This forum was opened in 2007 and after nearly 16 years needs to be retired. The forum software is long out of date and has become progressively harder to patch in order to run on newer hosting software. I have done what I can to get the forum up in a read-only view, but posting will remain broken. A few old members still hang out on Discord if you'd like to stop by to say hello.
Thanks for the memories. -Lhurgoyf

Good one Megaman,
I also think that a pc is the best way to go. But you cant say that the new consoles put out some crazy games. But a console is just a pc in a staight jacket, really look at it for what it is. And you are going to have to buy a new console every few years. Also how much are the dam games for these things, omg wtf. Think about it when a console puts out part two of a game they charge you like $60, when pc games just put out a new expantion for like 20 bucks (most pc game you can get free of charge...cough cough). PCs can do so much more then a console its silly to try and compare them. You do realize the all consoles are just pc with some custom parts, they use the exact same technology. And they sure as shit any upgradable. |

Sony backpedals to try and save face after embarrassingly false Fact Sheet catches TONS of heat.
Quote:
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.

I can see some fact in the fact sheet to be comparable to the PS3 which in fact comes with a blu-ray drive they would have to purchase the HD-DVD. NOw the part where it says required is wrong but if you where to buy the core system and wanted it to be compareable to the PS3 then yes a couple of things would have to be purchased if you did already buy it in the bundle but in the end sony did make Microsoft look pretty bad and they are trying to justify there price tag. As if microsoft doesn't do things like loan money to macintosh and help them port there OS over so they don't look like a monopoly. Reguardless sony is getting what they deserver and Microsoft will also one day to in the OS arena delivering poorly construsted OS's with huge security holes and what not I am in belief that if they sell an OS it should funtion the way it is intended to and no crash out hang-up or bluescreen. If there were a way to sue microsoft for selling me a subpar lied about OS then they would have gone under long ago can you say monopoly. Anywya before I piss off all the MS fan boys I am out. PC's Rule consoles suxor Build SLI and Blow your mind.

LoL. Yeah, but why buy the core system if you want all that? Buy the premium for $300-$350 that comes with the hard drive, headset, wireless control, 1 month of live gold, etc etc. And who cares if the PS3 has blueray? They don't have HDDVD, which right now is beating Blueray, and most people, i'd say 99%, don't even have 1080p TVs or the money to dip into the HDMovie era, so since the Blueray and HDDVD do nothing for your gaming experience, they shouldn't even be considered.
And PC gaming is really dead lately my friend. If it wasn't, so many of us wouldn't be looking to jump in with the 360 and Xbox Live experience. Just my opinion. I better stop before I anger all you PC Fanboys.
