Forums - Gaming - At what price would you buy a Wii/Xbox 360/PS3?

For those of you who don't already own all three current systems, at what price would you be tempted enough to make a purchase?

I only own a Wii right now (got it at launch) but I've been tempted by the HD consoles lately since I'm a big fan of music games and the HD iterations have better DLC options.

I'd buy an Xbox 360 for $225 US if it came with a 60 GB hard drive and wireless.

I'd buy a PS3 (80 GB) for $300 US since I would likely get more use out of it as a Bluray player than as a gaming machine.

 

Edit: Prices updated to reflect the fact that I was speaking in US$. My apologies.

PS3 for $750 because thats what i bought it at in canada

360 for $400 cause thats what i bought it at in Canada

Wii i'd pay about $100 for it, not because i don't like it. Just cause i already have 2 consoles and wouldn't want to spend more than $100 on another one.



I bought all of mine day one releases 360/Wii/PS3. But I gave my Wii to my mum and my 360 died ages ago and I never bothered to get it fixed. That said:
I'm actually considering getting a 360 elite if it drops to $200 AUS, Wii I might get one just for the sake of it if it drops to $150 AUS.



I'd pass on a 360, since I've got a gaming PC and most of the 360 games that appeal to me come out on the PC (only exception: Dead Rising).

I'd consider a PS3 for around $150, but not much more, because it doesn't yet have enough exclusives that appeal to me (exceptions: Uncharted, fl0w, Ratchet & Clank).



ps3 for 300!, 100% sure

Wii at $279.99, I payed $279.99. Elite at $449, I payed $449. PS3 at $300-400, I payed $500, but I had to buy a ps3 because BC was on the way out.

If I am satisfied with the purchase right away, it wouldn't matter if I payed $100 or $500, but if the purchase does not satisfy me (again this is right away), I think to myself that I should have just waited a lot longer namely when it would have appealed to me more.



 

hmm i think i would rather buy a PS3 than a 360 coz of the bluray player even tho i dont have a HDTV yet and i would pay around 200 € i thin.

But i have so many games i still have to finish on my wii and ds that i probably wouldnt buy it right away either



   

Improvements are caused by people who complain

PS3 for 200 bucks. It needs to compete against other Blu-ray players while not being horrendously expensive, as well as having a price point that justifies the games. As soon as that happens, I could think of quite a few games I would buy.



 

 

PS3 for around $125



360 for 200 with 60GB HDD.
PS3 for 250 because of the blu-ray player.

I will buy the one that comes don to that price first.
