CAN YOU PLAY A ****ING BLU-RAY MOVIE WITH A "graphics card with a less pixel ratio"!?
I love how people still think xBox is better. GTFO.
Lol, I am sorry and I don't mean to go ahead and affend the XBOX players and owners who like to brag about their investments so I mean no harm and by no means am I trying to start a flame war between the two systems which happens to fast but I am going to go on a bit of a rant real quick:
My thoughts about paying for XBL, it is simply a waste of time/money because it doesn't help your connection, your connection simply depends on where you live, who your providers is and how you are connected to your internet in your home. The graphics are no better and may not be worse either but I am not "person who compares things", lol, but all that matters is that when PS3 use to cost 700 USD(might have been less, I don't know for sure though sorry) it was not a rip off because by now some people who own an XBOX 360 might have paid an equivelent amount if not more than 500.00USD by buying the XBL service either monthly or yearly and that is why the PS3 use to cost so much money is because it they knew that XBL was charging people to play online so they took advantage of the situation.
Now-a-days the PlayStations 3 cost about 299.99 for 120 GB with free online capabilities(obviously.
Now-a-days the XBOX 360 cost about 199.99 for 60 G(I believe) with a yearly payment of 49.99 for a gold membership of XBL(online capabilities) or pay a monthly fee of 7.99 a month for a gold membership of XBL(equivelent to about 95.88 for online capabilities).
So you can buy a PS3 for 299.99 and be set for life(for online and such) or buy an XBOX 360 for 199.99(for an arcade at best which is equal to 60 GB, half the lowest GB PS3-100.00 for 60 GB roughly) and then pay 50.00 or 95.88 for a years worth of online gameplay(Which chances are, you will average about 1/4 or playing time in the year, not even unless you're crazy or if you play 6 hours a day everyday). So if you go with the 49.99 yearly payment, with-in two years you could own your very own PlayStation 3 and have free online capabilites

Thanks for reading and thank if you have either been proven wrong(lol jk) or just thought it was true but don't feel like you have to and let me know if you think I should edit this a bit and make it into it's very own thread

Thanks and please don't make this a flame war,
