However bad MS was with the 360 Sony was worse with the PS3 from 2006-2010. Does no one remember how badly Sony treated fans from 2006-2010? The $599 price alone is worse than anything MS did except RROD. And no, the 360 was not more "expensive" than the PS3 during that time.

Sony did change, but it took a lot.

They were EASILY more expensive if you wanted the 360 to do what PS3 did.

$400.00 for the core system

$60.00 for the wireless adaptor

$20.00 for play and charge kit

$60.00 to play online

$200.00 for HDDVD add on

 

Total? Without taxes, around $740.00 US. And even spending THAT much, you still ended up with a HDD that was 40GB smaller and no HDMI.

Well 1st it was $400m for the Pro in 2005 with the 20 gig hardrive.

That alone played the same games as a PS3, and in the case of multiplats, played better versions. In short, the core experience was not only $200 cheaper, but superior.

And Not only was it $50 for Gold at the time, disregarding sales that are year round and easy tot ake advantage of., the quality of service was far superior then anything PSN offered until several years after PS3 launched.

All this is true, but doesn't change the fact that yes, in order to have a 360 that did close to what a PS3 could do, you had to spend more than the asking price of a PS3. And even if you did. Even if you bought ALL that shit, you were still stuck with analog output.
