I posted this on another gaming forum site at the exact time as I posted this on here and I got a lot better reception on there with some good constructive responses and more answers i wanted to hear. I guess different forums are a lot different in regards to viewing and arguing things.

Yeah, I think we all know what answers you wanted to hear.  Also, link please.

P.S.  This forum is one of the best I've ever seen in terms of rational debate instead of flaming and follow-the-leader and minority viewpoint oppression.  So I doubt that "a lot different" is "a lot better".  Although I have to concede it's possible ... so please let me find out.  Link please.

^Here is the proof.

The biggest difference I saw was that the thread went way off topic and hasn't gone back on topic yet -- so less people are criticizing the OP.  I was wrong about what I implied, though -- I thought that you were glad because you successfully fished for mindless PS3 praise.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.

Well the Wii and the XBOX 360 would aproach $250 dollars earlier in the lifecycle. I would prefer the Wii as I would have to wait much longer for the other consoles to arrive at this price point. With the PS3 it may be in its 6/7th year when it getting close to obsolete will it arrive at this price point.

£125 each? Bargain! I'd buy them all.

I am going to do a starcraft here. I will look through the posts and my conclusion is PS3 is the best. Thank you to those who said PS3 is the best. So which console is the best?

I wanted everyone to say the PS3 is the best. It back fired and I feel like a douche bag.

The PS3 is the best. Feeling better?

If I was made of chocolate, I would not go into the sun.

If cake had no sugar, fat, carbs, or calories, we would be eating it right now.

If Earth was 1,000 more miles away from the sun, we would have a longer year.

If 6 = 7, then 4 + 2 has no answer.

If cheese was made of glass, no one would buy pizza.



Never think of what could have happened, but rather what can happen.

This is a completely hypothetical question with no practical real-world application.

 

1. PS3 80GB BC = $250

2. X360 Elite 120GB = $250

3. Nintendo Wii = $250

 

Two questions here:

Which console is the best buy?

Which console is the worst buy?

Can I play?

Ferrari $50,000

Porsche Carrera $50,000

BMW 520 $50,000

Three questions:

1. Which car is the best buy

2. Which is the worst

3. How did Sony screw up so badly with the PS3 that Sony fanboys have no choice but to dream up a $250 console with the features of a $600 console to go up against the Wii.

 

Number 3 is right on........If the ps3 is so valuable and awesome to you, how do you find time to think of a stupid question like this.......I was just about to make a comparison of autos like you did.......

Before I bought my Xbox 360, I was comparing what others were saying about the PS3 and the Xbox 360, post's like this made me buy a Xbox 360. Spec wise I was leaning towards a PS3 but after reading hundreds of articles and forum post's like these the choice was obvious.

It seems like PS3 fans beg to hear that their console is the best overall. From all the PS3 fanboys post I've read, I learned that for the price of the PS3 wasn't worth it. It's like all the Sony fanboys need someone to tell them that the money they spent on their PS3 was worth it........Isn't using the game system supposed to make you feel like you spent your money well.

When I bought my PS2 it didn't brainwash me to worship Sony.........Did Sony I buy a defective PS2 without the hypnotizing feature????
