Sony's Next-Gen Chart
Filed in archive Console Wars by anthony on October 20, 2006

Sony released this chart after their PS3 press conference last night, they want you to believe that the Xbox 360 actually costs you $700.
Unfortunately, Sony is full of shit, this chart is just flat out wrong. Let's evalute:
Console: Honestly, how many people actually buy the retard pack? Out of the 400,000 PS3 consoles in the USA this November, 80% of them will be the $599 version. I don't think I've even seen the 360 core pack in a store for months.
Requires Users to Buy: All of the systems are good to go out of the box, nobody has to buy anything they don't want.
HDD: Okay, if you do get a core 360, you will need to buy a HDD....but this can be easily solved by just getting the premium box (399), which comes with the HDD, wireless controller, component cables, and a headset.
Blu-Ray/HD-DVD: This is legit. If you're looking to use your console to play High definition
discs, this is something to take into consideration.Wireless controller: The core 360 comes with a wired controller. The premium model comes with a wireless controller. Like with the HDD, if you get a premium 360, this argument is invalid.
Online Access/Xbox Live: They've got a point here, but Xbox Live is a really kick ass service, and we don't know anything about Sony's. To be fair, if it is a good service that is comprable to Xbox Live...Sony will give you the better value.
The bottom line is, don't believe this chart.
