| The said: ^I never intended to say features are all that matter, so I don't see anything wrong in my reasoning, since the price has been proven to be very relevant in the HD console war. I wouldn't go into analyzing game libraries, and gamer's taste, or any other advantages or disadvantages. I went to the bottom line: which one gives me more for my hard-earned money? You may argue many people just appreciate their "cross game chatting" that much, or they'd rather have the same system as their friends Jimmy and Timmy. You must remember new consumers don't value these things as much as the experienced owners, 'cause they just never owned the console before, so they wouldn't know what works best between Live or PSN besides what they heard from word of mouth, but the bottom line is they have to PAY EXTRA (for Live Gold and all it brings). I'm well aware of the intagibles, but the tangibles are what anyone can see, and they weigh quite much in this comparison.

You want to know he tangibles for a person who is jumping into the HD console market... 200 buck vs 300 bucks... that's the tangible. They are not looking for a BR player... they can go and get one for way cheaper than the PS3 if that's what they want... they want a gaming console and the 360 gives them almost every game the PS3 has and is a hundred dollar less... and maybe later he'll pick up a 120 gig HDD or a wifi adapter if he needs them, but the initial price is always going to be the most important tangible aspect of any purchase from poeple who are not gamers like us
