Microsoft is offering a $50 mail-in rebate on all Xbox 360 Elite purchases starting today (September 22) and ending October 5, making the previously $400 console SKU a mere $249. The offer is valid only in the US, but purchasers can certainly use that cash-back toward component cables, a Wi-Fi adapter, HD transfer cord, HDMI cable or ... any one of the many missing peripherals that brings "flexibility to consumers."

This deal is awesome. It's true though that these new 360 and PS3Slim SKUs should be coming with at least some HD component on amazon for 3 bux (with s/h!). That's how much I paid for my PS3 HDMI chord and it works perfectly. Admittedly, 360s should come WiFi ready right out the box but there are advantages and disadvantages to both systems. I still like my 360 better, mostly b/c I've grown fond of the interface, exclusive demos, and the fact that games are made for 360 first then ported to PS3 for the most part.

to be fair, I do vaguely recall Joystiq pointing out the lack of HD cableness on the PS3Slimothy

I had no intentions of buying a 360 soon...however if I had the cash this would be extremely tempting. I might have to eventually get a 360 (not bashing it) if I'm going to be doing more work on XNA.
My biggest concern is RROD-aphobia.

I love my PS3 but it didnt come with Componet cables, Or a HDMI cable... I wish every PS3 post started on the same note as every 360 story.
