Atleast the hardware in the PS3 was worth the price and Sony were not ripping us off. It was also the cheapest blu-ray player for a long time.... the technology which MS tried to screw but are now using it themselves.

the xbone on the other hand is a complete rip off, the camera is not worth as much as they claim and even after removing it from the bundle, MS insist the xbone alone should cost as much as a PS4. what a joke.

In terms of anti-consumer policies, the xbone beats any other product in history and will be keeping the crown for a long time to come.

Some could argue Sony shoehorned it in to corner the movie box sales market. Due to DVD loading faster, mandatory installs for many PS3 titles and what not......the odd 360 game having multiple disks isn't reason enough to justify making a $599 console.

The joke is Sony took you all for a ride and you act like it was all in your best interest, while MS solved their biggest cons before the consoles launch, and the rest, 6 months after. It took Sony 2 years to cover up their arrogance


If the advantages of DVD really did outweigh that of blu-ray, then MS wouldnt be using blu-ray on the X1.

Anyway PS3 wasnt just $599 because of blu-ray. The cell processor also played a part of it and that was developed with the best intentions of the core gamer in mind and it paid off because even though it was getting weaker multiplatforms, it was still able to destroy the 360 on exclusives. It is what let PS3 beat the 360 and give sony a great foundation to launch the PS4 on.

Now MS have had a go at a premium priced console and surprise surprise, they are trying to cash in on the casuals with weak hardware and motion controls which now no-one cares about. They never had the best intentions of the core gamers OR the casual gamers and the number of quality kinect games tells you that (are there even any?).
