Well, since both sides love pulling in silly comparisons, let me pull them all together. This should end the cost arguments... :P (Prices in US$, all items bought from Amazon)
| PS3 | 360 | Wii | |
| System w/ HD or SD card | $400 | $300 | $335* |
| Wireless adaptor | $0 | $77 | $0 |
| Online play | $0 | $45/yr | $0 |
| Backward compatibility | $100 | $0 | $0 |
| Blu-ray player | $0 | $180 | $180 |
| Out-of-warranty repairs | $230 | $100 | $100 |
| Extra controller (all parts) | $43 | $40 | $74 |
| Speech attachment | $43 | $20 | $29 |
| Motion sensing/control | $32+** | n/a** | $0 |
| HDTV (40" 1080P) | $680 | $680 | $780*** |
| TOTAL | $1528 | $1442 | $1498 |
Right... so how can most people afford gaming, anyway? Maybe this is why sales for the "other" system are so bad , and why Wii is doomed?
*: 32 GB SD card included with price
**: PS3 Wand and 360 Natal prices not availiable, not yet released.
***: Upscaler purchased elsewhere (www.hdtvsupply.com), due to limited availiability
