Xbox 360 vs. PS3 costs comparison
222
It's been 2 to 3 years since the launch of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. There are new models and phased-out models for each. Mike Got Game recently poked around the costs associated for both consoles. See which one is really cheaper.

If its RRoD. If its something, anything, else you're SOL.
Though honestly, the guy doesn't have a right to include repair costs into the total. That blows any legitimacy the article could have had.

1.10 - @el botto
"Its only free if you fall under the 3 year. A lot of early adapters are already outside the 3 year or will be soon.
And XBOX has more hidden costs like ERROR 74, disc scratching, low battery life etc that dont fall under the 3 year warranty."
A three year warranty for RROD is a good thing. Sony's warranty is only for 1 year. If you need anything after one year you are SOL unless you fork over some cash. One year on anything else that breaks on the 360 is not as bad as fanboys make it seem. Sure the fail rate is rather high (or was) but it is nowhere near the ridiculous state that a lot of fanboys make it out to be. My launch console failed on me one time, and it was my fault most likely for having the damned thing inside an entertainment center.
"And then there is XBOX LIVE. 50 bucks a year.
"but, but, buts its just 4.20 a month"
No, its 300 bucks for 6 years. 400 bucks for 8 years. 500 bucks for 10 years. XBOX 360 is claimed to have a 10 year life cycle + 1 day.
Free on PC and PS3 and even the wii."
Weak argument. I would rather pay for Live than have to wait for 3 plus years to get all of the features Live has had from the beginning on the PS3. Seriously, you brought the Wii into this? Friend codes ring a bell? Voice chat? I mean c'mon straw man.
"98% of its games are multi platform. The processor and graphics card cant match PS3s combination. It lacks harddrive, something that is needed for most games. It doesnt have true 1080P as it upscales the resolution. And it doesnt have true HDMI as it utilizes an older version. And the lack of a next gen format."
I don't think it is quite 98%, more like 85-90%. It is roughly the same ratio of multi platform as PS3. A hard drive is NOT needed for any game yet, unless you are talking about arcade games. I'll give you the upscale and the HDMI argument. If Blu Ray is teh future, why hasn't the PC adopted it yet, considering that it blows away both PS3 and XBOX 360 in terms of graphics and features? Shouldn't a PC be using Blu Ray? Oh wait, it still uses DVD9 and gets the job done.
"Conclusion. Even the gamecube is a better device than the 360. If you got money to burn, youre better off buying a real heater."
Gamecube < 360, that is complete fanboy rant failure right there. Also, the PS3 gets just as hot as the 360, if not hotter. Usually I don't call people out like that, but that comment was full of FAIL!

1.11 - That comparison sucked!
I could pull a better price comparison out my...
Anyways, why is this age old price debate being brought back up?
Everyone here knows the PS3 is "cheaper" but it isn't always about price so why should we read articles from such low quality sites with such low quality effort put in to their subjects?
Screw "Live cost blah blah blah"
lets bring up things that HAVE to be bought like batteries for the controllers or a recharge unit+recharge batteries.
The minuscule memory of the arcade models that HAS to be upgraded
What about the games that come bundle? Kung fu Panda, REALLY? Lego Indianan Jones? Sonic Super Stars Tennis?
Crappy games mean you HAVE to buy a good game right away, PS3 has had great game bundles and continues to. Resistance, MotorStorm, LBP, Metal Gear Solid, Uncharted, Gran Turismo Prologue. All are good for holding you over till your wallet can take a hit from an additional game purchase
After that stuff is mentioned THEN you compare the frills that real gamers want.
The Online support/functions/cost/social aspect
The Wifi
The HDD upgrades
the additional controllers
Blu-ray/Hd-Dvd players
The 5.1-7.1 Surround sound
The face-plates/appearance
The warranties
The failure rate and types of failures
The blu-tooth
The Six-axis
The cameras and games/uses
The multi-media capabilities
The up-coming motion controls
THE EXCLUSIVE GAMES
Gamers know what they want and don't need articles like this to tell them.

Who the hell understands fanboys!!!!
Sometimes PS3 fanboys say the ps3 is more expensive then the X360, other times they say it's cheaper.
Make up your minds already. Fanboys are fanboys... they say what suits them at that specific time ... (when sales numbers come out!!!).

1.14 - Yeah, although this article certainly has a point, repair costs shouldn't be included.
Personally, I had to pay $170 twice to fix my 360...but that was eventually, and after a long fight, refunded back to me when Microsoft extended the warranty.
I wonder how many other's Microsoft tried to screw over like me who just weren't paying attention. It was reported when Microsoft extended the warranty that refund checks would automatically go out. Not only did that not happen with me, but I eventually had to fax MS my Visa statements because MS said they had no record of either of my repairs.
I wonder how many people simply didn't know Microsoft was offering rebates and MS just kept their money like they tried with me?
Edit Below: But he's acting like a repair is a certainty for the Xbox. It's not.

1.17 - What do sales have to do with anything?
Actually, the PS3 in it's 2 1/2 years has moved just shy of 23 million consoles. The 360 at this point was only at 19 million. Obviously consumers have caught on to the PS3's value because they're adopting it much faster then they ever bought into the 360.

1.19 - DVD drive is covered under the one year, not the 3 years.
It was just RROD/E74 that was covered under the 3 years. I know because I had a run in with a disk gouging unit that Microsoft sent me as a replacement. They refused to fix it even though they had just sent it to me two weeks prior because drive problems weren't covered by the 3 year. Thankfully, I had bought an extended warranty after my 2nd 360 went on me so that covered it. I don't know about now, but a couple of years ago a 2 year extended warranty cost an extra $75 from Microsoft.

1.20 - RROD
You know that MS extends the warranty each time you get a replacement system. I have had the 360 since day one and even though I am on my 5th system I have never paid a dime!
These figures are bull shet by the way. Haha
Wireless adapter?
RROD fees?
Network fees? You know you can get it cheaper right?
Playstation's die as well! You will have to pay as well and their warranty isn't half as good as the 360's!
Nice figures fanboy!

1.23 - @ Gamertags. That's simply not true.
The warranty is not reset when they send you a replacement system. As I mentioned earlier, in my case they wanted me to pay $170 (cdn) to repair a disk gouging unit they had sent me just two weeks prior because it wasn't covered under my original warranty.
I wouldn't go so far as to call you a liar, because maybe the warranty is different in your country, but I know this isn't true in Canada.
Edit below: And you're in the majority. Most 360 owners will never have a problem and that's why it has so many supporters. It's a great system, and if most people don't have an issue, what's the problem? That's what some PS3 fans don't understand. They wonder why you would support a faulty system...well most 360 owners don't have a faulty system. Now, if you're one of the unlucky owners like me that have had nothing but problems with their 360...that certainly changes your gaming habits and your opinions, but we are in the minority.

The RROD just doesn't occur as much anymore and MS did give 3-year warranty on it. If anything else breaks, you are in the same sh!thole as you were on the PS3.
Heck, what I read around forums is people intentionally inducing RROD when something else breaks to get another machine out of warranty.
The price differential is just different business models. Every company has to make money somehow and I do agree that some of the accessory cost on the Xbox is outrageous, but there is a price to get a machine cheap up front. It's like Jack Tretton once commented on the low PS2 price and how consumers sensitive to the $30 price drop are probably not going to buy many games. If you bought the 360s Arcade model based on price, one has wonder how many games that person will buy.
@darkride:
Yeah, when I initially bought a 360 I was so concerned about the RROD (and more importantly the Disc Read Errors) due to all the horror stories and bought an extended warranty at Target for 3-years. Cost me $35. I consider it a waste of money since I probably will never need it. My 360 is rock solid so far and with the install option I don't think my disc drive will ever give me an issue.

I bought the Xbox360 second batch after it came out. I got RROD - I used my warranty from Circuit City; got my money back and Upgraded to the Elite haven't had RROD since. I have 4 other friends who got RROD one did the Xbox warranty kept breaking but go it fixed the others had Best Buy and warranties like that all upgrade and no problems since. RROD - yes it did happen get over it... its fixed for the first part now, and you should be buying the extended warranty on any electronic device you buy. (Biggest upset about RROD was it happen to me day after Thanksgiving and I was in the middle of Assassin's creed.)
Next argument wireless, not everyone requires wireless bad argument. I personally like it wired its faster, and if your trying to stream HD video 802.11g just isn't fast enough. You would have to get an upgraded adapter for the PS3. So basically you paid for 2 wireless cards. Like I said silly point because its all based on the persons needs and standards.
BLU-RAY - Another point that is silly and based on someones needs and standards. I did not buy a game console to watch movies. I am happy with DD and upscale DVD. Yes I've seen the quality of BLU RAY its great just I'm not as picky about the quality. AS long as the movie has better quality than VHS I'm good. Another point that basically goes back to the person and the standards.
As a programmer one thing we are taught is 80% of features are never used by the majority of people using the product (perfect example Microsoft Office). Again best value is going to be different for everyone.
PS3 no games - ridiculous; Argument over who has the best killer titles, that's all a matter of opinion and will change from person to person. One thing that can be said is LIBRARY SIZE, this generation PS3 has the smallest library but its not lacking in quality. This matters when certain genre of games come into question and a gamer is trying to pick a console based on where the most games of the genre they might play are. PS3 has about 37 FPS, while 360 has 50 FPS (Not counting multi-platform titles). While PS3 still have more coming and KZ2 is hard to ignore but the fact 360 have more FPS.
There are a lot of things that go into buying a console and my point is it's different for everyone. Articles like this are just flame bate and are from poor journalistic standards. PS3 and 360 both have a lot going for them; features, games and price will appeal to each gamer for different reasons.

1.28 - No one cares about which console costs "more", they simply are buying the Xbox 360 -- and Xbox 360 titles -- in vastly greater numbers.
The heat issues were resolved almost 2 years ago. They simply Are. Not. An. Issue.
But, beyond that, I find it truely silly the PS3 owner arguing "HEY! xbox 360 costs as much!1!"
Ok. Assume that is "True" (it's ridiculous, but nevermind). Imagine for a second that this idea was "True".
BOTTOM LINE: SO. WHAT?
So, it's "True" -- but NO ONE IS BUYING the PS3 *anyway*. WHAT IS THE POINT?
No one cares about which console costs "more", they simply are buying the Xbox 360 -- and Xbox 360 titles -- in vastly greater numbers. Inspite of whatever argument is to be made about the "cost".

Lame, worthless, absolute garbage article. How is this even a legitimate comparison? All this article is, is just a fanboys made up excuse to cause a flame war. According to this guys logic, the $4 burger at McDonalds is going to cost me more than the $7 organic sub sandwich, because if I eat the burger Im going to have to pay for toilet paper for when I crap it out, cholesterol medication for when my arteries clog, and new clothes for when I get fatter.

1.30 - @ cherrypie. Really?
cherrypie said "No one cares about which console costs "more", they simply are buying the Xbox 360 in vastly greater numbers."
Is that so? Funny, because the last I checked the PS3 is selling millions more than the 360 did, idicating that consumers are buying vastly greater numbers of PS3's.
Based on Microsoft and Sony's official numbers the PS3 is just shy of 23 million consoles currently. At the 2 1/2 year mark the 360 had only sold 19 million. The facts don't really support your claim. Consumers have decided.
Oh, wait. I know what you were doing. You were just focusing on PS3 sales from the last couple of months and thinking that somehow told the entire story. If you truly are that short sighted, you must have been wringing your hands with worry when the 360 was behind the PS3 by over a million consoles six months into last year.

That's VERY true, I know a couple of people who NEVER go on live, have arcade models and are fine with simply buying HD games to play at home solo or with friends or family.
You don't need a HDD
You don't need Wifi
You don't need to play online.
It's literally built for and marketed to the "casual gamers"
Of course you won't find many arcade console owners in your 360 friends lists because of just that, they're casual and don't play online.

Of course you don't need any of those things, nor do you have to pay for XBL if you don't want to..but I think the point of the article was to compare the consoles if you want a similar experience and to do so means paying for XBL, adding wi-fi and a hard drive to your 360, etc.
Everyone knows the PS3 has more features built into the unit then the 360 does, but not everyone needs those features. I personally think the 360 is a great alternative for those that are just looking for a game machine and that's it and aren't interested in all the bells and whistles that come with a PS3.
Still, he loses me when he throws in the repair costs. The majority of 360 owners don't have a problem. This shouldn't be included.

People seem to forget that the roles were reversed last generation. Xbox included built-in memory (8gb) while PS2 owners had to buy a $50 memory card just to save games. Xbox had built in broadband, while PS2 owners had to buy a $40 adaptor. It didn't hurt the PS2's sales or reputation, just as the 360 is not suffering now.

Oh, because "chances are it wont happen"? Since when did a legitimate comparison ever use "chance" to dictate anything? Just what exactly is the % chance that something must happen before it factors into things? 10%? 20%? 30%? It's people like you that are giving this industry a bad name.

Actually they do in some cases. Mine broke down on me with standard overheating (2 red lights) so no 3 year-term. My 360 is 2.5 years old,
but it's gonna be fixed for free. So repair-cost in this comparison
showes he doesn't have experience with Xbox Support, he didn't even said that the repair cost of Ylod afer one year is more than that of the 360 after 3 years xD

360 is an overpriced piece of garbage. It might be great as a heater for the winter but that's all (unless you really like netflix and have no PC).
They also didn't event include the price of paying for batteries each time or having to play for a play & charge kit (which still takes longer to charge than the PS3 controllers).
The NetfliXbox 360 is a last gen console, no need to bother with that. Even the Wii is more of a next gen console than the 360. lol, disc trays.

And yet, the "overpriced piece of garbage" still manages to outsell the PS3 on a daily basis. What does that tell you?

Your insults lack intelligence as do the guys attacking you but they are funny so ill let them slide, but yours while still being slightly humorous seem childish as if your only 13 year olds and that you probably think sex is a new feature coming to the PS3.
But Hey! Im on N4G so it kinda makes sense.

I don't know if your new to this console war of just retarded. But if you look back to when the ps3 was outselling the 360. You would see that it was only outselling the 360 for 6 to 7 months out of that year. If you go back ferther you will see that the 360 was outselling the ps3 far longer without a price drop. If you really want to do some research you will see that the ps3 had two price drops in it's first year. Remember the ps3 cost $600 dollars now it's $400.
So that means that the ps3 dropped the price twice just to sell on par with the 360. As I said in another thread where I got a bunch of disagree from sonyfanboys but no one refrute my claim. That the ps3 couldn't outsell the gameboy advance. You can google this info and see that I was right.

"Xbox 360 Sees Record Growth in 2009"
http://finance.yahoo.com/ne...
Now this article mentions sales, but not profit, so financially they may be hurting. But is the Sony camp in any better of a boat? MS makes more of a profit per Xbox sold...does Sony? I don't think so. The 360 sells more games. For most developers, including Activision, it's more profitable to develop for the 360. So you tell me, which one is in better shape. If you say PS3, back it up, otherwise, you're just blowing smoke out your ass.

El Botto:
You speak so much BS about the 360 that makes you look like you know little to nothing about it. How is anyone supposed to put credit into your posts when you don't even give common sense to the Xbox 360?
I don't think anyone would be wise to listen to anything you say and certainly not listen to your uneducated arse when it comes to consoles.
In your attempts to bash the 360 you make yourself look stupid by constantly misquoting any facts about it.
Please stick to dry humping the PS3 it is what you do best.

I smell a PS3rd fanboy here:
First 3 years on the 360, repair = free
First year on the PS3, repair = free. After that they charge you 200 Euro overhere in Europe and you get back a refurbished PS3 from someone else.
Chances are none for a dying PS3rd? Don't think so. My BluRay died after just 3 weeks of use. Many people and well know forum members on N4G got YLOD. So thats 200 Euro after that first year, which is half of a new one. And with a new one with the right bundle you even get one or two games, so most optimal something like 100 to 120 Euro less paying for the hardware, makes it 280 to 300 for a new one or 200 Euro for a refurbished model with maybe older/hotter hardware. NICE!
Wireless adapter? Don't need. Cable = more stable and faster. I even put a cable on my PS3 if I get the chance. No wifi adapter bought.
And XBL costing some money... Its worth it period. PSN = like eating from the trashbin. Its free, but one doesn't enjoy as much as
XBL eating in a great restaurant, you actually enjoy your stay there!
So paying for repairs after just one year for the PS3, compared for repairs after 3 year on the 360. Your logic Mike is like the POS3. Donkey shiat.
EDIT
To the PS3 tard below:
go stick that PS3 dildo up yours! You'll like it, G@ystation 3 lover!!!

4.4 - But why....
wi-fi is the most convenient way when you have multiple connections in your house - a ethernet connection without a hub isn't going to get it done, i.e. my wii is in one room and my ps3 and two laptops in another. A 3 yr warranty was the answer for the millions of rrod - no confidence in their product and a answer to the millions of dissatisfied crapbox owners
. 1 yr warranty is for the confidence that sony has in its product. I have had my ps3 60gb since jan. 2007 - no issues! PSN vs. xbox live = PSN has less lag and is free, incl. HOME and has the best online games.
Bottom line the PS3 is the best value!

Dude, PSN certainly doesn't have less lag. Thats a straight lie. I have a really good connection overhere and LBP multiplayer and the characters jump all over the screen many times. Its sad.
Only a laptop needs WiFi because you move it, I still like my game consoles to be wired, they're allways in the same place. Specially because I stream HD movies to the PS3 from my Mac, which only really works in 720p/1080p on cable.
and no, 1 year isn't confident in your machine. the PS2 also had 1 year warranty. And then everyones PS2 had a dying DVD laser diode after just one year. It was just getting facked by Sony moahahah

MS have cheaper hardware that performs just as well, the only difference is a Blu-ray as both have their own exclusive too. Sony came late to a market that then went to a recession stage. Regardless this article is the stupidest one I have ever read, honestly, I have had more intelligent sh!tes on my toilet pot that the author of this. Anyone agrees with him and they must have a screw loose too... ha!

13 - ps3 is the best value
the problem is most people dont know that the 360 will cost you more in the long run what they see is the price tag that is up front. it look more inviting, but i dont expect the ps3 to show a price drop anytime soon sony will produce a slim b ut at the same price and make some money back before droping price. the price could be dropped around god of war 3 time.

you know without sony you wil have crap games right and that sony has the most and best games right so why are you wanting them to be gone. without sony you are forced to pay what m$ wants and the price of games will go from 60 to 100. think before you speak without competition then you are forced into the m$ monopoly, that's not good!!!
say sony doesn't come out with a new system and only make games they will make their cut off the games just like m$ and developers and everyone else. The games will literally cost 100 and probably more.
Some of you xbots are m$ d1ck riders and dont see the big picture also 360 fans have terrible taste in games.
xbots think that the xbo line up this year is actually good. wtf
modern warfare 2 is coming but im getting it on ps3 why because i have wi-fi and i can play anywhere without cords.
point is m$ is a doing a good job in the game industry, but they dont make consistent great games. they have alot of 2 week games ( games that after a week your like ehh)
im my eyes from what i have seen the 360 is holding this gen back. not that i want to see them gone either.The 360 has limitations and sony has been pointing them out alot recently

"360 fans have terrible taste in games" - What a retarded statement, coming from a huge retard.
Hey idiot, I don't want Sony to go out of business, for the record. I've said as much many times on this site. Competition is good. But even if I did, who cares. Many of you Sony idiots want MS to get out of the biz. Both companies have their place.
I actually like Sony. I think they're a great company. I simply prefer Xbox over anything else. With the games it offers, along with Netflix and other features on Live, I think it's better than the PS3. I know that's just an opinion. What I can't stand are Sony fanboys. Sony fanboys are the whiniest little b!tches I've ever seen.
And yes, I like seeing Xbox beat the PS3 in both hardware and software sales.

15 - the mart of xbox kings
the first three years of xbox 360 repairs arent free. Only the rrod problems are free. it cost me almost 300 in repairs in my first 3 years with insurance. i had the rrod twice and that is free. get your facts straight . the only reason why xbox has so many systems is cause people like me have had 14 of them. i hate m$ for their crap systems but i like the competition theu provide sony because without them sony would be the only hd system on the market.
since when where Americans better at making video games than Japanese.

The PS3 had a 1 Year warranty which was free because the chancec of your PS3's breaking more then twice were very very very veeeeeery slim, and now you get charged because it's a very expensive piece hardware to manufacture and they're not just going to keep up with the free repair crap. Sony's not some dumb company like MS charging you $300 for a console that should've retailed at $100 and the highest at $100.1 cent.
Mart you and your broken PS3 fit in to the minority but every 360 owner with a broken 360 fits in to the majority.
Please don't act like an ignorant child and try to understand things that are very easy to understand.
