this is flaimbait food for fanboys so i will ignore this topic.
This. There are so many fanboyish comments it's ridiculous o.0 The PS3 is useless? It has no games? It's too expensive? The 40GB Bigger HDD then premium 360, Wireless, Blu-Ray, and it also has games for 400$ all out of the box. The 360 Premium when it came out was 400$, What did it offer? A smaller HDD, No Wireless, DVD, but it had a couple more games then the PS3. Wow, wonder who got the better deal? The 360 has 3 USB ports IIRC, the 40GB has 2. Wow buy a hub, The 40GB doesn't have a card reader, neither does any of the 360's not even the elite, come on microsoft wtf. Seriously the ''too expensive'' comment is a failure, for a 360 to even COMPARE to the PS3 in terms of things you can do with it, would make the 360 Arcade ( 280$ ) cost over 450$. Wow whats the expensive console now? Really some of these comments seem downright retarded.
Comments are not retarded , it is too expensive if you just want a games console. Yes it plays blue ray , yes it has wireless, a bigger hdd , but all these things drive the price up. For the 360 to match it , yes it costs alot , but you don't have to buy all the extras.
Don't want hd dvd , don't buy the add on drive , don't care about wireless , don't buy the adapter. Same with the hdd , not bothered about live or downloads or multimedia , just get the memory card.
The ps3 is a great piece of kit , no doubt about it , if you want an all in one multimedia machine + games console. If you are looking soley for gaming and nothing else , then the price is too much.
Seems to me you started this thread , then when people start trashing your beloved ps3 , you get touchy and accuss people of being fanboys.
