Isn't the 360 more expensive than the PS3?

May be...

Here are some fees (mostly hidden) for the 360:

$200 for Arcade model (which is the model people refer to when they say the inexpensive model)

$100 for Wifi Adaptor

$100 for 60GB HDD

$40 for 1 year XBox Live

$10 HDMI Cable

Total $450



Here is what a PS3 costs:

$400 for 80GB PS3

$0 for Wifi (included)

$0 for HDD (80GB included)

$0 for PSN (included, free forever)

$10 HDMI cable

Total: $410



P.S. And that is just the basic price comparison. That doesn't include the fact that the PS3 has a Blu-ray player included, and the fact that the PS3 failure rate is less than .5% (where as the 360's is about 30%). What's even better is that most developers say they've almost reached the limit with what the 360 can do (that's why new model is on the way), whereas they haven't even gotten close to the potential the PS3 has.

OMG you are god.

though the hdmi cable was quite expensive but luckily before circuit city went out of business i bought a 52'' lcd tv and they gave me 2 free monster cable cuz they couldnt get rid of them. XD

Actually since you get the blu ray, you can also look as a console for 150-200, and the blu ray which stand alone run about 200-250 for a decent one. At this rate comparion, why not just go for the 160G ps3? And you can find any model with some decent bundled games, like on Wal-Mart.com.



This comparison makes me sad, I should have bought the 160G!

Yes, but people don't see that.



They just like see the commercial or go to the store and see the price tag which like $199 or something. Then they compared to other consoles and but they don't really see the overall amount of the console.

Keep in mind if you're willing to pay for quality. On average, 360 has more quality games, better online service, and more comfortable controllers. Also xbox has a vast majority of downloadable content available such as games, movies, and DLC.

From the looks of this it does look like that is true. But having to pay for Live gives Microsoft money to pay for exclusive content that gives people a reason to want Xbox. Maybe....

Don't forget the costs of AA batteries for the 360 if you don't have the rechargeable pack or wired controllers.

I think you answered your own question lol, but it is true the xbox is more expensive. Everybody go with SONY!!!!
