So my head just exploded.

I also like how they chose the most expensive way to go about getting your XBOX360 to match PS3's functionality...

The chart is showing you what you would need to buy if you are wanting all of PS3's functionality. Anyone who's going in with this in mind would NOT buy the Core system. They'd buy the Premium system that comes with a wireless controller, the 20G HDD, a headset (sold seperately on PS3), and Component cables (sold seperately on PS3) for only $100 more.

Also, if you're buying the HD-DVD drive for the 360, it comes with a remote control (sold seperately on PS3), and a HD-DVD movie (Blu-Ray movie only included in first shipment of PS3s).

If Sony REALLY was playing the "how much would they cost if you matched feature-for-feature, then they'd include all of that.

Not to mention, you should NEVER underestimate the value of CHOICE.

 

[Zenien]

I keep forgeting your the one who thinks that the core 360 is a good SKU aren't you?

It's not like Microsoft hasn't had similarly skewed comparisons (Like the one IGN put up that did idiotic things and had lies in it).

But use this to further narrow your vision, by all means.

Anyway, has Sony confirmed a price on their headsets yet? Rumor is you can use any Blue Tooth device, so any BT headset should work.

Of course the comparison would be made to favor the company that is making it, do you guys not understand how these things work? Or are you just ajusting your expectations and standards in such a way to act indignent when Sony does what every other company does.

Get over it.

Man you're a bitter little tool.

I'm not sure if that's directed at me or not, but I'll answer anyway.

For me and what I want out of a system, the Core 360 is unnecessary. I like to play online and have a HDD so for my muisic, game saves, videos, demos, and XBLA games. So for the price, I definitely need the Premium system. So in my individual case, the Core doesn't help me.

BUT what about a parent who's buying their kid an XBOX360?

They don't want their kid to be online with their game system, so that means no need for space for videos, demos, and XBLA games. They have no interest in putting their own songs on the system. Thus, the HDD is completely unnecessary. But they want to save their games? Fine then, buy a $30 extra, they can do so with a memory card.

So for someone who just wants to play their games and doesn't care about online, marketplace, or song-ripping, a Core 360 and a memory card would be the perfect match. $330 compared to $400.


So again. For MY case, the Core 360 does me no good and isn't even really an option. But to assume that the Core isn't right for ANYONE is just plain wrong.


Again....'choice".

Following the tremendous heat that Sony’s next-generation comparison fact sheet generated, the company has decided to issue a statement. Dave Karraker, Senior Director of Corporate Communications of SCEA informed us:

"Through our comparison chart we are not implying that you must purchase the myriad of peripherals and add-ons that Microsoft offers to play your Xbox 360. You don't. However, if you want to attempt to come close to the performance of the $499 PlayStation 3 by using your Xbox 360, Core or Premium, you could only do that through expensive add-ons -- that is what our chart is demonstrating. Once you add it all up, it would cost you more than our $499 unit, and you would still not come close to everything we offer, ie: free multiplayer gaming, 50GB storage capacity of Blu-ray disc, Blu-ray disc player for games AND movies, processing power of the Cell Broadband Engine."


We are still waiting for an official comment from Microsoft on Sony's announcements and claims.

 

[Zenien]

He's right, you know!

 

[블라스]

LOL!

 

[블라스]

I don't get it, though.
First they say they're not about the movies, yet they use the blu-ray movie player as an advantage

= Is truth! Sony machine am better!

 

[Zenien]

You grabbed that quote from the Bizarro world where Bizarro Superman speaks the truth.

 

[블라스]

But we're on Earth, so....no

 

[Zenien]

And you grabbed a quote from a fictional character who exists in the multiverse of DC, so I just designated the appropreate universe of the Multiverse to that Bizzaro.

 

[블라스]

It doesn't work like that, sorry

 

[Mr. Smash'n Bash]

Don't look me in the face and tell me he's straight.

If my art history classes serve me well, I think he actually had a wife and kids.
