^^^ oh well still no lol they are coming out with a 80 gb and its 700 and the 60 is going back up to 600 in a lil while
Thats not quite true. I don;t know the US prices, but basically the 60 gig new price point is to stay because it has been discontinued. So they are clearing them out. When they get lower in stock the 80 gig will be released and its price point is going to be the same as the 60 was.
I guess I just dont get why ppl are bashing the PS3 so much. I hear people wanting to get a 360 and just a blu-ray player by itself. Now, it just have to ask myself this question. How fucking stupid are you ppl. Even if you dont game, just get a PS3 if you want a blu-ray player. A regular blu-ray player itself costs 1000 dollars right now. A PS3 as of now costs 599. Now, Im no genius but which is the better deal? hmmmmm........:g:
I see your point, but one thing you need to know is that blu-ray on PS3 is emulated not true blu-ray like on an actual player. This is why its so much cheaper. (I mean yeah still not cheap enough, but cheaper). This means the quality is not quite as good. Just like if you watch a DVD on your computer as compared to an actual DVD player.
You don't have to buy any acessories to make it run properly. And who cares if it malfunctons, Microsoft put a five year warranty on every 360(it's been out for like 2) so you can send it in and wait a week to get a brand new one. Oh and on a 360 you can download demos and movies and shit. So yeah i'd go with an Xbox but it's up to you.......
Its actually only a 3 year warrenty and thats for red ring of death light issues only. otherwise it is still a 1 year. However they do offer a 2 year extended to 3 years on everything else as well for like $60 canadian (don't know the us price) you can even add it on if your 1 year is already up. Just call there 1-800 number.
as for blu-ray & HD in genreal, neither one is doing well enough to determin which will be the standard yet. Therefore I refuse to hop on either wagon. I will play the wait and see which one wins. Because there is just as much a chance that they will both fail and we will still be running regular DVD's until something completely different comes out. I mean after VHS there were VCD's and Laser Discs. Both failed. THis could be the same thing, I refuse to spend any money on either until something is more perminant, the way DVD did after the VCD's & Laser Discs.
My advice Truth is if you really want a PS3, get it now while the 60 gigs are still on the shelf, otherwise you'll be paying more for the 80 later......or try to find a 20 gig new somewhere (you can upgrade the Hard drive yourself)
Oh and as an EB employee...don't buy the refurb 360's. there worse then the old model 360's new. Just buy the new ones. all the ones since the elite have the new heat sink and mother board and work a lot better then before. very few defective issues.
