Here are a couple of interesting articles about ps3 vs. xbox 360 comparison.

[John Vattic]

Know what's cool? I bought a Wii where I work because we just happened to get 12 in "out-of-the-blue", and I didn't have to buy a ds lite or bundle crap.

Also Gamestops and EB's are charging 500+usd for a Wii bundle which includes another nanchuk and 2 games. I think making people buy bundles to drive up sales prices still should be considered gouging. Lessons in the inherent evil of money should be taught in schools so that modern children don't grow up to be scumbags like the baby boomers and flower children became.

Anyway I was going to buy a ps3 because there were no Wii's. But I held out and got a Wii for 230$ after my discount. And you know what, I am sorry for blasting Wiimo fanboys because the Wii is quite excellent.

Sony can't possibly dig a deeper grave for it's gaming franchise. In the long run ps3 will rule. But this year is all about Nintendo.

Plus the ps3 is a beast. It catches fire, frys eggs, even load times are enough to tenderize a new york strip, can anyone say Sony's Foreman grill will win the console wars?

Sony=Halliburton of video game industry, only "we the people" get a say in who gets the contracts.

Love for money kills art and humanity.

Ive always wondered: If no target or gamestop, WHat are the main game stores in the UK?

And for the record,I sadly agree with both of those articles.

No matter what happens, people still manage to blame Sony. Did it ever occur to you people that this is HMV's pricing?

It's the 4Gib MemeryStick™ Value Pack (PSP™, Battery, AC Charger, Cover, Dustrag, Demo Disc and of course the 4Gib MemoryStick™)´,.

No matter what happens, people still manage to blame Sony. Did it ever occur to you people that this is HMV's pricing?

Funny I seem to recall some Speach about Ridge Racer and 'Giant Enemy Crabs' and a MSRP of $599,99(USD), for the PS3™.

So assuming that HMV could sell it cheaper ~I suppose they could~ but, why in Hell should they?
Since they're not getting it much ceaper @ Wholesale either...

PS3 doesn't interest me one bit. I'm happy with my current PSP and my hackzored 360 thank you.

FORGET SONY!!! They have taken the p**s out of everyone with this whole ps3 thing. I just bought an Xbox 360 and it's just as good as the ps3 and its cheaper with more games. i urge everyone to forget the ps3 and grab a 360
