV as it does on standard def, and it doesn't.

 

I'm not a videophile, but the Wii games, and particularly the menu, look 10000x better on my HD set than they do on my Standard. The difference between the increase in quality from standard TV to my Wii, is greater than the difference in picture quality from on my HD set from my Wii to PS3.

 

That's not saying the PS3 doesn't have MUCH better graphics, but strictly picture quality and clarity, through components, the Wii stacks up.

 

Now, graphically, the PS3 looks amazing in standard of high-def.

 

It's just sickening to me when PS3 fanboys act like the PS3 is the only system that gains advantage from a High-Def TV, and that HDTV's make the Wii obsolete.

 

Let me tell you plain. I wouldn't switch back to standard def on my Wii or my PS3, and both of them gain huge advantages, such as 16:9, progressive scan, and Wii remote pointer functionality.

 

My PS3 has never had a Blu-Ray movie in it, cus I sure as hell aint' buying one(I don't even buy DVD's) and nobody rents them, so wtf man? How can this even count when you gotta pay out the ass for every movie? Is that for everyone, or just the niche video collector?
