| Squilliam said: On overpriced accessories. PS2 Memory Card: $25 -8mb flash (Essential!) 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. Official HDMI cables - $70 Official Component cables $25 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.
Component cables included in the 60 gb

This is a nice list but most people dont buy the 70 dollar hdmi cables. People may be stupid but not that stupid. Also the ps3 is meant for the upper-class people, people who have money as it is priced 400. The xbox 360 is now priced 199, which is mass market. So after the person buys the 360, they have an option for a hard drive if they choose. When they hook it up to their tv, they get stunned by the visuals of halo 3 and gears of war. After telling their friends that they bought an 360, their friends say get xbox live, so he or she does. Now after they get xbox live they figure out that their 360 is not wireless, so they have to hook it to their router or buy the adapter for $70. After all of this they have to pay 199 + 100(optional) + 50(optional) + 70(optional) so they have to pay 199-419. or they could just get a ps3 with uncharted and ratchet for 400 +10 to 70(optional).
xbox 199-419.
ps3 400-470.
Also when you buy an hd tv, do you get and hdmi cable NO. So it isnt sony's fault to not including it.
