PS3 price doesn’t have to come down. Sales are up, and will only increase. So why would Sony drop the price? They already lose a good bit on every console anyhow.

The PS3 has just this year really hit its stride, and become the console everyone was hoping it would have been upon release. The new 2.41 firmware adds just about everything I wanted. Sony has shown that the will continue to upgrade the PS3 substantially through firmware. Works for me.

The PS3 is a no brainer for $399, and if you shop smart, you cant get it for close to $300. Top notch Blu ray, upscales SD DVD’s, bluetooth, I can add a new hdd up to 250gb for under $100, surf the internet, etc.

Apparently a new 360 SKU is going to be on the shelves soon. It WON’T have Blu-ray but it might have a 60GB HDD.

“Consoles are for kids.”
-Waste money keeping the PC up to date every few years.
-Everyone is playing under different specs making games harder to develop.
-Easier to mod/hack games.

When using a console it insures playing is fair and if the game works on 1 system its problebly going to work on millions of others.
PC gaming has come to a standstill due to consoles, and I for one am happy about it.

Not to mention the fact that these new gen consoles are not as good a graphics as people think. An 8800gt & decent C2D cpu will urinate all over any console.

The only problem is, us REAL pc gamers will have only shoddy ports to play.

Why do people always call Sony evil, I man sure they want to make money what else is the purpose of selling something.

Microsoft are the real evil company, they re just out to dominate whatever market they get into by spending billions (which they never even got back yet) to push a console on the market in an already competitive market. They then charge all their customer monthly charges to go online for what I don’t know.

Although they invested some money into HDDVD they turned their backs on it and let it die just so they can launch their online movie service that they will also take a cut on like anything else sold on the Xbox live system.

That’s my take on it anyway. Also everything is an extra on cheaper Xbox model, you want to recharge your controller you have buy batteries and so on. Only upside is you can mod it to play copied games which will void the warranty so when it goes wrong which it probably will at some point you are buggered.

Oh and games will never fill up a DVD, .

Just so you know, the Xbox 360 is actually has shoddy quality work. It breaks down, needs repair, etc. This applies to old and new models as well. I hear many terror stories. Much more than the PS3.

The concept of BioShock and its graphics yes, but the overall game no.
It does not draw you in and has no replay value once complete, not to mention the endings (yes theres 2) suck.

I would suggest downloading the PC demo if you have a gfx card capable of playing it.

Its dropping its price because the parts are getting cheaper to manufacture.

Xbox 360 dominates the PS3 when it comes to the quality games and multiplayer.
Sony have no experience when it comes to online gaming, and it shows with each lagged up & buggy game.

@53 dale

If I was wrong about the 360 Arcade then I apologise. Lots of forums I have read stated that the Core/Arcade needed the HDD to play games online. Whether or not it just need a memory card, I don’t know but this type of info is all over the place.

I’m not incorrect in everything I post. The PS3 has it’s faults, it’s not a perfect machine BUT it’s faults are nowhere near as troublesome as those on the 360.

What was said about the 360 (including the 360 Elite) not being capable of recording or handling live TV is very true, it’s stated very clearly on BBC News article.

Don’t be rude to me, I haven’t sworn at anyone here. We can have a discussion without resorting to swearing or name calling.

I have a question for you Dave: Is BioShock a good game?

XBox sucks so it has to drop it’s price to try and catch up with all the other console sales. The only console that sold less than the XBox last month was the PSP(also a POS) so it looks like the public has spoken. Wii is the best. PS3 is 2nd. Xbox is last, as always.
