The sony blu-ray set top dvd player is close to $1,000. i understand that they could probably charge alot less for it but just wanted everyone to buy the ps3 for less. There is a $200 difference in price between systems. but if you buy the hd-dvd for the xbox 360 then that makes it equal in price. but you would think that the blu-ray player might cost more then $200 since the disks hold more data. so theoretically sony could have cut costs somewhere in the ps3 to cover the cost of the blu-ray drive. so that would make the xbox 360 better.if you understood where i was going with that hooray for you!

Sorry OT, you're getting dugg down by anyone who has seen/played an Xbox 360 ever. You obviously haven't used or even own one because wireless controllers can't be plugged into the machine for connectivity purposes, only for power purposes, so I highly doubt your controllers "just died."You also said that Google did much more for you than the Xbox Live service, yet you don't have to pay for it.First off, you do pay for it, every site you visit that has an AdSense ad pays Google, hence you are paying Google (with your visual satisfaction, not cash). Second, Google provides no substance in its search engine alone (provided you have 'nifty' things such as Google Earth and awesome things like GMail), they provide not nearly the substance that Xbox Live's marketplace and online community do.But I can see where you'd want more than 30 days (IIRC, Xbox handed out 3-month subs like candy when they launched the Live service).

I work at a studio that is currently developing for PS2, PS3, Wii, PSP, and 360. Almost everyone has a 360, no one yet has a PS3 (I think), and only a few have a Wii. I think it boils down to the games. 360 has the best titles out right now (except for PS2, but we're talking next-gen here!). Does that tell you anything?

I hear ya. I wish game developers would focus on PC software which isn't locked down due to 5-6 year release cycles.
