Pachter: PS3 will beat 360 with $299 price drop

But this time you'd get your money's worth. ;)

Got my money's worth the first time buddy. Had plenty of games and good times on Live. Don't want to pay the same price for the same gaming experience on a different shell.

I'm sure most of them were arcades. I did a lot of shopping at Best Buy over Christmas and I can't tell you how many people I saw with the arcade models under their arms.

Such a cynical little troll.

And he was right; they did, until the price cut.

good for you...

Just another butt-hurt bot whos scared that if ANYONE thinks a system other than his is good, he won't be able to play it anymore. Sad little fanboys.

little hypocrite aren't you

As a Matter of Fact, I do own both. I bought a 360 first, and it was cool and all, but nothing in it really seemed "NEXT GEN" to me. Sure it has better graphics over original XBOX, but it's as next gen as me upgrading a Video Card on my Computer.

As far as exclusive games, I only bought it for Halo 3, I can care less about the rest, and most of the games that were exclusive on 360 are now coming to PS3. I stopped supporting Xbox since november since I haven't found anything on it I'd like to play.

With PS3, they're barely tapping it's potential, and it has so much to offer. The games look bad ass, and the Sound is top notch. I use it more than my computer, and I actually get alot of Next Gen out of PS3. Full 1080P games with crisp 5.1 sound, a solid online, and a great lineup of Games.

Sony knows next gen., and I don't feel ripped off like I did from Micro$oft.

ok, so now you're changing your mind? first you said PS3 is your least favorite now you're saying you like it better

wow, go grow up. Unlike you, some of us can actually afford all three consoles. I got my arcade 5 months ago with a used 120 gig hdd from gamestop.

Do you think that no one out there exist with more than just the PS3 or JUST the 360?

Get a life.

''wow, go grow up. Unlike you, some of us can actually afford all three consoles. I got my arcade 5 months ago with a used 120 gig hdd from gamestop.''

You go Orion... Wooo your such a big grown up. Actually being able to able ''All three consoles''

... What a jack arse!

not to mention heavenly sword sold barely any, resistance did pretty well, warhawk did good due to being in PS store, GT 5 didn't do that great, folklore was a terrific game and it didn't sell hardly any, valkyira chronicles was absolutely terrific and it didn't sell any, motorstorm did good, and ratchet and clank did just decent, you're right people do need to start supporting your system more, i have spent a lot of money on games though

I have a PS3 and have access to a 360, though it is not connected to the interweb (we do not have live) because we do not want a phoneline goin up the stairs. Therefore, I won't compare what system I like more in regards to online nor games because I mostly play the ps3 just because this is the system I purchased and it is located in my room while my brother, who purchased the 360 from a friend, has it in his room.


My PSN=Bloodsaber
My sibling's Gamertag=Action37 (never bothered to make my own tag since my brothers and I share the same psn/gamertags.)


As for support of the ps3, I tend to buy my games on that system rather than the 360 just because of above reasons. However, if there is a mutliplatform game that has more content on say, the Xbox360, I would buy it for that system.

Anyways, out of the games you mentioned, diezel, I only bought LBP and MGs4. However. I have passed on the other two since I never tried any of the Socom games and I wasn't too impressed by the Uncharted demo.

@doom saber

First off, I am in no way a true gamer. I only game about 3-4 hours a week max.

With that said, Uncharted (the only title I have actually purchased and not borrowed from friends) is a must-have title that you need to try. The game has top production values (the graphics, sound, gameplay show it). I have also heard great things about Socom from many people I know down the grapevine but it depends on who you are as a gamer and what you want....

I'm not lying, the PS3 looks sharper on my 1080P Samsung LCD than my 360. Of course that has nothing to do with it, but the games are great and the graphics are only getting more and more impressive on the PS3. The 360 looks like it hit a plateau already.

Sorry, I actually prefer the PS3 and have gotten more BANG for my buck, and for the Record, SOCOM has got to be one of the best shooters. It may not be selling that much, but I give it time, and it will do well. Hopefully SONY has learned from it's mistakes and won't let an Awesome piece of tech go unappreciated again.

I do not even get what exclusives the 360 still has... Most getting ported to the PS3, and the rest will be on computer here soon enough.

PSN is just as good as Xbox LIVE, though no cross game voice chat/invites.

Blu-Ray kicks the crap out of DVD. Digital distribution still is far off, yet coming.

PS3 can support the new 3D stuff that is coming (got the kit for my PC! Worth the $600). Via a firmware update.

meh.. could list more, but its bed time.

I agree with you in general. Come on though, relax, xbox 360 fanboys aren't going to listen to reason, logic, or awesomeness, just one-liners that make them feel better.

by the way, MGS4 used the whole disk I'm pretty sure. Hence why it was so long and had so many extra features. they also poked fun at the previous disks in the game (oh, no disk swap? really? oh, we have blu ray, what an age we live in). Fun times. It'll get better too is the coolest part.

@Tyler: You make a good point that I reiterate. Since the PS3 has true exclusives and the 360's exclusives aren't very exclusive (ported to PC), the real winners in gaming are people that own a PS3 and a decent gaming PC.

In short, no reason to own a 360 if their exclusives land on PC. Not to mention you don't pay some goofy Live tax to play it online with your PC.

It's an option. Not everyone wants or needs backwards compatibility and it was costing Sony too much to include it. Don't forget that at launch, even at the $600 price point Sony was losing a ton of money on each unit sold.

See, here's the thing. Sony builds consoles for the future. They cost alot today but you're not looking to replace them 4 years down the line because the software catches up. God of War 2 was made 7 years after the PS2 launched and still looks great to this day (turn on progressive mode).

With all of the firmware updates the PS3 has gotten since launch things have only gotten better. Once cross-game chat and some other features are added, Live won't have a single benefit by comparison.

That's because the backwards compatibility is WORTH IT.

I'm hoping that Sony eventually wakes up from their stupor and starts actually trying to get PS2 owners on board with the PS3 again. Backwards compatibility helps lock people into the Sony platform when they upgrade. Without it, why not buy a 360?

(Apart from the Ford Pinto quality of the 360)
