“360 has hd-dvd but even so most ppl dont have hd tv so ure paying for a blu ray players u wont need. ”

the HD DVD drive for the 360 is not built in dufus.
enjoy swapping disk regularly just to play gears of war, that is if you aren’t forced to buy the HD DvD componnent just to play the game..i’ll go next gen with the Ps3 thank you.

Sony will see to it that ps3 will make sales records..never underestimate the combination of their solid fanbase combined with the spending power of rich gamers who buy anything thats out..microsoft would have to drop the 360 to half price and add full compatibility with ps2 games to hurt their launch.

600 McChicken Sandwhiches… that’s like 1.7 a day, something like that, over the course of a year. That’s 629 calories a
day for a year.

A terrible used car? My friend got a 1987 Cavalier with 40k
miles on it for $400, and it runs pretty well. The extra
$200 could probably cover 5 trips to the gas station,
probably net you 1500-2000 miles of travel. Which means
you could get from almost anywhere in the US to mexico for $600, food excluded.

$600 could get you two months rent in a shitty apartment.

$600 could probably feed a small african village for a year or
two.

My opinion on the whole deal with the ps3 is as follows. I dont have a HDTV, so the blu-ray is something that is useless to me. I was more fortunate than the person who has almost a grand wrapped up in their 360 in this way. I bought the 360 and a game and walked out for like $440 i believe maybe a lil less.

Im an xbox fan ( not quite a fanboy) but i dont see any games that are Must haves for ps3. Hell i barely played my ps2. Me personally i like the 360 wii combo and will probably do that. I will say though maybe the ps3 will be a great console but for value per dollar i think the wii will probably the best there and then 360. I like the route 360 by coming up with the hd-dvd player later on because from working in the industry i know MOST people who play games do not have high definition. Just my .02

Say that PS3 harware deserves those 600$, even more.
The question is, how you get advantage of it?

Given sony’s policy so far (see PSP and PS2), here is a prediction:
-60Gig Hd, just for the saved games, or photos, or music bought from “selected” sites. (sony will make sure you don’t use your disk for “illegal” purposes, such as backing up movies, or games, or whatever else has real fun)
-BlueRay player (wow!) not out of Sony’s goodness, but as an attempt to control the market with proprietary hardware and force its own standards. Of course, putting inside a proper cd with my photos will be detected as a malicious attempt for piracy! A copied cd! burn it!
-Great CPU, GPU et al: sounds wonderful, but can I use it as I wish? Of course not!
It’s made of sony for sony. You may own it, but sony uses it as it wishes.
