It really can't be argued that the Elite is a better out of the box value than a PS3.

PlayStation 3 Slim
1. Blu-ray Player
2. Wireless Wi-Fi
3. Free Online
4. Rechargeable Controllers
5. Internet Browser

Xbox 360 Elite
1. +1 USB 2.0 Port

 

It can argued pretty easy. It always depends on concrete person. For example, I could say:

 

1) I´m not big fan of movies. Last year, I had seen about three movies on DVD. Buying Blu.Ray for three movies... I don´t think so. More, all movies weren´t "big", and there isn´t Blu-Ray version anyway. So, apart of games, no need for Blu-Ray for me.

2) I´m using wired connection for everything. PC, Xbox 360, and if I buy PS3 (which I surely do), it will not be different. So, no need fo wi-fi.

3) I was always be single-player, multi games aren´t my cup of tea. So, I have Silver Account, which is free.

4) I already have millons of rechargeable batteries for another electronic, that I can use in Xbox 360 controller. No need to buy something extra for this.

5) I have PC, lot of Browsers there.

Priceless and totally ridiculous...do you work for Best Buy or something with all the rechargeable batteries, and come on who in this day and age uses a wired connection for the internet unless you are worried about the effects of Wifi?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion of what is better, but over the whole, you are getting a whole lot more for $299 with the PS3 than the 360.
