You have 223 posts in a gaming sales website and you don't know the consoles' prices in your own country?

1 - I said I was buying the console in the states

2 - Me posting on a gaming site doesn't mean my posts have anything to do with the value of the console.

3 - Could you tell me where I say i don't know the price of the consoles here in Venezuela?

Anyways, thanks, think I'm going with the PS3 for 4 main reasons:

- Free Online
- Reliability
- Friend's have online aswell
- If my 360 were to break do to RROD or any other reason, I'd have to wait months for it to get fixed because I'd need to send it back to the States for the fix

Now, I need to know the prices on the PS3. How much is the 80 Gig version, what does it come with, what add-ons should I get for it, etc.

Thanks to everyone, you guys have me some great info.

The PS3 is more worth the money too - you get more for the price!

until blu ray movies become obsolete.

By that time the dvd for the 360 would be on ashes.

psp = 2nd place in a 2 horse race and UMD is dead, DS is mopping the floor with it despite it having no movie format

ps3 3rd in a 3 horse race........ blu ray is just simply not that huge of a step up compared to what we got between vhs and dvd

dvd will outlive blu ray

Bottom line____________________

That's misleading. Yes it does exist. All HW have a chance of breaking (even wii and ps3's). and i think the 360's is still higher failure rate (even though its gotten a million times better) than wii's a ps3's... but you guys... he already made up his mind why is everyone still trying to convince him... he should now be helping him with the purchase and software sasles.

I guess this wouldn't be the time for shouting : get a wii?

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.
