You Xbox Fanboys can't stop blabbing, can you? First of all, you say that XBox 360 has HD-DVD and that is great or better than the Blue-Ray and it's cheaper to manufacture and what not? And when you come to know that if you need such a drive, you need to shell out an additional $200, you say you dont' want a HD-DVD? How pathetic?
Choice my friend, HD DVD Drive is not imposed on us while a Blue Ray Drive is imposed on us in the form of PS3. We don't need HD DVD right now, when we need it, we can buy the cheepest HD DVD player out there which already works with our XBOX

.
I didn't even realize that you have to pay $200 extra for the HD-DVD until I researched and compiled the data, because when ever you hear XBOX360, one of the features that immediately come to the mind is the HD-DVD and that is what everybody says the XBox 360 has but ironically the fact that you have to cough up extra is well concealed by Microsoft!!
Right now HD DVD is not required so MS is not making an XBOX with HD DVD drive integrated. If you want you can buy it for $200 which is still cheaper then a standalone HD DVD or Blu Ray player for TV.
Just think about it and just look at the features of the XBox360, it's not any beter than a standard PS2!!!! The only difference is slightly better graphics!
The primary purpose of XBOX 360 is to play games, not a Video Player. If you want to play DVD you can play out of the box. If you want to play HD DVD you can play after buying the $200 drive. How many people do u think use HD DVD which can justify the integration of HD DVD Drive in XBOX 360? I guess you don't know how business is done in consumer space. Sony is just trying to push Blu Ray in the market with PS3. If it is so good then why are they not relaxing the licensing terms to make Blu Ray blank disks.
The chart makes one things clear, General features of XBox360 = Standard PS2!!
The chart makes one thing clear, it is your own single subjective view.
what is best, and for those idiots who still argue that the XBox360 still has a good price to features ratio, you are appallingly wrong!
Define "best" in Video Game industry. If you means best game play then Wiiiiiiiiii. If you mean best efficient GPU then XBOX 360's XENON GPU. If you say best CPU then Cell.
Microsoft like always has used the strategy of 'Addons'. They always make money that way. The sell the base product at a cheaper price with less features and pretends asthough it comes with addons, when you will have to pay extra to get additional addons which you eventually will!
Nah, I won't if I don't need it. In India, I don't even need the Elite or high end system. For my needs an XBOX 360 Base system or Core system is all I need with a 64 MB Memory card unit & 2 controllers. Now in case of PS3, I must buy the Blue Ray drive, I must buy the HDD, I must buy the Wifi module. With XBOX 360, MS gives a base system for far lower price then PS3, & to this system you can add whatever u want. Hack even the elite costs less then PS3
Why do you think Sony would be foolish enough to put a DVD Drive on the next gen console when it already reached limits with its existing DVD Drive on the PS2? And even if the PS3 came with a DVD Drive, it would have been a lot cheaper.
Then Sony needs better compiler, texture engine & compression algorithm.

Yup, we know. The main reason for PS3's high cost is the Blu Ray drive.
Microsoft will need to bring the XBOX360x2 = XBOX720 to beat the PS3!! If you think I'm bluffing, go back and look and you will see the same lines there!!
Nope, if u are looking to buy a cheap console go with Wii. It will take 5+ years to completely tap the power of PS3, well....I doubt if a PS3 hardware I buy today will last for 5 years without a fault in Drive lens or something like that.
XBOX360 is made for today, it really won't be able to handle/perform well with the upcoming next gen video games and everyone knows that! As of now, all you see is games equally or slightly better than the PS2 Games. First of all, you'll need to get an HD-DVD for the upcoming games.
Holy *****

. wait, do u think Higher size to save games in a disk means better. Lolz....what a joke. i can make Quake 4 for XBOX 360 in 6 GB only if I tailor made the code , texture, & sound files for it. R U on crack...or do u have no idea how games are made
Developers have not even used the full power of XBOX 360's CPU & GPU. Go & compare the PS2's 1st year games & 5th year games & you will how well the quality of graphics improved on the same hardware. Both XBOX 360 & PS3 are next gen, they both will show next gen graphics once game developers start using the full power. It takes time. Don't say "PS3 will do", say what PS3 can do today.
So, those of you getting a XBox360, be ready to spend more if you need to keep using the console for a long time coming.
Only if you require to spend more. If u don't need HD DVD drive or Blu Ray drive then you are saving $200 which u r paying with PS3 whether u like it or not.
the PS3 has a 1000BaseT Ethernet card which is 10xTimes faster than the one on the XBOX360
I missed this part, source plz.
And how many of you realize that you will need to take the batteries off from the XBox360 Controller to recharge it, which means you can't play while you recharge!! How stupid and old!! On the PS3, like I mentioned, you can charge as you play with the USB cable.
XBOX 360 has a connector cable which connects the Wireless controller to XBOX 360 through a wire by which u can charge & play at the same time. This comes bundled with the controller.
And the memory slot, you can't use any other memory format on the XBox!
Nope, we can use XBOX 360's memory card to save games. Wait, u think gamers can save PS3 saved games in SD MMC Card
While in the Sony PS3, you can put any memory card, which means you can add your phone images, videos, camera stuff and what not?
A plus point in PS3 which not everyone needs. With XBOX we again have the choice of external memory card readers which cost $20
The PS3 is the future of entertainment,
Then u buy it, we will but it when we need it.
The PS3 doesn't need an upgrade in terms of existing hardware(except for if you want additional Hardisk Space) for atleast another 3~4 years, but I seriously don't see the XBox360 surviving for another year with the existing hardware package!!
Lolz....dude, what do u need in a gaming console to play games

. everything is already there in XBOX 360 for you to enjoy games & DVD movies. If you want HD DVD then welll you can buy the HD DVD drive later, no one is forcing u.
FYI: Sony promises to bring out an additional 120Game titles before the end of this Financial year, so dont' complain about not having enough games.
A sane buyer will wait for the games to release first. MS also promises to release 1200 games before the end of year.
Dude, it's not me, It's you who need to do a bit of googling, I am not going to waste my time trying to prove to you if there is a difference in 1080i and p. It's all online for you to google it. And, I wouldn't even bother answering your question to whether I've actually seen the difference or played games on them. Why in the world do you think I would say all this when I've not been there, done that?
Then I would say you have lack of knowledge or info
And yes, one thing that lot of you are overlooking is the fact that PS3 has 2 HDMI ports available which means you can have 2 Display's at the same time more like a dual monitor PC for the ultimate gaming experience.
OMG...PCs have Dual displays from ages, how many gamers are using it?
And as far as the TV's are concerned, maybe you need to go out in the market and take a look at the LCD's available and then you will find out that there are models that are only support upto 1080i and models which support upto 1080p. Trying to tell me that there isn't a model which supports only upto 1080i!! LOL!!

Get out from your couch and go into the TV specs world!!
Sure, i saw a sony Bravia, now pay me the money plz.
I thought there were only 4 kind of fanboys
AMD vs intel
AMD vs Nvidia
Windows Vs Mac Vs Linux
Kabab Parathe vs burger vs Pizza
I had no idea, there is a ignorant Sony Fanboy (I am also a Sony Ericsson fanboy) in this forum who has no idea how to do business using modular approach in business. G
ive the consumer a base system for cheap, then he can add whatever he wants. In both cases he is not bound to pay high price for something.
about Shitty graphics on Xbox 360.
Go Play Gears of War which is using Unreal Engine 3.0 for Console, which is also the default game engine supplied with PS3 development kits. So in a sense u r saying that PS3 also has shitty graphics
