The PS3 was able to do the same thing, but without the crystals.]]>May 19th 2008 5:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 6:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/
Oh come on... fanning the flames. You really want to start one?

Fine. Aside from the fact that the PS3 was costing them $800 to make and they were selling each one for a $300 loss... PS3 is a better value than 360. And "value" aside, after you add up some of the extra crap you need, the 360 is more expensive. Just adding the cost to play your games online (which I still can't believe they charge for) makes the console price equal. I'd still be primarily a PC gamer were it not for the PS3. I just HATE non standardizations. I would hate having to buy a special HDD that only works in the 360, or forced to buy Microsoft headsets -- not being able to use the BT headset that came with my phone or the USB headset I got for my PC, or to not have my choice of controller (I mean I can buy a 3rd party controller similar to the 360's if I want or use the classic PS style, and I can get cheap 3rd party controllers, plus I prefer K&M for FPS's and I can use any old USB setup or BT), and so on.

I know I'm setting myself up for a bashing, but whatever, I don't consider myself a Sony fanboy per se, they just do a lot of things right by me (this time around--I wasn't much of a PS1 or PS2 fan) while MS does a lot of stuff wrong by me. I'd feel the same even if I only had a 360, actually probably more so because I'd be constantly lamenting over Microsoft's shenanigans. Fortunately for me, most of the games that I really want to play are exclusive to PS3, or on both consoles, or available on PC.]]>May 19th 2008 8:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 8:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 10:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/

Anyways, if someone knows where that dumbass pattern came from, please burn down that place.

The 360 gift by itself is a pretty strange gesture, but it's Gates, so I assume he needs more of user base in that part of the world.

All Gates really had to do was get StarCraft on the XBOX instead.]]>May 20th 2008 5:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 5:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/May 19th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/19/bill-gates-gives-mother-of-pearl-clad-xbox-360-to-south-korean-p/
