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 The forum software is long out of date and has become progressively harder to patch in order to run on newer hosting software.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

i wonder why they didnt mension that xbox live is actually free, its just gold you pay for, silver can play multiplayer and everything still, and according to that you can have wireless controllers from sony for free! because the core system comes with a control pad so it doesnt require you to buy one.
Sony owned themself

There's a lot of false info in that Sony ad. It's pretty sad really. This isn't the first time though. Sony tried to say Xbox360 wont have any Native 1080p games, which infact the 360 will, and Sony knew it, but Sony spun it to make it sound like the PS3 was superior. They're realizing their hardware isn't going to win this war for them since the PS3 is no better than the 360 in most areas, so to make people think the $600 is worth it, they're lying to their consumers. I mean, can you blame them? They're backed into a corner, the company is broke taking out loands everywhere, they lost their exclusives, stocks dropping cause of the overheating rumors, etc etc. Sony is hurting here, they gotta do something to try and make up some ground.

Also, remember this is the same company that told everyone the PS2 would have Toy Story graphics. We should have expected more lies after their E3 of tons of CG preRendered graphics and Sony claiming it was all in game, then later got caught in their lies.

I mean what happened to dual hdmi ports, 3 Port Gigabit switch, 2 times as powerful as 360, they downgraded RSX GPU to 500mhz, downgraded system memory speed to 650mhz, No Spring 06 world wide launch, $600, 7 controller support, tard pack is really tarded, no hdmi cable, etc

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

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.
