I agree with Sony about the 360 price thing, and I was just talking about that with a friend. But they really need to stop coming out and saying "Oh, we're better than everyone else." Microsoft does that too, but I think Sony does it much more often. I love my PS3, but let's be professional here.

As for their comments about the Wii... Let's see if the people at Nintendo agree while they're sleeping on their beds made of cash.

To the people saying that 360 has better games: that argument was true 2 years ago. My friend was making that argument and I pointed out that every single 360 game he had was on the ps3. The only exclusives I have are Dead Rising, Lost Odyssey and Earth Defense Force. And dead rising soon won't be an exclusive.

woosah everyone

@ Shirley Temple:

and CastleCrashers... Left4Dead... Halo 3... try those as well

@Shirley

You are correct about many games sharing consoles, but the lion's share of those games are superior on the 360 builds. Only a couple have faired better on the PS3 and the difference in graphic fidelity is not even as great as comparisons between the XBOX and PS2.

I am very familiar with the argument that were multi-plat games developed with the PS3 as the lead format the PS3 versions would have an advantage (slight advantage but an advantage nonetheless). But this argument does not reflect reality due to too few PS3 Multi-plat games being purchased by PS3 owners. If PS3 users bought more games maybe the trend would change. But, the last time I checked console attach rates (console owners actually buying games); the 360 purchases dwarfed those of the PS3 with mutiplat titles doing significantly better on the 360. I won't debate whether this trend is fair or right...it simply is what it is.

Now, as a “gamer first” (not a hipster who is more into techy gadgets than he or she is into actual games) what is the more logical choice for me? Do I go with the jack of all trades that was developed with the concept of cross-marketing other products (this was Sony's announced business plan "media hub/bluray" when they prepared to launch the PS3) to me as the priority? Mind you a "jack" that due to its business plan has put itself in the position where many of the titles it shares with a competing system are inferior, more costly to develop, and in large part unsupported by its own install base. Or do I choose the system that most demonstrates that games come first? M$ crafted a system aimed at making the process of development/programming simple and carried that same thought over to game players with an easy to use online service. The choice was/is simple. Spin will not save Sony, attention to games and gamers will.

Without launching into Jim Sterling's supposed vendettas, I'd like to repeat the question: what's the source on this article?

I keep coming to Destructoid for Jim's PS3 reports and the resulting comedy show in the comments. Keep up the good work Jim.

OMG WIFI!

does everybody have wi-fi? i'm one of the 3 houses on my neighbourhood with it. password protected :p

does everybody have blu-ray? again, out of my many friends and aquaintances, i'm the only one with 1080p to even notice the blu-ray difference.

is the ps3 HD ready out of the box [this is really perplexing since the ps3 touts itself as a player of blu-ray movies which require HD accesories]? no and there are certainly many sad saps who've purchased the overpriced cables.

is there a bluetooth headset? no. can it use any bluetooth headset? yes. and any wired cell phone headset work with the 360? yes.

it appears here sony either has the same old problem of telling the consumer what they want rather than listening to the consumer; they're assuming we all have the same wants. the 360 on the other hand is like a barebone system where the consumer CHOOSEs what to add on. and no, the HDD is not necessary but extremely useful. if say someone just wants to play rockband for the office/bar/waiting room, then the consumer is just going to get the arcade system.

that being said, sony is being very decietful in choosing the arcade model to compare since if they compared it with the pro-model, they'd be caught with their pants down

you can get HDMI cables for 5$ so that's hardly a cost consideration and games meant to be played in HD look bad on the 360 as well if you are playing them in standard definition
