Thanks.. lol well i was hoping it would get better on page 2.. and then nearer the buttom.. it has "potential" lol.. but it never did anything with it.. stop beating around the bush ign !

I agree, why does everyone keep saying you need wifi for the 360. Wifi is slow compared to cable. I would never use wifi for PC or games console. Also unless you are going to download alot of content then the $199 is OK. You can play all the games. The Arcade gives you everything you need to play games.

Yeah i gotta agree with you, IGN does seem to miss the Point in the end. :P

What an awful read, but you can't expect better out of Chris Roper, one of the biggest jokes in video game media ever. Misses some of the better points to make about PS3 like the fact that all PS3 controllers are wireless and rechargeable while 360 controllers need the recharge pack that costs more money.

Couple these with facts that you can get HD cables for a lot cheaper yet 360 has that flat rate on the WiFi adapter that doesn't half assed work with lots of drop outs, lag, and difficulty getting online...

And on top of it all he dismisses the Wii as a console of value, because of what you ask? Graphics cause he sure as hell can't make up an excuse any other way...

Even when I get my PS3 this friday and my love for the IGN Nintendo team, I have never and will never support Chris Roper and his partner in stupidity Jeff Haynes, the only one I like on IGN Sony team and will read the reviews from is Greg Miller but his Spider-man Web of Shadows hate put me off a bit though he's entitled to his slip ups like every reviewer I don't see how a game with such great gameplay could get a 5... but other then that I love the guy!

Clearly an article that was written with x360 bias in mind as it doesn't even touch the subject of Live subscription.

Of course if included it would look badly for x360.

Oh well smart people will calculate for themselves and will know that PS3 offers best value for money you can get in console world this day.

Well to be fair Roper is through and through a Sony fanboy, but he's an idiot, so you must forgive him for forgetting about something as simple as online service costs money on 360 I'm sure he either doesn't play enough of it to know or they get free online so they can do reviews.

I agree.... WiFi  not needed... actually worse then ethernet, not a good gaming standard as far as im concerned (and yes I have tried it on various occasions). I prefer to have the option to not have it 

All depends on your set up really.  Did you play with Wifi on your 360?  With one of the worst wireless adapters ever made?  Then yes it would be an horrible experience and LAN is the way to go but then you need to figure in the amount of cable you need to wire your router to your console, but my experiences with wireless on PS3, Wii, and my PC have all been amazing, I also have a great router to boot, I've played Unreal 2004 on my laptop while watching my GFs little brothers and sister with my router still at my house (we lived next door to each other at the time) at least 200 feet away traveling through her house and then my house and yet still played online with no lag, so reall wireless can be a great experience and fine for gaming if you have the right set up.

no of course not, and that may be your experience. however here, and the people i work with have been movie back to ethernet over wifi, it was faster, suffers less packet loss, and is more secure (even with throwing down things for wifi, like mac addy recognition, and other security, which does slow down wifi). I never said it couldnt be used, i simply said it was not a good gaming standard. and unless your using a portable, or handheld device, your cheating yourself by using it. 

While cable connection is prefered solution it get's a bit problemtic when you need to put cables through half your living room to connect console :D
