The PS3 is a better system than the X-Box 360.

1) Of course I realize that the hard drive is issued, i have not stated that it is cured. I've only said that the amount of failures in comparison to the amount of systems is only 10%. Xbox expanded its one year warranty to three years to cover the Red Rings of Death failures. Though it is not a complete solution to the problem, it covers the time period that the Xbox's typically failed. In my final point, i'd like to point out the fact that my opponent did not try to defend the oversight of releasing glitched software, as opposed to glitched hardware. The PlayStation update should not have been released without further testing and the fact that such an error slipped through is simply wrong. 2) As i said in multiple rounds, the playstation's graphic quality is only greater when you put it onto an HD TV. My defense is that most americans don't own the new, more expensive televisions. This means that the largest part of the gaming market will not get to experience the PS3 at its "best". On the level that most americans will see the playstation 3 is one equal to the graphic level of the Xbox 360. So, in the end, the largest part of the market will not be able to tell the difference between the systems. 3) Xbox Live communtication is much easier for people in and out of games. The playstation communication is one where you must jump through many hoops to talk to fellow players. My opponent stated that the Xbox requires you to buy "extra gear" that adds to the expense of Xbox online. The truth is, the online membership comes with a free headset with every purchase of a 12 month membership. So the statement that a headset would add to the "online experience" is rediculous. The real truth is that the playstation three does not come with a headset in any way. To purchase the blue tooth that my oppenent is talking about would cost $49.99. The full online experience for PS3 would not exactly be free at that point. 5) The defonition of a monopoly is "A situation in which a single company owns all or nearly all of the market for a given type of product or service. " This is what my opponent is suggesting blue ray will become. Sadly for his point, specific departments are set up to prevent the formation of a monopoly in any kind. Again, the DVD will be around until the next, truly different, form of videos. My opponent said he hopes i don't talk about the 10% failure rate as being low or else i would face assault. When i look at the fact that 9 out of 10 Xbox users "suffer" from this "problem" i feel i could take the chance. Again, my opponent is trying to say that all of the Xbox market "suffers" from this issue, this is simply not true and i ask the voters to see reason. The price needs to be struck from the record and i shall prove so by dismissing my oppenents "cases. " A. A cord is included in the origional packaging, free of charge. B. The quality of the internet service is improved by a direct connection. This is an undeniable fact. This and the fact that the "average" american does not own wireless disproves your point. C. My opponent failed to say that he is assuming that the users house has a wireless hookup. D. Because that makes sense seeing as how i went 4 rounds with you? E. of course i can not deny the fact that there are 3 million defective units. Assuming that anyone could is rediculous. The only thing that i am trying to refute is my opponents oversight when he says that the entire 21 million console market is in the 3 million failed consoles. G. Vote Con! Thank you all for reading and voting on this debate.
