Can I play online?
Yes; for 50.00 extra, but not wirelessly; that will cost you an extra 100.00 (total 699.00 - 749.00)

Why isn't anyone demanding they do the same over here?

Sony claims Xbox 360 requires HD DVD, etc., thus costs $700
Oct 19th 2006 10:34PM (Engadget)Sony is entering at the right time; alot of people purchased HDTV's and are ready for next gen gaming and movies. The PS2 was a good move at the time (dvd movie playback)
Get used to it; history tends to repeat itself.
Sony will be a success and Nintendo is about to rock the house in the face of more powerful systems; Nintendo held it down with the SNES in the face of Sega and Sony's Ps one; once Sony flossed the 3d capability of the ps one they pulled ahead.
Nintendo has re-grouped, Sega folded and Microsoft took Sega's place.
The 360 might just go down like the dreamcast folks!

Oct 19th 2006 10:01PM (Engadget)Choice - 299.00 system plus a 200.00 HD-DVD drive brings you to 499.00 and still there is no Hard Drive and no xbox 1 playback capability. Sooooooo.............
Choice - 399.00 pro system (requires wired connection to get online) plus 200.00 HD-DVD drive brings you to 599.00 which leaves you with no wireless capability AND is the price of the STOCK PS3; wireless included and 3x the hard drive memory (60GB)
Choice - 299.00 360 core system = Useless ( you still need the 40.00 proprietary memory card to play online) that's 340.00; 440.00 if you want wireless capability and 540.00 if you want to add a 20 gig hard drive. This is 40.00 more than the PS3 core unit and only 60.00 less than the stock PS3 unit. Add another 200 for HD-DVD and that brings you to 740!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Point Anthony!!!!!!
The Truth:
Choice - 399.00 360 pro system; + 200.00 (599.00)
Still No HDMI; 3x less HD space and you still are in NEED of a 100.00 choice to play your games wirelessly now bringing the price of the 360 to 699.00
Choice?!?!?!!??!!?!?!?!??!?
