Ah..and so we come to the crux of the matter between 360 and PS3. Although both are fundamentally gaming machines, the 360 caters to gamers and the PS3 appeals to the movie buffs. So comparing the two is like comparing apples to oranges.

Disc drive space isn't plentiful for all of us. With my PS3 I use my pc as a media server because storing high def movies, 50GB of music, and 20GB of photos isn't the best to way to use it up when games are starting to require heavy installations (GTA4, MGS4, etc).]]>Aug 1st 2008 6:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/Aug 1st 2008 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/

and seriously, sony does not need to lower the price right now, after blu-ray is taking hold in the home theater market. at $399, for those who want Hi Def movies, PS3 is best and cheapest bluray player. (and trust me, a lot of people want hi def now.)]]>Aug 1st 2008 6:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/
If September has the 360 60gb for $299 WITH a game or two bundle then I guess I'll bite and finally get a gaming console. Otherwise, PS3 might win me over since it has BluRay (which I don't care too much about now) and included wifi/wireless adapter and online (which is minor but nice).]]>Aug 1st 2008 5:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/
Hmmm.....that makes it 20 bucks cheaper than a PS3 if you add add all that in. 'Course, the Arcade doesn't have HD or BD player either.

Enjoy your 'price cut' suckers!]]>Aug 1st 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/By the way i have a ps3 and i fucking sucks. it sucks as a music/movies streamer it sucks in the lack of games it has. it sucks that it has no IR receiver. it sucks that i have to INSTALL games. with out the option NOT TO. it sucks that it uses way more power then my 360 and it sucks because of how expensive it was.
i am selling this piece of shit for whatever i can get for it. fuck the blue ray player in it too.. worthless if i can't even use my harmony remote for it. i will stick to the BD player in my HTPC.

BTW my 360 has red ringed and i fixed it my self and modded it so i could play burnt games.. oh and the 360 controller is way fucking better then that POS sony thingy.

the ps3 may have couple things going for it, but actual usability isn't one of them.

Some people, like myself, don't want to use spotty wifi to connect their gaming console to the internet, and wires to their xbox. It's faster and more reliable.

$30 for rechargable batteries? You can get those charge and play kits for $15, which doubles as a usb adapter to use your 360 controller with your pc.

Blu-Ray is nice, and it would be nice to have a 360 sku with it, but it's not that important of a feature on a console that's focus is gaming.]]>Aug 1st 2008 5:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/
Live! Gold is MSRP $50 but is sold for $40 all over the place. $40 for 13 months = $3.08/month.

Any wireless bridge works with the 360, these can be purchased for less than $30.

Regular AA rechargeable batteries work with the 360 controllers. You can get 4 2300mAH with charger for $20. Good for two controllers.

They either have to make more consoles to satisfy the masses or lower the price of a product that has been in such a high demand. Both choices shoots themselves in the foot. Over saturation for the first and profit loss for the second.

Your comment makes no sense. How would making more consoles keep them from having to lower prices? Supply and demand theory tells us that if anything making more consoles would force them to lower the price.

At any rate the Wii was the only console to be sold for a profit at launch, and it's the only one that hasn't had a price cut yet. Nintendo's in first place in the console wars and they'll still have a great profit margin even with a price cut. How that adds up to being "between a rock and a hard place" is mind boggling.]]>Aug 1st 2008 10:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/
I really want to see this go through since this will be cheaper than wii and actually an ideal price to buy (the arcade version.)

Just think of it also as a less expensive media extender that can play games.]]>Aug 1st 2008 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/Aug 1st 2008 6:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/
Thats right. A Media Center Extender with no WiFi and no hard drive. Your PC serves Windows Media Center and all the media you have linked to it to your 360.

And 802.11G is not very reliable for transmitting really high def movies to all your appliances. If this chap was smart enough to get some ethernet wired to his house, then no need for WiFi. And if not, a wireless N bridge should cost about the same (if not less) than the 360 WiFi adapter, and give you a much more reliable and faster link.]]>Aug 1st 2008 8:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/01/mole-sez-xbox-360-price-cuts-coming-in-september-arcade-for-19/Aug 1st 2008 5:49PM
