Have you heard of Metcalfe’s law? It states that the value of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system. In other words, the value of a network is dependent on the users who use it.
Most of my friends own an Xbox 360 and play together on-line. I was able to talk to them about games (pub night is Monday), but not experience them together. I offered to give some of them $100 to purchase a PS3 – but in the end, I was the one to buy the other system.
“One Xbox 360 please.”
“Oh, you want true HD with HDMI output, then you need the Elite.”
“I would also like a wireless connection to XBoxLive.”
“Then you need this wireless attachment and XBoxLive subscription.”
Xbox360............$400
Wireless Adapter...$100
1 Year XBoxLive....$ 50
Total..............$550
I bought my PS3 with ALL the above the less than $400. Now, which is the cheaper system? But I did get two good games. Halo 3 (my dad and brother-in-law play this) and Fable2 (my friends have finished this). For my birthday, I got COD:WaW.
I'll let you know if Metcalfe was right.
