- EvilCan, on 02/26/2008, -2/+10So you've ruled out the 360 because of price, and then you say you are on the fence about buying a PS3...something doesn't add up here...
- dunlop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6It all depends on your personal preferences. For me, the Wii is currently a paperweight whereras I use my 360 daily either for games (ShadowRun FTW, various kiddie demos to lay with my 3 year old...tomorrow Bioshock) or streaming movies. Then again, I have a job and children so my playtime is usually late at night so I really appreciate LIVE.
I can get how people in school will enjoy the party aspect of the Wii more....I just hope they stop selling half assed GC ports and come up with original titles. I'm banking it all on Mario Galaxy for me. - robuk24, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Although Halo3 does look great I'm not a fan. I might consider picking up a 360 for bioshock and mass effect. I'd rather spend my money on a new PC though - crisis, orange box, ut3... drool /dugg
- dagamer34, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Didn't you get the memo? It's customary for companies to screw over Europe.
- psykiv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I vote for Digg blocking AOL users.
- Asianwaste, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2If I'm going to pay $500 dollars for a gaming system, I might as well upgrade my PC and wait for the emulators to come out. Wii is going to fall into the same trap every friggin' Nintendo system falls into. That is no one but Nintendo will take advantage of the hardware. This is especially true since Nintendo has made the bold statement of "power and graphics does not make for good games." which is true but does not make for a long living system.
- psykiv, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2279 eur is about 375 usd. So the xbox 360 core is about $375 in europe, but it goes for $279 in the US... Interesting...
- JorgeGT, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1So, for example:
xbox 360 core US: $279
xbox 360 core EU: $375
And the only thing our ***** communitarian government does is asking to remove WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER from Windows. And we the people pay them, you know? - MCHampster, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1http://digg.com/xbox_360/360_Fan_Site_Failure_Rate_Study_It_Ain_t_Pretty
- Kamill85, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Blue-ray adds up a little bit I suppose...
- louiedog, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Oh yeah, they waited almost 2 years to drop the price. I'm sure they'll do it again in 3 or 4 months.
- HigheR, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Its ChadWarden : http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=25LceCPO1ys
- GeorgeTuk, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I love it...months of "Its too expensive, not buying it!" then when reduce the price its not good enough.
- DollaDollaBill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Same here. Wii is a paper weight. Metroid and mario better make up for it. Otherwise I love my PS3, tons a fun and the games are finally starting to ship. Don't own a 360 (yet) but I'm no halo fan and i have a PC for bioshock, etc. I'm sure some titles will come along to make me buy one eventually.
- dunlop, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3that's "various kiddie demos to PLAY with my 3 year old."
/in before someone makes a incest comment and I have to take time off of work to hunt them down :P - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0orange box is 360 too...
- jsully, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Must be nice working for a division of a massive company that doesn't need to worry about making money. "What? We're losing ground to the Wii? Let's just cut our price, we don't actually care about making money." It's insane that anyone can even compete.
- TubbyCat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1And next in the news, Paris Hilton's house has windows.
- BattleScars, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0You don't want us to buy PS3s but your name is Phil Harrison? Time paradox!!!!
- icsbase, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Looks like Wii is a major threat for Xbox360 and they have to put the price down to make Xbox360 more better looking option for the consumers.
- pharrison, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. I hate Microsofts business practices (think Saddam Hussein of the IT world), but then again Sony ramping up the price of initial PS3s to £425 in the UK is astronomical. Dont buy PS3s or the next round of consoles will get ever more expensive as they think consumers will pay!
- cutoutkids, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0oh come on!!i only wanted peoples opinion...
- BattleScars, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0O RLY?
- handheldchimp, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2They didn't even get the Elite yet? That's just sad...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2Great news! I'm holding out on buying a 360 until Halo3's released, so hopefully we'll be seeing plenty of bundles and deals taking advantage of the new lower prices.
I wonder if the revised heatsink models have started to reach stores yet...? - Hacksaws, on 10/10/2007, -2/+0Dugg for the fact that it shows how desperate Microsoft is.
- Godlesswanderer, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1I should really read the article before commenting...
Digg me down. - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0WHAAT? Paris Hilton? Digg.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -3/+0Microsoft? Xbox? Digg.
- SqueakyWheel, on 10/10/2007, -6/+3hdmi consoles have the better heatsink
- danmat06, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1I want a 360 for halo 3 and for bioshock, but i'm a poor student and won't be able to afford one. Therefore, i might wait until they drop it again before christmas, which it's almost guaranteed they'll do.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+0Wii? PS3? Digg.
- Jared80KA, on 10/10/2007, -6/+1Fantastic, they can use the extra money for hygiene.
- cutoutkids, on 10/10/2007, -11/+1very true ive always been put off by new consoles due the price
especially the xbox 360
the wii was value for money in my opinion as the games all look fun..even if aimed at children
im not so sure if i shud get a ps3
