PS3 vs. Xbox 360 250GB hard drive war

Before it was bits and now it's hard drives. Microsoft Corp. this week announced a new 250GB Xbox 360 SKU to more than double Sony Corp.'s 120GB Playstation 3 Slim hardware. In a game of digital content, bigger storage may hold the key to bigger hardware sales and revenue.

Uncharted 2 PS3 slim 250gb bundle is a winner.

IDetonation5336d ago

Flamebait article.
Its a matter of preference.
Two different genres of gaming.

shocky165336d ago

The MW2 elite bundle is bounde to sell more just on the game alone considering it's this years biggest release.

Now quality of each bundle is pure opinion and that is up to you gamers to decide!

Syronicus5336d ago

When you can swap out the HDD with any drive of your choice then you have a winner, PERIOD. Proprietary HDD's are overpriced and simply spell out how much greed exists in that particular business model. Heck, I have had a 250GB PS3 since the launch of the PS3. Say what to that?

Tony P5336d ago

Overcharging means I don't favour MS here.

The ONLY advantage MS has ever had with HDDs is in making them easy to swap out for your average player. You don't even have to open the console. But you do open your wallet.

mastiffchild5336d ago

When ANYONE can upgade their PS3 harddrive to 500gigs if they wish why would thios be such an issue? I got my 320gig for £40 delivered.

I can se that if you didn't have either it might be the cheapest way to get a 360 with that size memory but , really, for the PS3 bundle it's a little limited in audience, imo, as most gamers who haven't joined this gen yet won't generally know much avout U2 however much better some of us think it will be to MW2.

evrfighter5336d ago

hard drive space in a console is a gimmick.

If you really want more space $69 will get you a 1tb hard drive for the pc your on right now. buying a hdd for a ps3 or buying a new 360 hdd is a waste of money.

FarEastOrient5336d ago

HDD wars, what couldn't we get something better than that?

My PS3 at home has 1TB and the PS3 that travels with me is 300GB and they were both cost less than $150. My problem is my 120GB HDD for the Xbox 360 cost $150, how much will the 250GB cost when it is finally released?

blind-reaper5336d ago

Where is the Wii oh... the Wii dont even have a HDD.

jcgamer5336d ago

you guys ALL know that MOST of us bought 360's and/or PS3's for the same price or more with way less storage space...and not a damn game in the box...don't front!

lol :)

oh, quick question...is that smoke on the 360's cover art?!

Real Gambler5336d ago (Edited 5336d ago )

Risky advertising from Microsoft I guess...

@Evrfighter: "If you really want more space $69 will get you a 1tb hard drive for the pc your on right now. buying a hdd for a ps3 or buying a new 360 hdd is a waste of money."

Let me guess, you don't know that you can buy pretty much any laptop drive and install it in a PS3? No huge markup or anything. I bought a 500gig on Ebay for $75, then I bought a tiny USB enclosure for $10 because I didn't want to have the old 60gig doing nothing...

End result: I have a 500gig PS3 and a very nice and useful external 60gig tiny USB hard drive for $85.

robep35336d ago

......my launch 60gb PS3 has been 320gb for the best part of a year and my new PS3 SLIM will be 500gb before the end of the year!

Consoldtobots5336d ago

lol if this is a "war" then my 500GB PS3 must be a secret stealth fighter that swoops in from above and ends the whole dbate.

WiiFit5336d ago

This isn't about the wii stupid..anyway I'd prefer the 360 250gb because it looks so nice :3 (lets hope it doesn't rrod)

Tachyon_Nova5336d ago

My PS3 is 320Gb, so I'm afraid, looks like I'm the winner...

Let me think. Get a console with an expansion... or a full game.

Such a hard choice. /sarcasm

IDetonation5336d ago

Mw2 an expansion?
Wow.
Were not talking about L4D2 or ODST here.

ZBlacktt5336d ago

IDetonation,

He means some old thing. Which is really is.... the online anyway. Look on youtube. Same old thing,, small maps, some old point, same looking basic graphic's, just nothing new. Not a bash, just we all see this. The reviews for WAW stated the same thing. Just same old game play of COD4, with different setting in time.

DAVID BRENT5336d ago (Edited 5336d ago )

SATA harddrives cant beat em.. dont hate the player,dont hate the game hate microsofts money grabbing thinking

DB...no not david beckham pfft

theEnemy5336d ago

The war has already been won by the PS3 when Sony allows the gamers to freely upgrade their HD to as high as what the current 2.5" SATA HD allows them to.

640GB so far.

evilmonkey5015336d ago

are so freakin fast....glad I can put one in my ps3!

7 Iconic Games That Put The PS1 On The Map

The first PlayStation is home to an array of iconic video games that went on to define the sheer significance of this console.

SimpleSlave22h ago

I think from a historical perspective I would change Spyro for Grand Turismo. It's the franchise that made the PS1 look like an absolute unit. Other than that, I can't argue with the rest when it comes to games that defined the PS1.

And to be honest, there should be space for Tekken 3, Wipepout and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater in order to round out the PS1 identity as the machine to own at the time.

With Tomb Raider 2, Silent Hill, Symphony of the Night, Tenchu, and Soul Reaver as backup contenders.

Ar Tonelico Qoga: Knell Of Ar Ciel Retro Review – Love Conquers All

Gary Green said: You’ll be forgiven if you haven’t heard of the Ar Tonelico trilogy. The previous two games arrived so late in the PS2’s life-cycle that they simply went unnoticed. While most were tinkering with their shiny new PS3s, Ar Tonelico: Melody of Elemia and Ar Tonelico II: Melody of Metafalica were being ‘returned to sender’ by your local Game stores. Luckily, you won’t need to have played them to understand and appreciate this third and final chapter, Qoga (pronounced k-yoga) tells the story of a racial war between humans and Reyvateils, a breed of biologically produced female cyborgs capable of reproduction, while still having a digital mind.

Oh my god. I kinda wish this would get a remaster on PS5, it would be awesome. One of my favorite games on PS3.

That and 3D Dot Game Heroes. It's a shame that some stuff is stuck on PS3.

Knightofelemia2d ago

Ar Tonelico 3 is good I still prefer the first AT game. The music is solid in all the games and Akiko Shikata is a very talented singer bringing life to the game. Only annoying part is well I find is Saki I always choose Finnel or Tyria. KOEI so needs to HD remaster the franchise along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge since it never came to North America. I would day one the Ar Toneliceo games and Ar Nosurge if they were remastered.

TheColbertinator2d ago

I still have the limited edition of Qoga unopened. Unfortunately it never went up in value like I had hoped all these years.

Father__Merrin1d 22h ago

Used to own all these quirky JRPG on ps3 good times. Wish I would have kept them all

Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX

This could be fun as they make great tables. Go big or go extinct. Prime your senses for a neural handshake and step into the cockpit of a Jaeger. It is on you to cancel the apocalypse when Pacific Rim Pinball comes to Pinball FX on May 16.
