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)

The Problem is that a wireless connection is not always nessessary. There are some who will use it, and some who will not. Some people do enjoy the convience and lack-of-wires approuch of the wireless connection for the 360. I myself just took a drill to my wall and fed the cable though the wall and into my modem.

You might as well factor in a blu-ray player for the Wii and 360 if your going by that logic. We're not trying to deduce how much it would cost to get a equilivant gaming experience out of the 3 systems. Rather we've deduced that gaming is freakishly more expensive than one would imagine with the price tags bopping around.

Not quite. Considering Squillaim added figures for cables (which are optional) and xbox live (which too is an optional service), I believe it's well within the boundaries of consideration. A means of connecting to the internet is not needed - of course, but those who want to play online and put their xbox live service to use have to either buy a cable or wifi. I, for one, didn't know about this price tag when i bought my 630- this tacked on a 20% price increase i was not initially expecting
