Ya, but it's the 4gb one. I'll stick with my 250gb box. hahaICQ: 16544251 - Skype: gator37 @ eastlink.ca - email: yngwie @ isys.ca -
Even then - I wouldn't want it... except to use as a door stop.
The hardware is just garbage... and the only games they have are Halo, Gears of War and Forza. On the other hand, I've had a PS3 since launch...
Every year has seen good Exclusives.
Compare meta critic results for PS3 Vs Xbox and you'll soon agree.
MGS4
Gran Turismo 5
God of War 3
Uncharted 1/2
Little Big Planet
Kill Zone 2/3
... So many.
With that... I'll end with this:

Ya but if you do this......." Not to state the obvious, but this makes it far cheaper to buy the separate Arcade 4GB [amazon.com] and the 250GB hard drive [amazon.com] ($199 + $91.77 - $50 credit = $240.77) than buying the combo together [amazon.com] ($299.99). "
.......you end up with the same thing and save about $60.
It's a great deal for those on a tight budget

Xbox has shitty exclusives, and Halo is the fucking pits. You wouldn't know this if you only ever played an Xbox.

All true... assuming youre strictly a campaign player. Multiplayer games goes hands down to Xbox...Even then - I wouldn't want it... except to use as a door stop.

To the post about the xbox hardware being garbage.
The PS3 may be technically better, but it is harder to program for and a good number of PS3 ports have more technical glitches like framerate drops than the Xbox. All games are released with glitches these days, but because the PS3 is harder to work with, it ends up with more bugs that go unfixed before release. That's not just me saying that, but pretty much every comparison site not run by fanboys says the same.
Most multiplatform games run better on the xbox.jim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment

But it's still true. For example Marvel vs. Capcom. If you go to or watch any of the tournaments, guys complain all the time about the PS3 dropping frames. And that game came out a month ago.
I have an Xbox, PS3, and a gaming PC and the only thing I play on the PS3 is the exclusives. I'm no fanboy of any of them, but for the vast majority of games, the Xbox runs better as far as consoles.
PCs do look way better and have higher framerates, but they cost 10X as much as consoles so I put them in a different category. For the price of a gaming PC you can buy an Xbox, a 42 inch TV, and a surround system..loljim (at) amateursconvert . com Amateurs ConvertComment

lol - I guess you could these days.
My first HDTV cost me $2000 and that was the Sony Bravia at 720P 5 years ago.
With regards to online, I still prefer the PC over a console.
Steam is still going strong.
And yah - PS3 has the best Exclusives. There are just so many good surprises on the platform. Such Siren: Bloodcurse, Heavy Rain, Demon Souls etc.
To say that the Xbox runs multi-platforms better, is a bit of a stretch. These days, the multi-plats are on par. And their are some exceptions such as Burnout Paradise - being better on the PS3 than the Xbox.
It use to be the case, that a developer would make the Xbox a lead platform for development but that rule is no longer strictly the case. Developers now realise that developing on the PS3 as a lead platform, helps offer a similar gaming experience for everybody.
BTW - did you see Twisted Metal.
The artwork and direction is looking awesome
