Stupid MS...just throw a 60GB in there and call it a day....

Anyways I'm LOVING this new design. Was afraid it would look like a horrible alienware monstrosity but I'm pleasantly surprised.

And built in WiFi? WIN

Yeah right man...the ps3 has no compelling games.

The only thing its got going for it is Bluray and its not like its the best nor the only bluray player on the market.

I'd rather have LIVE than shitty psn. I'd rather have Halo, Gears of War, Lost Odyssesy, and Final Fantasy rather than the shitty exclusives the ps3 has.]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/Well, as for now. What if Sony announce tomorrow that they'll match the hard-drive (250GB, user upgradeable with regular drives) & match the wifi n, for the same $299 price? Note that PS3 slim already has blu-ray, blue-tooth, and gigabit ethernet. The new 360 doesn't seem to be that hot anymore now does it, other than the new shiny feeling.]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/
Uhh no the 360 would still win hands down.

Its got ESPN.
Its got Facebook
Its got Last FM
Its got Mass Effect

Its got a lot more and way better games than the ps3 will ever have. And it continues to get more games that used to be exclusive to sony.

At the end of the day the only reason I'd get a ps3 is

1) Final Fantasy XIII Versus

And with rumors of that coming to the 360 as well I'm willing to wait and see what happens. Meanwhile I'll continue to enjoy the best system out there right now.

Love my Wii as well although I dont play it as much these days...]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/
Does your comment scream fanboy or what? Like seriously I can access all of those sites from the built in browser. No need to be restricted to how ms does it. Plus how is the PSN shitty? I've never had a problem with it and its free. Both consoles have their fareshare of exclusives. Its all personal pref tbh. I'm not a big halo fan but love killzone. Btw it took microsoft how many years to integrate wifi? Yea that's right five years. Enjoy your locked down console.]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/Are you seriously going to use your 360 for ESPN, Last.fm, and Facebook? Think about that for a second. The PS3 has a straight internet web browser. Not only it can do twitter, last.fm, facebook, google, email, etc, I can use it to post comment on Engadget. Can you do that on the 360?

If you want to brag about the 360, brag about Live, integration with Messenger, and the fact that each update doesn't carry the risk of bricking/taking away functionality of your console (something that Sony has issues with). :rolleyes:]]>Jun 14th 2010 11:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/Jun 15th 2010 12:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/
In terms of games you have a wide variety of games from Uncharted series, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, MGS4, God of War, LBP, and many others. In the end both the 360 and PS3 are great systems and majority of the releases are cross platform. ]]>Jun 15th 2010 12:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/Uh ok dude ps3 may have less games but their games are far from what 360 has to offer. And there are a lot of games that’s only exclusive on playstation consoles and ps3 has home. Free internet. Bluetooth. Easy to replace hard drive. Blue ray. 7.1 surround sound. And I bet espn will stream uber choppy on that console and did u see it got a trillion vents! Wtf is that]]>Jun 15th 2010 1:40AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/14/xbox-360-arcade-to-eventually-be-replaced-by-199-new-xbox-360/

Then just download all the DLC and extras you got from the Xbox LIVE website, you can set up a que and everything of all the files you've downloaded. Hell, once a year you can even transfer all of your licenses over to the new machine, just look up the FAQ on the LIVE website, it's all there.
