History of Xbox 360 Price Cuts (USA) * November 22, 2005 My original point was that the comparison started with $250 Wii to a $199 360. Comparison should have been to this $400.00 360 if to compare at all. Secondly, I noted my mistake about the wireless controller. Third, I don't know anyone excited about an ethernet port on their console anymore with the advancements of WiFi. Again, I was mistaken to think the Pro 360 had such hi tech stuff like WiFi with wireless controllers and BIG HD AND HDDs with larger HDDDs too. Sounds more like you are grabbing at recent posts and missing the OP altogether. Nintendo opened at $250. They are still $250. 360 didn't receive price drop to win over friends. It was being outsold. The business is to make money. Nintendo did that with practical offering and an acceptable price. They were more focused about low price and profit at the same time. Your thinking that people should make equipment for you for no profit is just dumb and needs no further attention. That MS, NOT 360, charges for so many individual items is the point in the beginning. But if you are happy spending real money for a new T-shirt for your avatar and buying extra items for games you've already paid for, and paying to play online when other consoles offer the same for free then that's your choosing. I'm happy with the online offering I use now and it's enough for me. PS3 offers free online and that's great for them. If you are happy with your online options, then congrats. But not everyone is.

lol, ok, lets read the last line of my statement again shall we.
"I'm not saying one is better than the other, I just think you need to know what you are talking about before you can have an opinion. "
honestly, I think all the consoles are worth their prices because they are all great. I'm not here to tout one console over another. The wii is a great console with a unique control scheme and awesome games. Their online functionality is a joke, but thats fine. The psn is a great online system and it being free is awesome. Xbox live is worth every cent because with it you get access not just to playing against people online with the best online system out there, but you also get netflix, 1 vs 100, early access to demo's and a heck of a lot more.
My point, is if you don't know what you are talking about then how can you have an opinion? How do you know xbox live isn't a good deal if you haven't experienced it? It's like my nephew who said he didn't like watermelon and refused to even try it for years until one day he actually tried and now he loves the stuff.
All your misinformation about the xbox just serves to tell me you don't know what you are talking about. So if you don't know what you are talking about... how can you have an opinion on it?
