    Microsoft: Xbox 360 Price Drop Timing Coincidental

    Welcome to the day after Microsoft lowered the price on its $300 Xbox 360 Elite, wrinkling its brow and lowering its horns to meet Sony's slimmer, $100 cheaper PlayStation 3 in battle. While the incidentals differ between the two, we've officially entered the melee phase of the campaign. The riders are off their horses, lances in the mud, swords drawn, endorsement-and-feature-laden tabards flapping. Welcome to the first day of the headiest holiday game sales season in years.

                  That is because you are smart. 360 is much better than PS3

                      PS3 just doesn't have the games or a decent online service. Next price drop I may pick one up but it's still too expensive compared to what you get with a 360.

                                          That just shows ignorance. Man I love the fanbois from both sides spouting off crap about the other system they ave ZERO clue about.

                                          PS3 too expensive?

                                          Um

                                          PS3 120 GB $299
                                          XBOX 360 Elite 120 GB $299.

                                          math is not your friend.

                                              Wow last time I checked both systems have pretty much the same games. Not sure where you get your info.

                                                  The ONLY reason people say XBox 360 is better is the current game selection. With every passing day, PS3 is catching up on that and will surpass XBox in quality exclusive titles before long.

                                                  Every other aspect of the systems, IMO, PS3 wins - hands down.

                                                  Hardware - PS3 by a mile. Most developers haven't figured out how to take advantage of it yet, but they will.

                                                  Online - PS3 online experience just works better in my opinion, I live in Costa Rica and have never had any lag even with my shitty connection; XBox Live from here has tons of lag.

                                                  Controller - I guess a matter of personal preference, but I think PS3's controller is a lot better than XBox's. I suppose you could buy the same style controller on XBox though made by third parties.

                                                  Blu-Ray - I personally have yet to watch a Blu-Ray, but hey if it's there, that's an added value in my opinion.

                                                  Curious, but besides games (which in a few more months should be about even in selection) in what ways do you XBox fans think its better than PS3?

                                                      Already have an Elite. I will be picking up a PS3 for bluray, though.

                                                          the wii all the way. the new resort game is awesome. getting off your ass and interacting with games is way better.

                                                          if you want better graphics and hardcore gaming. sorry, the computer pwns all systems. so there is no argument for the ps3 or xbox. ps3 & xbox = shitty computer system. wii = interactive one of a kind system.

                                                              I have both, but my xbox and various friends xbox's have gotten the red rings. Kind of a hassle to bring it back or call Microsoft. I enjoy my PS3 way better and the fact that ive yet to have a single problem with it for over a year is a plus in my book. In the end Each has its pros and cons and what it really comes down to is what appeals to you personally. for me ill take the PS3, but im not hating on the xbox, great console when its not dead.

                                                                          Controller - I guess a matter of personal preference, but I think PS3's controller is a lot better than XBox's. I suppose you could buy the same style controller on XBox though made by third parties.

                                                                                      If you reread my post, I said it's too expensive compared to what you get with a 360. That means everything, not just the HDD size. The live service, the huge game library, etc. All those things add up to the 360 being a much better value. Most serious gamers play online and there is no debate on whether or not the 360 live service is better. Not to mention the huge library of 360 games you can get used for $20 or less.

                                                                                      I'm not a fanboy and I'll pick up a PS3 at some point, but right now the 360 is just better when you consider everything.

                                                                                                                          I have nothing against the PS3 and I think it's a great console. But even my friends who have a PS3 and a 360 prefer to play the 360 on-line and use the Microsoft live service. It's just more fleshed out and has more features at this point.

                                                                                                                          Like I said, I'm not a 360 fanboy and I think the PS3 is a great console. But right now the 360 has a lot of advantages, mostly because it came out sooner. In about year, the PS3 will have a lot more new games and that's probably when I'll buy one.

                                                                                                                          Whichever one you have, make sure to check out the new demo for a game called "Wet". Pretty cool.

                                                                                                                                          I love my 360 but may get a PS3 since it has a built in blueray and I don't have that yet.

At the moment, it looks awesome for the PS3 and there is no word that it will be ported to XBox. How does that fit in with your claim?

But even my friends who have a PS3 and a 360 prefer to play the 360 on-line and use the Microsoft live service. It's just more fleshed out and has more features at this point.
                                                                                                                                                          I'm just curious though, I haven't played on XBox Live much at all, so wondering what those features are ?

I had been pining for a new Wii Sports and finally Resort has come and kicks about 100 times as much ass. Table tennis and frolf are fucking awesome, and the more realistic golf's nice too as well as the more realistic bowling (I'm a 208 avg bowler and the new one picks up my hook a lot more accurately than the old one did). I haven't even gotten into most of the other sports on it because of how awesome table tennis and frolf are.

                                                                                                                                                                  My friend has both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, and in fact had both XBox and PS2 also...in fact the only Nintendo system he's had since SNES is Gamecube and he didn't end up getting many games for it (nor did I actually - was craptastic by Nintendo's standards IMO except for the Metroid Prime series and a handful of other games). The graphics on those systems are certainly awesome, and I actually do enjoy watching him play an RPG because the games can be so beautiful, but I don't really have an urge to play any of them. I wouldn't be surprised if there was no truly unique gaming experience on XBox 360 or PS3 that is any better or more fun to play than on previous regular video game systems, computer games or the Wii (Wii is weak on online play but computer games have had online play for eons and does it better IMO than XBox or PS3 could ever hope for ).

That just blows my mind...if it was a rare game, I'd understand as rare games do go for a lot, but that game was EVERYWHERE when it came out.
