With so many more features and less failure rates, better graphics and bigger games, you can't pass up on a PS3 now.

i was thinking about picking up a spare 360...



$180 with free shipping is a pretty good deal.



this is actually better for me than an elite price cut.



and for the love of god, please don't even reply to felis...

PS3 doesn't really have better graphics. Because Blu-ray has a huge disc space Sony devs just have more room for better details.



Anyways M$ isn't in a bad spot yet to make them desperate. But this is a good start for MS. Finally they release a full system for cheap price. Still no Wi-Fi though.

If you really believe PS3 has no games I need not say more to you, you are too stupid to bother with.

COD4:MW2 will have mute option in lobbies also.

The arcade model itself is the exact same as every other 360, so you can play original X-Box games on it, you just need to purchase a hard drive to do it. Sucks you have to pay extra, but at least you have the option, unlike all the PS3's that have been released recently.



On a similar note, I really think Sony could do better with the PS3 if they stopped production on the PS2 and brought back BC. Especially with this new price cut, I think that would really bring their sales up.

I didn't know that either until I read your post and did some research...



Here is what I found, straight from the horses' mouth:

I read to the end of that thread and apparently its because it is using Hong Kong HDD?

But with both consoles having practically the same games and the PS3 having the stronger library exclusive vs exclusive there really isn't much reason to buy a 360 other than friend preference. Unless you have the money for both systems of course, go for it.

Exclusives vs exclusives is exactly why there is still a big reason to chose one console over the other. Not everyone likes Gran Turismo and God of War. I know a bunch of people who only play Halo 3 or Gears. I think it'd be a waste to buy a 360 just for Halo 3, which isn't even that amazing and I always tell my friends they're dumb for doing so, but if that's all you wanna play there really isn't much of a reason to even consider a PS3.
