Plus you kinda made it sound like you HAVE to get a HDD, wifi-adapter and live...if you don't want/need these than you can get a system that plays 90% of the PS3's games at half price - some of the games will even look and run better on the 360...but again anyone reading this already knows this. |
Exactly. A gamer wouldn't want wifi in most cases. Wifi is slower than wired (802.11g vs 100mbit, anything vs gigabit), it is less reliable than wired. It is higher latency than wired due not just to the fact that hardware demudulation of RF is slower than copper, but also due to the fact that the protocol itself has RTS-CTS inefficiencies inherant in sharing a medium.
The only thing Wifi does better than wired is that it is easier to use in some areas than cables. But in every other way, it is vastly inferior. For some people it works good enough and that's fine, but it isn't as good as a wired connection.
Unless you have no choice, you use wired. It isn't like you are going to be carrying your console around while you're gaming on it.
