wow that sucks

It is business as usual…

I own both and both are great machines.  Neither is superior to the other in hardware.  The PS3 is probably the stronger unit becsause of BD playback but I love my xbox also.  The whole streaming video is moot until we can actually get decent broadband access.  My COMCRAP 16 is so inconsistent it impossible to get through a movie without it quitting.

Let me get some clarification. You stated that ps3 took 2008 gaming. Is this statement true because ps3 sold more consoles? Do you think this has anything to due with the fact that xbox has already saturated the market and quite possibly people are trying to get an affordale bluray player now? Once cheaper blu-ray players get out there, Sony will have to depend on GAMES for a change. That’s when it will get challenging for them. As far as xbox being garbage, I will be the first to admit every single one of my friends who had a first generation console had to sent it in to M$ to get repaired, all of them including myself. This is the exact same thing that has happened to 3 of my friends who own a ps3. Now I also own a ps3, but have not had any problems thankfully. The difference was that to get my xbox replaced, the shipping, repair, and return shipping was all free even after the 1 year warranty. My friends had to pay not only for the shipping, but also up to $150 to repair the console they had purchased past the manufactures warranty. This makes me think that maybe the higher price does not necessarily mean you are getting a better product. Let me guess, you buy only Monster Cables?

Also PS3 has one of the best blue ray drives in the market. I believe the only reason that xbox dropped their price to $199 is that they are scared right now, PS3 took 2008 for gaming. MS better fix the xbox360 if they ever want to compete because the xbox is garbage hince why it is so cheap to buy.
