Why does everyone think ps3 owns just cuz of it bluray player?

May be...

ps3 is a overpriced bluray player ......the only diff. between the 360 and ps3 is the ps3's online is free cuz the graphics r the same .....but u ever heard of the saying nothing good in life is free...........so to me ps3 needs to drop their price and then they might be selling more systems

I think the price for ps3 is also ridiculous i mean i <3 the system but the price is really high almost half a grand... yea bluray is part of the expensive price. if there pric was lower they would sell lots more :/

The reason ppl think PS3 is better because of BluRay is because it "comes with a Blu-Ray built-in" and that means one less thing you need to buy! Unlike the PS3 the 360 supports "HD DVD" but.... it does not come with it built in. You therefore have to go out and buy it separately which cost about $149 and 360 does not have WI-FI so then you will have to buy the WI-FI adapter which is about $80.



Now that we thought of all that PS3 is $499 and the total amount of the 360 is $199 (360 Console) + $150 (HD DVD PLAYER) +$80 (WI-FI adapter) = TOTAL: $450!

So the 360 is $50 more than the PS3 if you think about it!



P.S. Blu-Ray graphics make a huge difference. 1080p!!

I love Blueray'

and once you have seen it on an HDTV DVD is no better than VHS for picture and sound quality

graphics are also smoother on the ps3 and games much more involved

the ps3 disc holds up to 50 gigs of data

Xbox... up to 9 gigs

worth the price

well,

1.bluray.it has the best picture quality for movies, and in some games it does make the quality better, bluray rocks if youve got an hdtv.



2.exclusive titles.yes, all consoles have their exclusive titles, but ps3 has some awsome exclusive titles, killzone, motorstorm littlebigplanet(kinda babyish tho)you get the point.



3.Wireless controler come standard.Yeah, some bring sixaxis,some dualshock 3, and the difference is annoying, trust me, but they come stardard wireless, xbox 360 wireless will run you about $50 for controller(wireless).



4.WI-FI.wi-fi comes standard on ps3, AND theres ethernet cable also, so you can choose.wifi adapter will run you im not sure if it was $50 or somethin like that, but anyway, standard!



5.Bluetooth. if you dunno what it is, its a method of short range communication, between two or more devices, distances range from 35ft to about 125 ft.PS3 uses bluetooth, which means you can connect any bluetooth headset that you have.



6.free online play, and playstation home!Play station home, is like a living, breathing world of avatars, completely free! and online play may be crappy, but its free, and the ps3 has a built in web browser, in which you can even watch youtube!(btw youtube page is i think youtube.com/tv)



that is why the ps3 pwns xbox 360(and those are just off the top of my head, i could write about how good the ps3 is to save my life!PS3 FTW!!!!!!!!!!!SONY FTW!!!!!!!XBOX360FTL!!!!(for the loose)MICROSOFT FTL/W!(they win/ and loose, cause they suked at amkinf xbox 360 no offense, but they made vista, nd xp, nd windows 7 etc.

not cuz of bluay



xbox360 is the same in games (if u just have it for gemes it doesent matter)



i like the ps3 more cuz ,movies free internet, games so basicly its the same but ps3 doesent have red ring of death that messes it up



id say ps3



prices cant do anything bout it... if u trying to save 360

Who cares about blue ray? Omfg man. Blue ray is the new frontier. It is the climax of high def right now. The PS3 is such a better system in terms of power, potential, and games. A dvd disc holds 9 gig, while a blue ray disk holds 50 gig. over 5 times as much memory for 5 times better games! The ps3 has so much more power than the 360, and with free online, completely wireless, and a failure rate of .2% compared to the xbox 33%, the ps3 is not a very expensive machine. You will pay alot more for a 360. The ps3 has so much more for the money and is easily the cheapest consol for the features it has on it.

well your wrong for MANY reasons...



BLURAY IS AMAZING...



i mean it is the LATEST technology for movies...and it is ABOVE 1080p....which even a regular 360 doesn't play...



it has TONS OF EXCLUSIVES



-Killzone 2

-M.A.G.

-MGS4

-Resistance

and TONS MORE



so you were wrong about let's see....



-Graphics

-blu ray

-price of ps3



Do you want me to go on?...

Let me ask you this, why don't you just pay the PS3 already and suck it up if the price is too high.



Stop complaining about the price so much. It's worth it already.

I don't even use bluray for movies. The developers have only begun tapping into the power of the PS3, where the Xbox 360 is just about tapped out!

you poor sad little fan boy



i love the ps3 but i wont denie that games or very over priced and a pain in the @$$ to pay for so you got me there

I have a 360, but I'm very close to getting a PS3 because I keep getting the Red Ring of Death!

well it doesnt really matter its just opinion

If you were to buy everything the PS3 has built in on the Xbox, the Xbox would cost more than the PS3. And while there are cheaper Blu-ray players on the market now, that was not the case when the PS3 first came out as it was the cheapest Blu-ray player for over 2 years. Graphic wise, the PS3 has more potential than the Xbox (look at MGS4 and Killzone 2), but the problem is that if developers don't use it, then it doesn't matter. The place you see the difference is in exclusive titles (MGS4 and Killzone 2) on how much the PS3 is so much better than the Xbox.



Now, with all of that said, the reason Sony has free online is because Micro$oft blows Sony out of the water in this area. Micro$oft has been dealing with internet stuff for ages, and Sony has a lot of catching up to do. Is Sony behind online wise? Yes, but over time they will compete with Micro$oft, if not pass them by, and when that time comes, Sony will be charging just like Micro$oft does. Beside, Sony online isn't bad considering it is free.



The PS3 is outselling the Wii and Xbox in Japan, and Japan is the focal point when it comes to these sort of things. This just started a couple months ago, with Wii being #1, Xbox being #2, and PS3 being #3 before that. Sony has no reason to lower the price of the PS3 considering they are still losing money on every PS3 sold, and as history has shown, the PS3 will come out on top again. There is a reason the Xbox was pushed out a year sooner and Sony decided not to rush theirs. Micro$oft pushed their system out knowing it had defects, and now the consumer is having to deal with that. Sony wanted to push theirs out sooner, but decided to make sure they could put out the best product possible with the most features possible.



In the long run, Sony knows what they are doing, and as long as they have Micro$oft to push them, it will get better.



Now, tell the real reason you posted this comment: The PS3 need to drop its price so that you can get one. It would be nice if it was cheaper, but if you consider everything the PS3 has, you are already getting a deal at its current price.

It might actually drop it's price. and

IT DOES perform way better graphic wise. It's just that all multi-platform games were made with the xbox 360 in mind and not playstation 3. ( this is coming from a guy who owns niether but played both). You have to see Killzone 2 graphics in HD on Youtube. Or look up Uncharted or even better the upcoming uncharted 2. So graphics actually are better.



Do you know that it has built in wifi? The xbox 360 wifi adapter costs $100. So really once you get that, it's the same price! Plus you can surf the web, and play online free on the ps3. The thing the xbox 360 does have over the ps3 though is that it comes with a headset.



It also has the best upcoming exclusive games for 2009/2010. Xbox 360 on the other hand only has Halo ODST. Playstation 3 is getting:

*God of War 3

*L.A Noire

* inFamous ( comes out this month, a sandbox game has high ratings)

*White Knight Chorincles

*MAG ( Massive Action Game. 256 player online shooter)

*Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. ( saw gameplay on youtube yesterday. LOOKS AMAZING!!!)

*Quantum Theory

*Final Fantasy Versus 13 ( CONSOLE SELLER! sales in Japan jumped!)

and some more to be announced this month... like i said Xbox 360? pretty much only Halo ODST and will that be able to compete to all the ps3 upcomings? Every other game coming out will be playable on both.



Great games on ps3 now ( not downloadable/arcade games)

*Little Big Planet

*Killzone 2

*Uncharted: Drakes fortune

*Socom: Confrontation ( online shooter)

*Warhawk

*Ratchet and Clank tools of destruction

*Resistance: Fall of Man

*Resistance 2

*Prince of Persia

*MLB 09 The show

*Ninja Gaiden Sigma



Now list of xbox 360 ONLY games ( as many of there games just get sent to PC) can compare to this. Xbox 360 just relies on Halo 3 and Gears of War. But why get 2 games when you can get the 10 games i mentioned (and more) and then the 8 games coming out! E3 is also around the corner so they're going to announce more! So if you had a ps3 you'd be playing on those titles and then some of the same games you find on the xbox 360, like Fallout 3 or Dead space.



Yes, i think ps3 should drop it's price but you get more out of it then any other console and will last until 2016. So $400 for lets see 7 years? That's only like $57 each year , which isn't alot. And imagine PS home and all the upcoming updates and games for the ps3 within the next seven years.



Xbox 360 was a great console for it's time but now, and slowly the ps3 is dominating and more and more people are seeing that. and More and MORE ps3 sales.



The price drop your talking about may even come into effect sometime





So to conclude. Thats why people think the ps3 owns. it's just not because of it's blueray player? ( and noticed i didn't talk much about blueray playing and you can already see the ps3 owning the 360). i like both consoles though in terms of online gaming 360 owns because you pay. if you just want straight forward online gaming (no bells and whistles) then PSN is for you.



xbox 360 rocks. Playstation 3 rocks harder.
