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.

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.

@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.

Present day gaming is all about network usability, both in play and support. Console gaming evens the playing field, something pc gaming can not offer. Gaming over a network on a console is best with a wired connection connected to a server that can handle awesome amounts of traffic.

PS3 is Sony’s real first attempt with live gaming. I couldn’t even get my PS2 to system link playing GT4. It’s my opinion they(Sony) are in a little over their head on this one.

PS1 was cool.
SNES was cool.
