Damn, there goes that argument."
uh i can just as easily say that most PS2 owners are buying a PS3 (most gamers do). that is a baseless assertion. and my argument was that the PS3 can play more games then the Xbox 360. Which is a fact, unlike that crap
you just posted. oh and dont forget your wireless internet adapter and 3 years of XBL fee, which would bring your little total to $780. Just counting the total of a gimped Xbox vs the total for a fully loaded PS3 is stupid. I notice you didnt try to top the PS2 games that I can play on my PS3 but apparently you are going to buy both a PS2 and Xbox 360 so you failed to see my point. |
My point, oh obtuse one, was that most gamers already have a PS2. After all, the thing did sell 120m+ worldwide. Rationalizing a $600 purchase on its ability to play games for a $130 console most people already own is pretty silly. |
Ok lets say you own a PS2 and 12 games. And you decided tomorrow is the day you are going to go next gen. You dont factor in that the PS3 can play those games too? You can now sell your PS2 on ebay for nearly $100 , especially if you got extra PS2 controllers to go with it. Sony should be pushing
deals like this in the stores big time, $100 trade in vale towards PS3 for PS2 +2 controllers. not sure how/if sony could turn that hardware into $ or if that would be on the store or what. But that seems like an option
to a straight up price cut. i dunno - got off on a tangent there
