Sony kills 20GB Playstation 3

[BigSKINBauer]

I am seriously considering buying a PS3, Xbox 360, or wii. I have some birthday money and work money to blow on something. The problem is, i really don't feel like getting anything but i didn't get anything last year on my birthday either. Maybe i should save my money? I think i want to buy something for the sake of buying something.

The HD dvd vs. Blu-ray may actually have a huge effect on my decision and it looks like that race is done Pie charts indicate Blu-ray victory over HD DVD assured | Crave : The gadget blog

If you are into buying Blu-ray movies at $30 a pop, go right ahead. I have chosen to wait that whole battle out until the prices drop on the hardware a little bit.

That is true too. When do you think the price of movies will fall? The blu-ray players are just really expensive and i'll probably take the PS3 to school with me if i get it, unlike a blu ray player. My roommate might be bringing his 42 inch HDTV with him . He said that last year too but his parents said no.
I doubt the PS3 will drop again anytime before the holidays so if i am to get one i should really get it the day the price drops to $500.

Ok this year the Ps3 will be 30 frames per second on NCAA and Madden the Xbox 360 will be 60. Butthere have been reports of the Xbox's malfunctioning and all the features of the PS# blow out the regular 360 and it beats out the Elite as well. The Wii really doesnt even compete as far as I am concerned.

BSB the thing to note is that 360's are fucking up. I think Microsoft is recalling a ton of them because they mess up. Almost 50 percent I think.

I think that impacts old 360's more though. Plus they just extended the warranty to 3 years.

[skinsfanthru&thru]

and it's actually around 30%, but as dj said they just extended their warranty's to an unprecedented 3 years (and possibly too late to make a bunch of consumers happy.) I honestly don't know what someone's smoking who has both that at this point would recommend the PS3 with it's whoping 40 some titles compared to the 360's 140 some titles. Like I've stated before I'm planning on getting a PS3 as well a bit after the price drop cuz they will finally have some worthwhile titles like Lair, Heavenly Sword, and Uncharted and not just a bunch of delayed ports of 360 titles. As someone who sells this stuff on a daily basis and sees and hears a bunch of the behind the scenes stuff, right now your money in all honesty is going to get you the most bang for your buck by going towards a 360 or waiting til next year when another PS3 price drop occurs and even more worthwhile titles are out. The PS3 is also going to suffer a little longer from 3rd party developers being frustrated by the difficulty developing titles for the PS3, and that will result in what's happening with Madden, NCAA, and 2K8 having scaled back ports of their 360 counterparts. The Wii is cool but it is suffering from the same thing the PS3 is with big exclusive titles. When the sweet as hell looking Smash Bros and Mario Galaxy come out, snatch one up if you can find one. This would be the exact same thing I would be telling to someone who was a close personal friend, as I've tried in the past to help some friends or really good customers make up their minds and ALL of them have regretted going the PS3 route up to this point. No matter what choice you make, you'll have fun, but in my honest opinion, the best value right now is the 360. In the end it's your money so enjoy it haha.
