Comments on: Next-gen gaming consoles go mano-a-mano

How do the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii compare? We put all three to the test.

You have influence!!

Hmm ok! Nice disclaimer, but i really don't trust Cnet reviews anymore, i just watch the videos to see new gadgets "live".

Well, the damage has been done already and you probably don't really give a damn about it anyways.

Note! The 360 can use a usb hub and thus any memory storage device can be attached to it. So in terms of memory expansion options against the PS3s built in slots, its equal. Game save onto memory card can be enabled via software upgrade if needed.

Next Gen dvd format wars aside, both system are on par with each other. The only thing stopping me from a PS3 is the price, and i really rather build my own quad core pc for that amount (which i am planning to do).

The Wii will keep my 360 company for now and later in the year so will the PS3.

I know Playstation is brand name that everyone and their granny know so well, but try not to jump so quickly to that bandwagon.

thanks for not trusting us

You're absolutely right on the 360 having the potential to read attached USB drives and flash media readers. It also does a great job of streaming media from networked PCs. And, indeed, you can add an HD-DVD drive to the 360 as well. But doing so adds significant cost--equal to the PS3--and a rat's nest of wires and cables. I don't think pointing that out and rating accordingly amounts to "jumping on the bandwagon"--especially when the review specifically states that the PS3 games, to date, don't represent any real improvement over their 360 counterparts.
