what kind of serious gamer would even want their gaming machine on Wi-Fi, I prefer wired connections for my videogame needs.
I'll give you a good reason
If you are wanting an offline videogame experience or one without HDTV the $199 Arcade model of the 360 wins hands down.
If you are a Movie Buff who also likes to play some games and want to test out the limits of that new HDTV the $399 PS3 wins hands down.
If you are wanting a more kid friendly experience the Wii is the true winner.
If you only care about HD and online gaming its virtually a tie. $299 xbox 360 vs $399 PS3.
things to think about are: Do you want a better online experience or a free online experience. Xbox 360 is Backward compatible with a hard drive, PS3 is no longer backward compatible unless you buy an older used system. 360 has a larger library (MS only has to support one platform). PS3 has more exclusive older franchise titles like MGS, Gran Turismo, God Of War) meanwhile 360 has exclusives like Halo 3 and Gears of War
