Price Wise: Sony PS3 vs. Microsoft Xbox 360
January 14th, 2009
When I wrote my PS3 review I left out pointing the price range between the Sony PS3 and the Microsoft Xbox 360, mainly because I wanted to do a in-dept price comparison between the two consoles, where both consoles can be comparable with each other feature wise.
Sony PS3 -
- 80Gb System with Blu-ray playback capabilities, Wireless Rechargeable Controller and Charging Cable. $399
- Extra Wireless Rechargeable Controller $45
- Bluetooth Headset $45
Grand Total. $490 without any local tax.
Microsoft Xbox 360 -
- 60Gb System with Non-Rechargable Battery Powered Controller, Wired Headset, and Ethernet Cable. $299
- Extra Non-Rechargable Battery Powered Controller. $40
- Two Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kits (Rechargeable Batteries for Wireless Controllers). $40
- Xbox 360 Wireless Network Adapter (make your Xbox 360 WiFi enable). $99
- Xbox 360 Live Subscription Gold Card (Years worth of multi-playing capability). $50
Grand Total. $530 without local tax, and without the added fact that the Microsoft Xbox 360 doesn’t have Blu-ray playback capabilities.
In the end Price wise, the Sony PS3 is the right choice for a casual gamer, like myself. You make the choice, what type of gamer are you?
