Its called looking at every aspect of a purchase. And I sincerely hope you don't consider a Live subscription a peripheral. Calling someone a fanboy because they are not suggesting the console you currently own is being a fanboy.

Alright lets look at the peripherals you will need:
$50 Gold Subscription- if you want to play games, everything else is accessible with a silver account
headset comes with the system
hdmi comes with the system
$20 play and charge kit- unnecessary peripheral. Battery chargers with 4 AA batteries are sold for $10, I bought mine from Sam's Club.
$100 Wireless- This is a very overpriced accessory however it is not necessary. The overlay of your house is unfortunate but for the majority of people its very easy to by a RJ-45 coupler for $1 to extend their cable length and run a wire from their router to their console securing it against the wall if necessary.
If you ask me having to pay $20 for a decent hdmi cable and $100 for an extra 40 gb of space and to have backward compatability, something that should come with the console for no extra cost is the rip off.
