You N-boys completely BUTTFUCKED his post... adding stupid stuff like electricity bills and what not... Point is, you can't compare TCOs without comparing the consoles themselves. With a PS3 you own EVERYTHING (The PS3 gives you more so I dub it as "EVERYTHING"). with the 360 you must pay a whole lot more to own the same thing. See? And with the Wii?? You could never own everything since it wasn't designed to. Built in Wi-Fi in the 360? no. HDD for every SKU? no. And that is a negative for developers since because of that they can't fully utilize the HDD. Next-gen HD format?? NO. The elite has HDMI output and a HDMI cable included.. big fucking deal. I can buy a good one for 7 dollars.
