What Would Drive you to the other Consoles?

Nothing would "drive" me to a console, other than the reason why I buy the ones I do already: Good games, Good graphics.

Well, I don't think its having a thing for one specific console.

As much as it is not having a drive for other consoles.

I mean for me I think a lot of things need to come together. I still think the PS3 is priced too highly and as much as there are some games I want to try I don't feel any of them justify me spending that much money.

Now my 360 I got a good deal for it when I bought it and it had games I currently wanted and was waiting for so it worked out.

Now my Wii well just a bit biase.

There are different versions of PS3.

I have the top-of-the-line 900 dollar one with 4 ports, and dual backwards compatability for the big TV in the living room.

But then in my room I have the 300 dollar 2 port, no backwards compatability version for just my bedroom.

These must be insane Canadian prices was never that much or that cheap in the states.

And I get that there are different SKUs, I follow the console. I still don't think any game justifies the asking price for me, but like I said the MGS 4 bundle is REALLY tempting so if I can clear up some finances I may get it.

What you also have to factor in, is that the PS3 doubles as a Blu-ray player, and Blu-ray players are almost as expensive, if not more expensive than a PS3 in the first place.

Which is highly stupid.

O the PS3 being a blu ray player is the number one reason interested in it right now.
But I feel like would only watch certain movies in hi-def or rebuy as it were.

The 360's lineup drove me to a PS3, I saw many many many more games I wanted to play on the PS3 and I went for it. I've not regretted in once.

I don't know what it would take to get me to buy a Wii again...

I don't get that at all, too expensive? I see it as a way better daal than the 360.

$350- Xbox 360
$50- 1 Year of Xbox Live
$100- Wireless adapter to play online

Total= $500

$399- PS3
$0- Online for forever
$0- Built-in adapter

Total= $399 or to be fair, if you want a HDD that is 4 times bigger instead of 2 times bigger then it would be $499

* And that includes a Blu-Ray player *shrugs*

Well assuming you know I don't have a wireless adapter.
And I have never bought anything on my 360 full price.

They still work out about the same.
And yeah I felt the 360 was too damn expensive as well, but I got 100 dollars back so it was a steal.

You're a CAG

But that's for you though, I didn't know that you don't have a wireless adapter. But for many people the PS3 would still be the cheaper option in the short and long run. But everyone just still sees the PS3 as the $600 piece of shit that only has Resistance and I feel bad for them because they're missing one hell of an offering of games.

Free. Yeah, if they were free I'd be more inclined to pick them up.
