Playstation 3 vs Xbox 360
Friday, December 29th, 2006Everyone’s been talking about the Playstation 3, so like a good little lemming I decided that I had to have one, too. I didn’t really think I was going to be able to get one since the news had been talking about how difficult it was to get due to a supply shortage.
I went to a few different stores, not really expecting to be able to get it, but as luck would have it the Walmart in Milford, PA had just gotten a PS3 shipment minutes before I graced that store with my presence. Giddy with excitement, I brought it home only to be confronted with the reality that there really aren’t any good games out for the PS3 yet.
Basically I spent $600 for a box that was just going to stand around and collect dust until they finally release something worth playing. Bummer.
All the games that looked like fun were for the Xbox 360. Crap. So, what do you do? Well, I don’t know what YOU would do, but I grabbed all my old consoles (2 original Xbox, a Dreamcast and Playstation 2) and brought it to Hollywood Video. They sell and trade in video games, and they just happen to have a special promotion where they give you twice as much for an old console trade-in if you buy the Xbox 360.
Once they rang up my old consoles and the bag full of games I brought, I basically got the Xbox 360 for free. Suu-wweet!
I’ve been playing Tomb Raider Legends, Lord of the Rings - Battle for Middle Earth II and FIFA Soccer on the Xbox 360 for the past few days. I haven’t even touched the Playstation 3. I hope they’ll come out with some good PS3 games soon.
