I got my Elite when it 1st came out in 2007 and it has a HDMI port! You hear people bitch about the RROD but at least it is covered under warrenty. Every other week there seems to be a post about someones PS3 crapping out on them and they have to shell out 150-200 dollars for sony to fix it. Hell Updates on the PS3 have fried systems. I would rather have a system that doesnt break at all but I already had a PS3 break on me and had to purchase a used one from EB games with there stupid 40.00 extended warrenty. My Elite is still alive and kicking without an issue and I recently sold my Feb 06 model Xbox that is still working fine. Its a piece of mind to know that you have a warrenty and wont have to worry about it if the system breaks. I had the confidence in my 1st PS3 and spent the 500.00 on it without purchasing a extended warrenty and 4 months later it broke and the factory 90 day warrenty was up!
as far as the PS3 coming with everything already installed and the Xbox you have to addon that is the point. The Xbox is made for everyone. You choose what you want to have on it. If you want a 20,60,120,240, or no hd you choose, if you want wireless you choose, if you wanted the HD Dvd player you bought it for extra. This is how they make the xbox cheaper then the PS3 and how a person who doesnt care about all the extra B/S and just wants to be a gamer can afford it.
And as far as the car buying comparison you gave. You bought a 08 Pontiac and have a F-body.. If you were so worried about reliability why not buy a Honda? Instead you buy a brand new car from a company that is extinct a year later!!
Kudos on that info you found. Must have taken sometime to find that. I just googled Next gen and got this website.
http://nexgenwars.com/ but according to Wikapedia the PS has sold 27 million world wide and the 360 34 million world wide as of OCT 09. You are a devoted PS3 owner. I am not. Sony has screwed me over once to many times with the PS3, hell even with my old TV. And as far as this thread goes it sounded like he wanted the best racing game out there and that happens to be on Xbox.
Nobody is saying that you cant play online with the PSN. I just hate not being able to invite friends to play games while I am playing the game or like in GT5 Pro not being able to setup races with my friends or just not being able to find my friends to race them. I also hate having to back out of games to do ****. The PSN is just so far behind it seems. Its like whenever XBL gets a new update it takes a year for the PSN to catch back up but then it is to late and XBL is out with new features.
And as far as the HD DVD/BR thing I love them both. I dont buy BR's because I have Netflix and I would rather buy the Matrix Trilogy on HD DVD for 10.00 then on BR for 80.00 while they both have the great picture/video quality. I was actually happy when they quit the HD DVD format because the price of those dvd's dropped by like 95%. I own maybe 10 BR movies and over 100 HDDVD's and probably spent close to the same money on those 10 BR movies that I did on the 100 HDDVD's
Well let me get back to some Forza 3. I am going to take my 02 black WS6 and do a nice motor swap in it. Its so nice having a game with you exact car you drive in real life in the game. especially when it is snowing out or just crappy weather like it is today. A friend of mine on XBL has the GTA and is suppose to be pretty quick. I setup a race for tonight so I hope he shows. This is all in Forza 3 of course and this friend also has a LSX turbo 88 GTA in real life. So cool. I hope my Forza WS6 can take him because my real WS6 cant touch him..
