    PS3 VS. 360 - The Beer Difference

    To commemorate the launch of the PlayStation 3, the folks at Computer and Video Games (CVG) received the gift of beer. 146 worth of Foster's to be exact, which is the difference between the cost of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in the UK. The present came from Microsoft of course, with the following message attached:

    "What would you purchase for 146...? (The price difference between an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3)", asks the included Xbox 360-headed notice. "Well, for a start we thought you might like 146 worth of beer to kick start your weekend early."

    I feel the need to put this in perspective. While that seems like a lot of beer here in the states, in Australia, home of Luke Plunkett and Foster's, what you see here is referred to as 'a good start.' If only Nintendo had gotten in on some of this action. Michael Fahey
