Dammit... PS3 would be better to get in 09 as an Xmas present but it has a blu ray player and other stuff. May be I should just work all summer at a part time job and save up and get both lol. Except then I wouldnt have time to ever play those 45 PS2 games :(

A cash gift of $2000 would solve my problem :)

Honestly, if the 360 has two to three times the games you want and money is an issue, its a no-brainer.

The PS3 is currently very over-priced. Ask for it in 2009 as a christmas gift. Or buy one late next year when its cheaper and some of the big games Darth keeps talking about are actually out.

 

Sorry, but you can't make foolish statements like this and expect people to take your opinion seriously. The fact that Sony is still losing money on the console means, by definition, that it is not overpriced.

What is overpriced is the 360 elite and the 360 hardrives. Its ridiculous that you need to spend $180 for a 120 GB HDD when a standard 250 GB HDD is less than $100.

I agree that 360 HDD are overpriced.  Given I was talking about games, the Ps3 is massively overpriced from a consumer perspective.  As a consumer, neither I nor any other consumers should be concerned with what Sony gets out of the transaction. 

 

 

 Any possible way to prove PS3 is overpriced?

Last I checked the lowest model PS3 was $400 and still offered more than the $350 360 that also requires another $50 for online making it not only the same price, but without the BluRay, WiFi,  Remote play, Free online, the list goes on.

In actuality, whether you believe it or not, 360 is more overpriced than the PS3.

Mention the arcade and it gets even worse considering a 20GB 360 HDD is what? $100?  Still making it inferior to the PS3 in terms of what it offers.

The price argument has been invalid for a long time bro.

Then what happens if the 40GB does indeed get BC? Don't say it won't either. PS2 after enough time ran PS1 games on software only. As it does with the PS3 now.

 

Want to know what overpriced is? Wii is sold for profit, 360 is sold for profit. PS3 is sold at a loss, meaning it is not possible to say it is overpriced.

Blu Ray = Non issue. Seriously if I don't care and I sit 4-6 feet away from a 53" Sony 1080p LCD, and im a bit of a graphics whore.... Why should he?

You can go on and on about free online but its a lonely experience online if his friends are on Live now isnt it?

Games will be cheaper for him if he can borrow some of his friends back catalogue, so he can play a lot of games for essentially free and the biggest cost of a system is actually the games you buy for it.

It doesn't matter if the list price for the PS3 is lower after you add in all the "extra value features" But isn't the point of a gaming machine - playing games and having fun. Since he likes the 360 controller more and has friends with Xbox360s - You have friends you play with online I hope? The value of the machine would be far greater than the PS3. I personally would hate to be the one with the odd machine out.

Value =/= price divided by features.

Read his post. He already stated he wants the BD player.

Argument is already over. You can't use the fact that you don't care for BD as a reason for him not wanting a PS3...how can you say that if you don't care why should he? Last I checked... your not him... I LOL'd at that comment.

Also BTW.... not everyone plays online. He already stated he wouldn't get the online until possibly later this year, so another point of your shot. He stated not being able to play with his friends is the least of his worries.

Read the OP.
