Which is the better deal: Xbox 360 Kinect Bundle or PS3 Infamous 2 Bundle?

Oct 28, 2011 4:38 PM

I have an opportunity to get a pretty good deal on a game system - which one sounds better? A 4GB Xbox 360 with Kinect bundle for $179, or a 320GB Infamous 2 PS3 bundle for $179. Both are brand new.

Personally, I'd go with the PS3 because it has a larger hard drive and I'm too lazy to jump around using a Kinect.

The MSRP of both is $300, so they're obviously "equal" on those terms. However, I'd say the PS3 deal is marginally better deal simply because I've seen more deals for the X-Box bundle than the PS3 bundle, so it's easier to get below MSRP already.

As for which one you should get, that's a whole different issue. Here are couple questions to ask yourself:

- Do you have a legitimate interest in the Kinect? There's only like 3 worthwhile games that use it, and if you have no interest in those 3 games, it'll just sit and gather dust.
- Are there exclusives for X-Box or PS3 that you particularly want? In my experience in dual platform games the X-Box version usually looks slightly better, but the difference is pretty marginal and meaningless. Exclusives should play a much bigger role in the decision.
- Do you plan on downloading lots of games? If so, the PS3 might make more sense since it has a larger HD.
- Is online play important? X-Box has a better setup, but also requires subscription.

Do you already have a Bluray player? That would be something I'd take into consideration as well.

@novastarj has made some great points as the deals stands I would have to say that the PS3 is a better deal. The only way at these prices I would get an XBOX would be:
1) If there was a Xbox only titles I was interested in
2) I could find a HD and still keep the price lower then the PS3 (u will need more space with out a doubt)
3) Wanted the Kinect

PS: I own an Xbox so I am not a PS3 fanboy just trying to help out a fellow wooter

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
