That $600 spent is really looking good.

That's pretty much the reasoning I used to choose systems as well except i just included the true gaming features to the 360 cost. So $400 for a premium, plus $250 for live (i'm planning on owning my system for 5 years at least) equals $650. For $50 less than that, I got an inferior online service (that is improving), but I got neat features like WiFi and Blu-Ray. On top of that, I have a standard high drive so if I feel the need to upgrade, I can choose the best deal on the market. At least to me, the PS3 makes the most financial sense.
