It will be interesting to see the NPD data for July .

In any case ,it is clear that the PS3 at 499 is far better value that the Elite at 480 .Maybe people are coming to realize this .

"It is clear"? That's news to me. Just how is it so "clear" that the PS3 is better value than the Xbox 360 Elite?


It is crystal clear .

Why ?Lets see .....

1.Ps3 has a Blue Ray driver for HD movies ....Elite doesnt .

2.PS3 has built-in wifi if you dont want to have all your house wired .....Elite doesnt (and cost 80 dollars to buy ) .

3.PS3 has a retrocompatibility with PS1 and PS2 that works very well ....the 360 retrocompatibility sucks .

4.PS3 has a free online service that at least allows you to play by internet without lag ...more than enough for most players who arent online-freaks .X360 and the Elite make you pay some 60 euros per year or 300 for 5 years .

5.PS3 doesnt break ,have 3 red lights know as the Ring of Death ,doesnt scratch discs ...etc etc .Elite has the same motherboard as X360 so it has the same problems .

6.PS3 has HDMI 1.3 while Elite only has the 1.2 .

7:PS3 can be connected to the PSP and be accesed by the PSP from anywhere with wifi .

8.PS3 has card readers ,Elite doesnt .

9:PS3 can use most PC keyboards and mouses and accesories ....X360 and the Elite have their own and expensive accesories .

 

 

All in all ,as I said before ,its crystal clear that the PS3 at 499 is a way better choice price-value that the Elite

Whilst I agree with this for the most part, you're forgetting the most important factor GAMES.

360 library wipes the floor with the PS3 right now and that alone makes the Elite better value for the vast majority of people.

 


so do you really think the ps3 is gonna keep its current game library forever??


Which part of "right now" did you not understand?

I'd love to be able to play the games in my 360 library on a more reliable console (aka PS3) but unfortunately that isn't an option. Until it is then I'll be forced to stick with the 360 for my HD gaming.
