I've had times where I could have bought the nice big fancy ps3 systems for a few bucks off and make any average joe jealous, but I waited 1 year, yes 1 year without using the meijers credit card so I could get 10 percent off something big, so I waited until the bgigest dang ps3 sale happened.
Last night 12:01am which was really today tuesday.....anyways I sat in line from 10:30pm monday until 12:01 tuesday, about 1 and a half hours, to get 50 dollars off a 40gig ps3, they had 2 systems, and I was first in line, I waited and eyed everyone coming into the electronics deparment. Finally 12:01am came and I got my ps3, I got a secodn controller, and I got call of duty 4, but wait Frost, this all cost like 510 dollars plus tax, heck no it dont, frost used his 10% off meijers credit card discount, his family 10% off discount, and his 50$ off coupon and frost paid 393$ after tax for a SYSTEM, GAME, CONTROLLER, all for less than the cost of a system
Just thought I'd share what my year's patience went for.
So tonight....OMG PS3 FTW GONNA POST ON IT ROFLSLMAOPS3FTW.

XBOX > PS3
For the value anyways.
I just cannot believe they purposely marketed a console for such a high price in the middle of a three way marketshare battle.
I doubt Sony will ever recover and reclaim the crown.
The whole thing really is a coup for Mr. Gates.

Sorry guys. Here's how it is. Wii sucks. Period. There have been a few good games I've played which are Zelda and Metroid Prime. All the other games are for little kids. PS3 has the most amazing graphics I've ever seen in my entire life. Period. Xbox 360 also has amazing graphics, yet not as amazing as the PS3. Also, it is a whole lot cheaper and has better games. Therefore, The Xbox 360 is the greates of them all.

I came away impressed with the Wii. Nintendo looks to be very successful in broadening its audience, as it is already doing with the Nintendo DS.
Nintendo made the right decision to leave the 'gaming' to Microsoft and Sony, because there are other markets to pursue.

You seriously dont know math do you, it should be
Wii greater than or equal to xbox greater than or equal to ps3
But my arranment would be different, I'd say wii+ps3 are better than the 360, 360 is good for high def gaming at 350$ but I think the 360 now having a elite model for 415 and the ps3 having a 40gig for 400, it is competitive, there was a line where I was at, and I was first, all the ps3's no matter what model sold out.

Timeshift
Call of duty 3
Call of duty 4
nfs carbon
nfs pro street
These are some major games that are out, or comming out that are for both ps3 and xbox, theres more, but I'm not a fan of those games, bot hsystems are around 400, bothj systems have similar games now with recent releases, ps3 gets free online play, xbox....doesnt.

Unless the sentence is Sony makes the worst consoles for gaming.

And the word "Fanboy" came to mind here, too.

But I own a 360. And there are no such things as Microsoft Fanboys, only Microsoft supporters.
HOWEVER I also own a Wii, and however there are Nintendo Fanboys I can't be both because if I was a Nintendo Fanboy, I wouldn't own a 360.

Ok... but that isn't what I said.
I said the value of awesome the Wii has is equal the value of awesome of the 360. Since they are equal in number, that number is greater than the value of Awesome of the PS3.
It is TWO equations in one. One is an inequality.
Lets say that the value of awesome for the 360 is, for the sake of argument, a 5. Wii = Xbox360 would mean Wii = 5, or 5 = 5, correct?
Well now that 5 is greater (>) than the PS3, which we will say is a 2.5, for the sake of argument.
So 5 = 5 > 2.5
Or 5 = 5, 5 > 2.5
Get it?

Okay, But were is your proof that Sony is the worst for making gaming consoles?
Presence is a curious thing, if you think you need to prove it... you probably never had it in the first place.
