I always encourage my customers to buy a PS3. Spend $399 or $499 now instead of spending $349 and then coming back two days later to drop another $210 on battery pack, battery charger, WiFi, Live Membership. PS3 has it all in the box plus the ability to play movies in HD. Plus after spending all that, their DVD equiped XBox 360 will be obsolete in 14-18 months. A PS3 is "guarnteed" for the next 7-8 years.

I always used to ask my customers how they intend to use things rather than assuming they need Wifi, HD playback, battery chargers, Live membership.

If you were my employee I would fire you.

 

 

 Well I do think I was too clear on my steps on making a sale.  Well the battery pack and charger cables are a must/given.  $50 here in Canada.  So instead of buying a 60GB 360 with charger for $349 I informed them that for $50 more than can get HD movies, WiFi, online membership, and 20 extra GB, plus a control that has Sixaxis with rumble.  Another thing that $50 will get them in an 7-8 years of entertainment.  Plus a hell of lot less worrying about your system breaking down and chew up your games.  On top of that I don't want them to but upset in a year when their DVD enabled investment is obsolete because the manufacturer was pushing HD games on DVDs.

Funny... The Wii gets along fine with just AA batteries. Furtermore - who doesn't own a battery charger these days? Especially if they have kids and the kids need batteries for all their toys.
