It's still a nice extra feature, but with the 360 still starting at $100 cheaper than the PS3 slim, it becomes all about the games, and right now 360 has the edge in that department. ... |
Weird logic. It costs more than cheap BD players, thus it won't sell to who wants a BD player, and it costs more than an Arcade thus it won't sell to who wants a console? What about the fact that it combines the two?
You can buy a 360 Arcade or with $100 more you can buy a PS3 that also has wifi, free online, 120GB HDD and plays BD. Let's say that your average customer doesn't care much about the cost of Live Gold, and only is interested in the wireless in a minority of the cases. Still, how many hard disks and BR players are you going to buy with the $100 difference?
