They should do a $50 price cut+bundle a game. That equals to the value of a $300 premium 360... and even exceeds it, IMO.

Does $300 360 come with wireless built in, blu-ray and a lifetime subcription of online play? If not, definately exceeds it.

 

Really, I don't understand people that make this argument. It's entirely stupid. You've clearly never taken a marketing class or you would learned that you've got to listen to customers needs and wants and incorporate those into your produce to create value customers want in a product.

Who gives a damn if it comes in with a wireless built-in when wired is just as functional and doesn't require you to fork over the extra dollars even if you don't need wifi. Smart move would have been offering it on the side like MS did and market it to customers that actually value a wifi adapter. Same goes with your argument of blu-ray. Blu-ray is excellant, however, does the average person care about blu-ray? Nope, DVDs still rule the market. How many more would PS3 sell if it didn't have a blu-ray? Millions more. Smart thing = offering bluray as an addon.

The free online gaming is the one thing Sony did do right, that is something customers value. The problem is the console is so damn expensive because of these extra cool feature your trying to say make ps3 more value over the x360, that too many people can't afford the console to even experience the free online gaming.
