Over remaining 5 days we will be giving you 5 more reasons why we think you should invest in a Playstation 3. (At some point or another, though we’re all getting it on launch, right?) These will just be 5 of 7 reasons in no specific order, just 5 basic reasons why we see the Playstation 3 as lick-able.

Everything comes in the box (Value for money, seriously)

Okay, so we all know about the £425 price tag, but why £425? Is Sony just money grabbing because they’re greedy? No. Theyre making a loss even with the £425 price tag, so feel lucky that they aren’t. The reason for the price is that everything comes in the box. In the standard £425 box you get; The wires and stuff, obviously, your Playstation 3 console, with a 60GB hard drive, with a wireless Bluetooth SIXAXIS contoller and with built in Wi-Fi (No paid membership required — not extra costs unlike Xbox 360 member ship which is annual and you have to buy points, as with the Wii.) So, in comparison to the Xbox 360, lets see how the numbers shape up.

So, looking at the table you can see that to even out the accessories for the PS3 and the Xbox 360, you pay over £100 more for the Xbox 360. I’m not saying its not worth it, but what I am saying is dont judge a console by the cost, because with the PS3’s hefty £425 you’re getting a bargain. Not to mention the 360 only offers a 20GB HDD when you get a 60GB HDD with PS3 as standard. (the UK arent getting the 20GB model yet, but even so its still less!) Free internet browsing, free online and now free Playstation home, you cant go wrong.
