On overpriced accessories.

PS2

Memory Card: $25 -8mb flash (Essential!) (Considering flash memory was expensive at the time, this is reasonable)

Not included with system

Typical Flash prices - $5 on Newegg GB+

PS3

DS3 $55 - The price of a game to get functionality that should have been in the box on day 1. (DS3s come with PS3s now....and how much do extra 360 controllers cost? $50? Oh wow....$5, at least online is free...nothing to rebut that, huh?)

Official HDMI cables - $70 (Every "official" HDMI cable from big companies are expensive...but....

 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879261116 ....... that bundle is only $50. And if you check Amazon, there are PLENTY of Sony HDMIs for under $30)

Official Component cables $25 (Last time I checked, it was $16.99 at Best Buy...better than the $35 you have to pay for 360s)

No HD cables included in the box. So some people are going to buy the RipOff versions. This is for a system thats meant to be an HD player as well!

HDD for the 20/40gb models $80 for a 160gb HDD *Required for anyone who intends to have a large game collection/use the download and movies features* 20/40gb are far too small. Say hello to multiple 5gb installs.

Xbox 360 HDD

60gb Arcade to Premium upgrade pack. $99 <--- Fair price considering it gives you everything in the 60gb SKU barring the HD cables.

120gb - Expensive but its about as bad as a $25 memory card not included in a box. It would have been the same price of the PS3 version had they gone down the same route. (Nope, because they only aloow proprietary HDDs)

Component cables included in the 60 gb
