That figure doesn't include: Hahaha, ok let's take these one by one. - OS OS cost was $0, as I already own a copy. Microsoft allows several XP/Vista activations from one key if you use phone activation. Unless you're all posting from Ubuntu, I'm guessing you have an OS already as well :) And what if they don't? $100
- Monitor hahaha, if I include monitor, then you should include a 32" plasma with the 360. Hey, why not include a sofa while you're at it, and the cheetohs? Very few people don't have a TV. You don't need a 32" Plasma to play 360. - Mouse Logitech RX250, $8. Sure a better mouse costs more, but so does a dualshock. An $8 mouse won't provide a better experience than a console. But we'll stick with $8 for the addition. - Keyboard Microsoft Digital Media Pro Keyboard, $10. - Speakers Does PS3 come with 5.1 surround sound system? Didn't think so. - Wireless chip Here in the PC world we call them "wireless cards" and they're integrated on most motherboards these days. I don't think wireless is necessary, so I'm with you on this one. Though I don't think that cheap motherboard has Wifi, just regular old wires.
And a Ps3 has some cool features like a BluRay drive that costs 200$ alone Blu-Ray drive for PC is actually $120. To get that without changing the price too much, we can swap out the current 640G hard drive, and switch to a more PS3-like 40G hard drive, and ditch the current optical storage for the BRD.

140+Shipping.
520+8+10+140-25= A lot more than a console.
PC's cost more, it's okay. This argument is like saying a Lexus costs less than a Bicycle.
I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
