PlayStation 3 80GB Right now

Monday, February 15, 2010 by Migo | Posted in , , , , ,


Now think of me as a gamer from the nintendo era, Ive owned nintendo, super nes, n64, playstation, gameboy, ds psp, dreamcast, playstation 2, xbox, gamecube, xbox 360, wii, and ps3. Right now i only own ps3, let me explain why and i own the 40 gb pack with an upgraded 320 gb drive perfect to put all seasons of always sunny, boondocks, the office, entourage, with enough room for all my games and everything, plus the capability to stream all my movies from my pc. I owned the 360 in 2005 and after 2 rrod I said no more!, I owned all those systems i mentioned not one failed and twice once during gears of war then second during mass effect, thats enough to switch me forever. This pack is amazing lets compare the ps3 to the 60gb xbox 360
Ps3
$400
blu-ray drive
80gb
cell 7cores
free psn forever
sixaxis play warhawk and see
with dualshock 3 support
new trophy support
built in wifi
updates each month future proof
the first blu-ray player on market to have 2.0 profile with java games in pip
exclusives this year til next march socom, siren,littlebigplanet, wipeout hd,
motorstorm 2, singstar, resistance 2, afrika, aquanauts holiday
siren, metal gear solid 4, gran turismo5, home, nba 09 early 2009 infamous, god of war 3, killzone 2, late 2009 mag, eight days, getaway 3, and eyepet


now 360
$300
60gb
xbox live ($50 a year est. 4 years til xbox 3 =$200)
3 cores
all games have achievements
to get wifi ( $100 )
exclusives fable 2, infinite undiscovery, gears 2, tales of vesperia,too human
early 2009 alan wake, halo wars

So for $500 dollars you would get 4 years of xbox live, a wifi adapter and 20 less gbs in storage, no hd upconversion of dvds, and no hd playback of blu-ray and with ironman blu-ray coming out im sure youll want that version. So thats 100 dollars more for a lot less. I will admit achievements in every game is good, xbox live usually has better support, and their netflix deal and avatar system looks good, but in place of reliability, no hd movies, paying for online, non replaceable harddrives, buying the 20 dollar battery pack, and how quickly ps3 has caught up and EA publicly mentioning how there games sell better on ps3 even with less of an install base, as they developed burnout first on ps3 and has exclusive dlc for mirrors edge. You quickly see Ps3 may not beat the wii it will definitely beat the 360.

Even at the reduced price point you get 1/3 the exclusive games and ill admit im more pumped for resistance 2, home, littlebigplanet, wipeout hd, mgs4 and siren were awesome and infamous, gow3, and killzone 2 are going to kill anything next year its like a triple threat. Sony has the largest amount of internal studios in the world and it shows even more than nintendo. And really the only thing i see in xboxs lineup is Gears 2 which will be great im sure, but in retrospect even compared to resistance2 i think it shows the power, gears 2 multiplayer is 10 people, Resistance 2 is 64 players yet PS3 is supposed to have the weaker online environment and that online is free.

And comparing the wii ill admit wii sports, zelda, re4, mario kart, metroid 3 and smash were all good, but that whole list is almost completely gamecube games redone almost literally. Then you go to the 3rd parties and you have very weak games, and their 2 exclusives this xmas wii music and animal crossing are not even real games a rhythm game and free ware game to me dont quite match an experience like gears or resistance. And that lineup compared to littlebigplanet, infamous, afrika, siren or gears 2,alan wake, all those in 1080i resolution just make the wii look like what it is an enhanced gamecube with the same old games.

Im not a biased im just speaking objectively the $200 xbox is a great deal especially thinking of playing gears 2 for only 200 makes me consider, but the reliability makes me question, when they finally say the problem is fixed, offer live for free like they just did on the pc, offer cheap harddrives and wifi, not 20gbs or wifi adapters for 100 each, built in batteries, then they have a deal i would get, at least theyre going to cache games onto hdd and avatar system soon in fall update. That 60gb drive isnt going to go far when cloverfield hd rental is over 5 gbs thats 11 movies and your done. Also xbox1 was supported 2001 to 2005y so xbox 360 prolly be supported 2005 to 2009 with that same timeline, in comparison ps1 was supported 1995 to 2004, ps2 2000 to 2009, ps3 2006 to 2015 with those same timelines.

Either way I see why many groups like each all ages like wii for instant accessiblity that girls and elders would enjoy like i would.

Xbox has the hardcore with halo 3, gears, command and conquers, fable, too human

Ps3 has hardcore and all ages as resistance 2, socom, gran turismo5 will bring hardcore, while littlebigplanet, afrika, singstar, and eyepet will bring all the other ages, and has motion sensors like wii, and the online play of xbox live yet free, so it truly is the best of both worlds Get more detail about PlayStation 3 80GB.
