Look closely at the picture. 360 on the right, and *Dell box* on the left. Something interesting is coming.

all you idiot xbox fanboys fell to realize that MS charges $400 for the 360, $100 for the wifi adaptor and will be a minimum of $100 for hddvd drive...all this equals $600 and you're still short 40gb of storage and you're paying to play on xbox live, something that you can do for free on the ps3. you've gotta look into the price, dont just take it at first glance and be in shock, because every single person that has the xbox 360 premium system with wifi is paying this much and not gettin anywhere near what you get with the ps3

------------------------------------------
A. It is safe to assume that MS will drop the price on 360 before PS3 releases, so the apples-to-apples comparison will not be accurate at release.
B. MS may well up the HD size by PS3 RTM.
C. I will have been using my 360 for a year when the PS3 releases. If I have paid the same total sum (ignoring my above points on price), I am still ahead as I have gotten an extra year of use.
D. Since 360 replaces the xbox (at least for me it did), and since I already had a wireless adapter for my xbox, that meant there was not really any cost for wifi. I imagine this is true for most people using xbox. However, since PS2 was barely networked, and thus people did not have adapters, it is a bigger issue for PS3 buyers.
