I knew the 20 gig pro was 299 but my local walmart is selling the 60 Gig along side the 20 for 299 also.I asked the clerk about it and it was true .So is this just an oversite on walmarts part or what? Has anyone else seen 299 60 gigs out there?

Sony needs to stop updating so much! I bought my PS3 last year and just like alot of you guys my warranty is now expired. Well my PS3 got bricked about 6 months ago by a PS3 firmware update. I lost all of my sweet guns i had unlocked for RFOM my game saves for Ratchet and Uncharted.Sony told me if i couldnt find my original receipt it would cost me 160 for a repair.This confused me because Microsoft uses my serial number to see if my warranty was valid when i had to turn in my 3 360's.Now that my PS3 warranty is expired now that 160 dollars doesn't look so good.

The fact that the PS3 has to rewrite their entire OS each time it updates is only asking for trouble. Everytime i turn on my PS3 or buy a new game I dont sign on to PSN because i know an update is just sitting there waiting for me xbox 360 updates only take about 20 seconds.For one thing i dont want to wait to play my Shiny new game like MGS4 or wondering will this update break my system.

 Sony really needs to find a way around this problem.Because i really got burned on the PS2 it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sony customer service had me absolutely furious when they would always try to charge me 90 or 120 bucks to fix my system. The faulty launch system i got and the 4 other faulty ones i would buy over the ps2 lifetime.After my 5 and final console burned up right in the middle of GTA San andreasi've had enough at that point. Ive got tired of having to open my PS2 and turning little wheels to make the console work or sneaking old consoles into walmart boxes and returning them for a new console. Because i refused to pay sony anymore money. At least microsoft took responsibility for their faulty product but i think sony is preparing to do it to me all again.The last firmware update caused problems with several peoples systems hopefully none of their systems got bricked like mine did but with theses constant updates and software not being sony's strong point it's only a matter of time. I think sony my have to offer a free extended warranty system as well when it comes to someone system being broken from firmware updates because it's beyond the consumers control.

Mirror's edge is seemingly following the example of Burnout  Paradise according to several magazines. If Multiplats start being ps3 lead because of the difficulty of developing for the PS3 will it cause a backlash in the xbox 360 community. Many would say the PS3 Burnout looked better because of the ps3 uncompressed textures. And while developing on the ps3 first saves developers the hassle of the extra development time of making the ps3 second. Could this be hurting the 360 version and cause 360 fans to sit these titles out.

Most xbox 1 fans will tell you the frustration about having to suffer inferior games because of the PS2 being the lead skew  eventhough the xbox was the superior hardware.It also raises the question whether developing on PS3 first prevents developers from using the lossless compression tech inside the 360. Microsoft has been dumbfounded why developers are having so many compression problems on the 360. it begs the question whether  they are not familiar with the tech and aren't utilizing it.

With 360 being the larger install base thus far it will be interesting to see whether 360 fan will tolerate being second banana in developers eyes this generation and will it hurt overall game sales. And since multiplat s overwhelming sell better on 360 will the developers pay the price in the end.

Im sorry but i was looking at my HDD space and im going to be out soon.  I bought a 60 at 600 bucks  and i only have 20 G left. When i checked my memory i noticed games like MGS 4 has 4.5 gigs installed, DMC 4 has 3.5, Unreal  has 3 gig, NGS has about 3 or 4 GIG's . All of my games are using anywhere from 1 to 5 Gigs of space. But its and average of 3 Gigs used. I'vereturned  Ratchet and  Uncharted so im not sure how  much they used but this cant go own. And yes i know i can get a bigger hard drive but that rounded PS3 top doesnt allow me to place something up there and then i have to find  a place to plug the thing up. I already have my 360 in there with my PS3  i dont have anymore room in that cabinet .The 360 and PS3 heats up the room enough. I think that's why the 360 will get away with not having a hard drive this generation. Because it will force the developer to use the hardware. Xbox does have the better streaming tech built in.

From team xbox

The name "embedded DRAM" is used because the memory is embedded directly onto a chip. The advantage of embedded RAM is that it offers a speed and bandwidth far superior to conventional out-of-the-chip memory. Think of it as comparing system memory (your computer RAM) with a microprocessor's cache memory.

that  256G/s Eram  in the 360 allows for great streaming . But the developer need too get off Epic's Unreal 3  dick because this middleware crap isn't the best way to utilized either console.
