T R U Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 If the PS3 really does drop $100 I am getting one I was gonna go with the 360 just because it was cheaper, but for $100 less I can shell out the $500 to get it.. Plus the whole 33% failure rate and everyone I know with a 360 having problems with it thats not really something I want to deal with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenksismyhero Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I think you can watch most of the E3 stuff at gamespot. You might have to be a member, but from a quick glance it looked like they were going to stream the video. Also, for anyone considering a PS3, i've had one since launch and I still think it was worth it. The game selection has been pretty weak, but in the next 6 months it's all going to even out. I have to say though, I just tried Gears of War for the first time the other day...that looks like a pretty sick game. I love the camera angle when you run for cover. I thought about buying a 360, but with all the problems I dunno if it's worth it. And for anyone with a Wii (something I'm also looking to buy but can't find anywhere), Resident Evil 4 is probably a must get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna be the nerd who stands up for the 360. I've had no problems whatsoever with mines ever since i've gotten it. Sure 33% is alot...but they are extending the warranties for all 360's is what i've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Parkman Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 (edited) QUOTE(BearSox @ Jul 6, 2007 -> 01:39 AM) The price drop is about to happen sooner rather then later. In fact, try in 11 days... http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3160820 The price is going down 100 dollars on the 17th, same day NCAA Football 08 comes out. Believe me, it is worth it. The games aren't that good yet, but the graphics are terrific (better then the 360 in fabulous 1080p picture) and the system itself is very powerful and very convinent. Plus, since BluRay DVD's beat out HDDVD's, the PS3 will act as a bluray player at a fraction of the price of what a regular bluray player would cost. Welcome to the dark side young jedi Also, just curious, how much are you gonna sell the 360 for? I need one for when Halo comes out... How much are you willing to pay? I've got the $400 system, MLB 2K6, Call of Duty 2, and NHL 07, along with another wireless controller. I had Madden 07 and MLB 2K7, but those two got eaten. I could give you MLB 2K7 anyway but I doubt it works anymore because it has a huge circular scratch on it. I've already got an offer for $350. I've heard that that is the going rate. If you are willing to pay more PM me and tell me about it and we'll work something out. I'd trade you straight up for a 10 inch Dobsonian telescope, but I doubt you're intrested in astronomy, so you probably don't have one.

I would say MVP 2007 NCAA is better but since it is college, 2005 gets the nod... also, I think MVP 2005 is not only THE best baseball game ever made, but in top 10 of all games ever made. I don't think I ever spent more time playing a different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can check in to see if they do, if you'd like. Not sure where you live, but the Gamestop is by the Cell. Edited July 6, 2007 by BobDylan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Microsoft was just cheap on the heatsinks which they are rumored to be replacing in refurbished consoles. Of course you void your warranty if you open it up to check. I still want to see a breakdown of the failures of launch units vs. the subsequent shipments. Mine was manufactured in May '06 and I've logged at least 200 hours on it with no problems. If you buy one, be aware that it's a hot and noisy console and needs alot of open space to be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
