Don't forget the wireless connection for the xbox 360. That'll range from 5-100 dollars (wired conection/ wireless). With that factored in, the xbox 360 and the ps3 are literally the same price. (300 + 100 = 400)


I love this argument, since the wireless "included" with my PS3 has never worked, and I have to plug in the console to connect to the internet.  I usually do the same with my 360 when I watch streaming movies, just to avoid hiccups, but otherwise at least that $100 adapter works.

That just means you're too passive.  Why were you afraid to take your PS3 back and say it didn't work?  I've never heard of anyone saying their wireless didn't work.  And if you got it used or second hand, its your own damn fault for not trying it first.

The reason this arguement fails (And the ONLY reason it fails) is because the 360 wireless adapter is optional.  You can't tack that price onto the package because 360 users don't NEED it.  They can still play on the internet without it.

When PS3 price drops, look for 360 to bundle a wireless adapter with their console.  You're out of your mind to buy one anyway, you can achieve the same results using a wireless access point at a much cheaper cost.  That's what a friend of mine is doing, and it works fine for him.
