thats if you buy everything seperate, and you don't have to pay for a full year of Live, you can just get a month when new games come out that youd like to test out. if you ask me, its just retards trying to make more money, and it gives people who have no time to do something constructive, argue on why their parents money bought the most expensive one, and try to defend it. seriously. all game systems are just game systems, thier not god, there will be more. :).

lol I was far from owned.
All he did was put up a general list.
And a flawed one.  You can buy the system in bundles with a hard drive as well, and you only threw the blue ray player in there to try and jack up the price, as its not a key component of the system, nor a reasonable item to purchase anyways.  Nice try.

And unless your a cheap bastard, 50$ for a year of Live is cheap.  Live is an excellent online service.  Dont buy a ps3 and complain about price anyways, lol

And for the record.  A hard drive is 99$, a wireless adapter is 49.99, those are prices at my walmart here.  I dont know why you search on random stores instead of common ones, except to try and skew your argument.

alright, so you buy the one with a hard drive. cheapest one would be  $300 + $50 for live. even if u dont get anything else, its only $50 cheapper, and i think its only a 30gb hard drive
also, futureshop is the canadian bestbuy, so i wasnt searching random websites

im on my ipod, so im not spelchecking

Well per country differences are a bit different.

only 30 gigs yeah, but its plenty of room.  You can hold tons of save games, and arcade downloads on 30 gigs.
The big drains are movies you forget to delete after renting them, and depending how much music you have on your hard drive.  But 30 gigs is plenty, so thats not a negative.

And I also saw amazon on that list.. Who shops at amazon for electronics, really, lol.

Neither console really outclasses the other though, as far as actual games go, its mostly about preference of game lineups.

Personally, I like the 360's exclusives better is all, and I'm fond of Live and being able to chat with people cross games.

Besides a few games, most the heavy hitters all have gone multiplatform anyways, with how expensive it is to develop games these days.
Competition is good for both consoles though.  Otherwise you end up with another "PS1"

*eye roll*

All shooters I've played to date with "class" or "Rank" systems, all it really  is, is how long you've played.

The only exception being HALO 3, where if you play like crap your rank can actually drop.

I hated nubs in COD4 who thought they were pimp cause they prestiged a few times.  Give a 5 year old the controller for a few days, he'll make it to lvl 55.  Shooters need to put more emphasis on skill level, rather then playing time.
