Justice League Heroes

In the chart, it says, "Requires Users to Buy." So, yes, it is completely infactual in that light.

However, I do see what you're saying. But I think you're missing one important point: The 360 gives you the choice to buy what you want, while the PS3 is just there, thus you have to pay $600 for it. You have no other option.

Interesting that Sony fails to mention anything about the premium package for the 360, or the fact that, you know, you're not required to buy any of that, and the system will do its job perfectly--to play games.

The whole point of the chart is to show how much extra you'd need to spend on your XBox 360 to get the same stuff as on the PS3... The purpose of the chart is to show that even though it has a high price point the PS3 is a much better deal and that they are offering at a lower price (compared to manufacturing cost) and taking a profit hit to make the system accessible. They aren't lieing or misleading anyone.

That's not the point of the statement. It states that in order to have all the premium features of next-generation gaming, you're required to buy the following items.

The chart was taken out of context or a larger article...

The choice is certainly a marketable element found in the Xbox 360. However Sony is about capital and pushing the envelope for next-generation gaming.

The wireless controller which is wiiiiii bit of knockoff is required to play the games.

The Blu-Ray Drive, which is SO misunderstood, is NOT just for movies. It's for the games themselves. The games are held in Blu-Ray Discs which allows nearly 40 to 50 GB worth of storage in comparision to the standard DVD. The game called Lair uses 9GB for ONE level in the game. That's about all you could fit in the DVD even with compression. If you take it out...the PS3 isn't a PS3. It's the friggin' engine for the PS3....

The online service is free so that's a given.

What people don't understand is the Blu-Ray Drive itself. Many people see it as an unecessary movie-watching device. It isn't. It plays the games too.....

Well, of course. It's called advertisement. Show me an Apple Ipod commerical that states that their batteries are irreplaceable and they have to be returned for a hundred bucks. Or a Pepsi commercial that states that Coke tastes just the same as the Coca-Cola.

ALL advertisements withhold or mislead information in order to make their products more appealing. It's nothing new. It's been done for decades. Microsoft has done it. Sony has done it. Hell, the towel called Bounty is advertise in a similar matter in comparision to a "leading brand."

Virtually ALL commericals on your TV do this. Except those annoying prescription ads....

I see what you're saying.

Also interesting, though, that PS3 didn't mention that you need to buy HDMI cables to support HD resolutions in games, as far as I know.

Or have I been misinformed?

That's false.

If you want the VERY best resolution for the graphics, you need HDMI cables. That's the Ferrari of video cables.

You can play ANY HDTV resolution on regular component cables. However 1080p games won't look nearly as good as they should unless they have HDMI cables....

My fault. Sony should have added component cables to the list, instead. 😉

For some odd reason, Sony isn't including component cables with the system. It's kinda required to get actual HD....

My point exactly. Why isn't that on the list, I wonder? See my point? To say this chart wasn't misleading is ridiculous.

Also, mysteriously missing, is the headset for online play. Guess it must've slipped Sony's mind.

Dude, did you miss the string of lawsuits, felony violations and copyright sueances they been having for the last few years?

They're not "evil". They're both businesses. They want profits.

Microsoft's domination over the video gaming industry is however detrimental to the industry itself. Microsoft as shown countless times in the past tends to take monopolisitic (which is why they're being investigated; it's illegal...) tactics to take over an industry.

No competition means bad games and even worse consoles....

Microsoft dominates the game industry?!? 😕 🤨

I think you're thinking of EA

The $600 version is worthless. The only extra features are more harddrive space and a memory card reader for digital cameras.

Which means the $500 is a far better choice.

If it's too expensive, than obviously wait for the price to go down. And down it will go eventually.

Just like they brought down the PS2 price right? 🙄 😆

Seriously Sony still refuses to lower the price of the PS2 to $100

Def Jam
X-men Legends
Tekken dark resurrection
Guilty Gear
burnout
the Mega man remake
and GTA have been great
Street fighter

And now with Metal Gear, JLH, MUA, and MKD they have a pretty descent line up.

Good games 😐

Craptastic System 😉

Actually I have talked to some guys at my local ebgames and they said that Sony is actually going to make users buy online updates for games and whatnot 😐

Overall the game is pretty good. Its just REALLY short. Ive beaten it like four or five times and it hasn't even been a week yet. And not im not a dork...lol... ive been playing it at night after classes and writing papers and i played it for a good bit this weekend. Also, i didnt really like the fact that you cant just pick which heroes go where until the game allows. And i wasnt too pleased with Aquaman's less than original special move set...i mean come on...a water blade? The game itself is fun and the music was pretty good. There were a few bugs with the voice overs in combat though. Sometimes the words came kind of late...like once i picked up a power up with zatana right before dying and while she lay dead for a few seconds...she goes"NOW IM FEELIN IT!" in response to the power up.It was awsome seeing the heroes perform moves just like you would expect them to unlike Xmen Legends where a lot of combos just look kinda boring and recycled.I look forward to a second game that gets rid of the bugs, takes longer to beat and has a little deeper plot. If you like the Justice League...then you should def consider picking it up.

Do they have specials and extra moves like the legends series.

EB Games is definitely my go to spot for accurate video game news.

Why should they when after 6 years it's still the top selling console every month? You think Nintendo loves their fans or something? Only reason GCN went to 100 so fast was because nobody bought it. MS doesn't even manufacture the Xbox anymore. At least PS2 still has a few great games coming out.

Im not saying that 😐

However if Sony was smart, they would realize that the cheaper the system, the more appealing it is to more people.

They can't lower the price point anymore, the production cost of the systems are $700 and $900 (apposed to the 360's $500) and they are already taking a huge hit in profit selling them at the current prizes.

How much more appealing can the PS2 be? It's the top selling console ever.
