Meanwhile, effective tomorrow, all previous PS3 models will be seeing a $100 price-cut. So that's $299 for the 80GB model and $399 for the 160GB. Yeah right, a $ = €. Oh for who's interested, the elite will get a price cut aswell, Xbox Elites that is, and oh, what's this, also 299$. And huh? OMG 3 months of Xbox Live, a headset, 120gb HDD AND a game? Well damn! Sony, you're going to beat Microsoft. Sheesh, when will that damn console die. More and more xbox's are getting sold by the day, heck, the wii's are even doing better then the PS in some countries. Oh and PS3 online sucks DONKEY BALLS, you wanna know why? The console doesn't even have a free headset, you have to buy one extra, which causes 75% of the people having no headsets, golly george, lets play a teamgame, oh wait, MY TEAM HAS NO MIC. And that's how much I love the PS3.

Oh and if you're trying to provoke something with calling me a fanboy, it won't work, because I simply say "yes, I am a fanboy" because I am one. But it's not that hard with all the crap that's out there on the streets. Wii will get crushed by the awesomeness of Natal, Nintendo has no cool games anymore, IMO having Mario number 9000 is NOT cool anymore in my book. And I don't see what other games the Wii have?

king of the world Posts: 993 Group: Members Member #43 Joined: Nov 29, 2008	Well THAT is the problem you really think the wii will lose? it has a 20million lead which is only growing. Natal should be out next year till then the lead could reach 25million. The problem with Natal is the cost, as someone who uses my pc for gaming (at least used to) I have no reason for buying any other console till the wii came out. Now that I have a wii why would I spend $300+ on a new 360+Natal? It will be at least 2 years till Natal has any good games for it, so I don't see the 360 outselling the wii on a month to month basis till 2012, by then I think we will be getting a glimpse of the new consoles. PS3 has one thing that the 360 doesn't and that is the SONY name which is much more well known then Microsoft, I think this price cut will bring them closer to the 360. The PS3 has sold only 10million less then the 360 while the 360 is out longer (the gap is growing but not for long) 360 is the best console to buy (as long as you don't have a gaming PC) for online games and for a lot of there unique games (Mass effect). PS3 is now the same price as the 360 and has some huge advantages in hardware over the 360. Now that both consoles cost the same you will see a lot of people that bought new 360 after there old one RROD move to a PS3. WII is really boring console that has some good games like BRAWL but is selling like hot cakes because of it's appeal. It will sell the most in the long run and it brought the most money to it's company out of the 3. In the end just buy a GREAT PC and you will have much more fun.

The whole RROD issue? The ratings are wrong, all the numbers are simply wrong. You want to know why? I'll tell you, the first generations of the Xbox give red rings when you disconnect your TV cable, thus also giving one when you weren't able to connect your cable correctly. 60% of the people thought they were RROD'ing. Ever since the new generation Xbox's don't have this error anymore, the ratings have been dropped massivly. But hey, I don't know, I'm just a MS Fanboy. <3

If you want a motion control console you get a Wii. you don't get a motion control add-on for a console that is made for proper gaming, rather than party gaming. The game library for NATAL will consist of some gimmicky stuff that will fade out like Wii tennis and other games of the same liking. The only difference is, it won't sell at all, seeing as nintendo already did all that slap my bottom and call me sally 3 years ago and raped the market for every scrap of cash in that department. When i stopped thinking as a fanboy, i realised it was plain stupid to look at the Wii in contention with the PS3 and 360 as it's a completely different type of console. It's almost like comparing a handheld console to a 360, their purposes are just not the same. The reasons 360 is better than PS3 however are as follows 1)360 is cheaper 2)360 games are cheaper 3)Overall, 360 has a better range of exclusives 4)Live has way more features than PSN* *-On live, you can speak to other friends who are playing other games. On PSN you must be in the same game party or game lobby to be able to speak to other friends online. -Live gets DLC for their games much earlier than PSN -XBL has game-on-demand, meaning you can download games on the day of release rather than having to go to the store and hope it's not sold out

The graphics are pretty awesome but the gameplay-graphics doesnt match to games such as Gears of War and Halo yeah they are sequels but Mario sequels are pretty lame theres gotta be +50 sequels of mario since the first release or something hardly a fair comparsion to halo and gears when they were built to have storylines that lasted longer than 1 game such as Mass Effect a 3-game trilogy which was planned from the beginning i dont think that the mario developers planned on making so many spin offs. Its pretty ridicoulus. PSN ive never played on to be honest so i cant be critical but i just cant see how it compares to Live in anyway, apart from the trophies. Yeah live costs money but 5 per month is naff all or 40 a year is pocket money really(talking in £££s), for the service you get returned it really is a great investment. I havent read much into Natal and wont do either probably, Wii is successful with families but anyone who owns them uses them for dust collectors after the novelty has worn off. Everyone i know who has bought a Wii has been yay.. and then not so yay a month later lol.
