Am I missing something. . .$675??? For a video gaming system??? I realize that some of you guys are really into your games but $675??? That seems like a lot of money just to play games

 

i see a f150 meet. we can all go to your house and play the ps3

 

x2

 

It's just not a game system, you can plug a keyboard into it and use it for another PC to surf the I-net and F150-Online

 

You bring up the Makers Mark and i will put in a fresh Keg of Labatt Blue and it's on!

 

It's also a Blu-ray DVD player, which by itself is hundreds of dollars.

 

I have both as well. The PS3 kicks major ****. Its only downfall is it doesn't have the game build-up since its only been out a few months! WIth the few games released however, its not hard to see the potential of the system and just how bad its going to trounce the 360 and Wii. I think the PS3 is underrated while the Wii is overrated.

The only thing the 360 has over the PS3 is the ability to download content in the background, stream audio/video/pics from a PC, and IMO a slightly more comfortable controller.

Oh, and in addition to the 360 running much hotter, it sounds like a Lear Jet landing in my living room. Thank god I play games with the surround sound cranked or I'd go insane listening to the fans whine.

 

I think the 360 is a much better console, With a 20 dollar intercooler, it never gets hot. My girlfriends little brother has played at times over 6 hrs straight with no issues.

Their are better games, better controller, better online play, ps3 sucks

 

That $20 intercooler is a waste. Your just messing with the systems designed cooling. The 360 runs hot regardless, the stock fans are fine. Why on earth would you want to make it even louder than it already is?

Duh on the 'better' games, there are only a handful on the PS3. Controller is debatable... there are over 250,000,000 (estimate) PS controllers around - and the PS3 controller is basically the same as the PS2, which was basically the same as the PS... they got it right the first time and no need to change a great thing. And how is online play 'better' on the 360? They both work the same, system signs on, you go online with games and do whatever. Plus the PS3 allows for bluetooth headsets for communication - bad ****!

 

Xbox= 3 month warranty. PS3 = 1 year warranty. Sony stands behind their systems. I had a problem with our ps2, sent it in after the year warranty was up and they repaired it for free. That's why i bought the PS3

 

I see. Now that's cleared up. . .

. . .but this is about as clear as mud. You lost me with Blu-ray, I have no freaking idea what the devil that is.

 

It's Hi-Definition DVD...same thing as standard and Hi-Def TV

 

Except it has alot more room on it for other storage. Im talking about the disk it self. Blu ray and HD are 2 differnt formats

 

i just bought my 7 year old son a ps3 for his birthday thursday. between the ps3 an extra controler, 2 games, and a warranty it cost $800

 

I give up, I mean it seems like we just got into DVD's as apposed to VHS and now there's Blu-ray. I'm already so far behind I'll never catch up

No offense but Blu-ray sounds like something you'd find in a Star Wars movie - Luke Skywalker opts for the new Blu-ray light saber, advanced technology and more safety features than your standard light saber at a fraction of the cost!!
