This is not one of the XBOX 360 vs PS3 topic. Both XBOX 360 Elite & PS3 Slim 120GB retails for almost 19K INR. They seems to be almost equals, as most people compare the hard disk capacity only. Since both have 120GB HDD's most people think they are almost equals. But are they really equals?? Read on if you want to find out..
1) A wireless adapter: Not any version XBOX 360 (not even the highe end Elite version) comes with a builtin WiFi. So a Microsoft XBOX 360 Wireless Networking Adapter is required which will cost some 5K INR. Its a real pity that Microsoft haven't bundled something as basic as WiFi. PS3 & Wii have it inbuilt, even the little PSP has it inbuilt!!!
2) The controller does not come with a rechargeable battery. If you don't want to buy a lot of disposable batteries (& of course pay a lot for them), a Xbox 360 Play & Charge Kit which cost around 1.2K INR. The PS3 don't need this as a rechargeable battery is builtin the controller!!
(Of course there are a lot of other features missing in the 360 like the BlueRay drive & so, but those can't be added to the 360. So excluding them out of the comparison)
So if you want the XBOX 360 to have all the features (atleast some) to match the PS3, you will have to shell out 6K INR more, so the total price becomes 25K!!.. Plus you'll have to shell out some 3.2K INR per year if you want to play online, whereas PSN is completly free.. One more thing the PS3 hardware is far superior to the XBOX hardware in terms reliability, build quality & performance.
So is the 360 Elite & PS3 Slim 120GB still seems to be equals to you?? Everyone making a buying decision between the XBOX 360 Elite & PS3 Slim 120GB, don't be fooled by equal price of both. Consider the above facts while making a decision.
For all those who think why iam i slamming the 360 in all my posts & iam a PS3 fanboy.. I own both the consoles.. But all those i've posted are facts & are completely true.. Iam not a fanboy of any console..
