should i sell my 60gb PS3 now while the goings good?

What nonsense is this?
Microsoft do a one off holiday special deal of old stock 360 arcades at £65 for a few units, and now the 360 has a street price of £65?

The PS3, which comes bundled with 3 games for £289 or on its own for £249 (£25 more than an Elite, its direct competitor) and it all of a sudden has a street price of £300 on its own?

At least post something near the facts if you are going to argue.

Oh sorry, 250 for the lowest cost PS3 versus 100 street price for the lowest cost 360.

My point still stands. You know you don't have anything to say when all you can do is quibble over little mistakes in my argument. Give it up my man.
 
This thread is the Icing on the cake for me.

The console forum is pathetic.

Im out of here good luck for 2009 i have had enuff of the bull.

ps. and before some one says "you did not contribute anyway" whats the point ? no one can agree with one other any of the time,i think it's a age related issue.

Ah ****, a forum with polarizing opinions, I'm outta here!
 
Are you for real?

It's a games console with benefits...not a PC!!! Seriously!

A PS3 is like a brand new bmw with nearly all the optional extras, whereas the 360 is like a Ford Mondeo with all the optional extras.... where there are some overlaps in 'extras' offered the PS3 still does 40% more than the 360...and it has 'that' badge on the hood!

Then why do people harp on about it being so much more than a console then?

All I hear is

The PS3 has so much more:

It plays BD
Its wireless
Can be networked
You can surf the net on it
etc....

It only understand FAT32 FFS
won't upscale DVD's when played from HDD
Won't stream DTS

I could go:p

I'm not going to even entertain your BMW comment as its just ludicrous :p

They arent little mistakes dude, more complete misrepresentation of the facts.

The PS3 is now priced at the same point as the elite near enough, a arcade 360 is NOT a direct comparison to a PS3.
If you buy an arcade, and actually want to do anything other than play the arcade titles, you need an HDD, even for BC or scratching the surface of live, and unless you have it within cable distance or your router, you need a Wireless unit
All of which puts it within spitting distance of a PS3.
So why bother.

But nobody says that the PS3 also has the features of a fully-fledged media hub; you seem to be the only person who expects it to be one. The three criticisms you've mentioned aren't exactly common (two of them are new to me), so clearly they're not major issues.
 
eh?

why are people going on about cars?

Answer the question please...;)

:rolleyes: Youve basically saying a fiesta is just as good as a lambo as theyre both cars. Think things through. Its obvious you dont like your PS3 and you seem to think it should be some sort of elite omg media server, which its not. If youre so in love with HTPC etc. you should be posting here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=29.

My point is.. its OK for people to spout off about how good the PS3 and what it can do.

But when it comes to critical analysis its clear its flawed in many ways.


For gaming its overpriced, Then people say it does so much more to justify this high price.

Thats my point.
 
loads of stuff:p

Youre confusing me, first of all its a BD player and a 360, now its a HTPC youre comparing a PS3 to. Which one is it ? If youre saying a PS3 cant do what a HTPC does then mostly you are correct, if you are saying that a 360 and a BD player can do all that a PS3 can do then i feel ill have to disagree.
In the end the PS3 gives me things i cannot get from a 360 ie God of War, Gran Turismo, Uncharted and built in BD, wifi etc. In the same way others want a 360 to play Gears, Halo etc and dont want BD or Wifi and the extra cost is not justified.

I have never mentioned cars as Its a rubbish analogy.:p

I don't own a PS3 either.

I posted in the cinema section about getting a BR player and everyone said get a PS3 as its more than a BR player and console.

Well after looking into why would I want a PS3?

I don't see any benefits in owning one.
 
K fair enough thats your opinion. The 18 million that do see the benefits of owning one are probably content so lets leave it at that.

Is it **** you can't even have a private chat with your mates easily (without playng the same game) or even create parties like you can on the 360, not to mention the awful voice communication that comes with the PS3 in the form of cheapy £10 woolies-esque Bluetooth headsets. Even the crap ones that are bundled with the 360 are way better.

your talking about chatting. Not online gaming. Which i take to mean btw - as playing games -.

It would have been if it offered the same in-game accessibility of OS features, party play, bundled headsets in to chat to people online with consoles.

But it doesn't. PS3 online is like a disjointed network between console and online and without people talking. It just lacks the social aspect that Xbox360 offers, which is why Sony have been piling cash into Home.

i'll agree the 360 has better social aspect but both do online gaming except the PS3 does it for free and indeed with Home it will easily equal the 360 social aspects... will be interesting to see what argument is used then...

If i have a gaming console being online is about GAMING first at its most basic level. Microsoft have said no you cant play a 360 game online without their permission and money paid toward them.

Sony have said - sure m8 on you go - playing online is free for you, have fun :)
