"Our philosophy this generation was to not make people pay for things that they weren't going to use."

Before I get flamed....Thanks MS RRoD was a lot fun!

But he is completely right!!

Is pumpkin-head talking about Blu-Ray, the web-browser, and Wi-Fi? If the Slim and old PS3 fats are now the same cost as an 360 Elite then your not paying more, your paying the same and getting more. And then there's the ridiclulous cost of the MS proprietery hard-drives and wi-fi adapters one could "choose" to buy, just to bring the 360 more up to spec. Only without Blu-Ray, a web browser and a $50 a year P2P service. All in one console that will fail you repeatedly.

ok first of all...I don't use Wifi....so -1 to the PS3 value...I don't buy Blu-ray movies so -2 to the ps3 value..I have a PC...so -3 to the ps3 value...It's only my opinion...But seems like Xbox 360 got it right for me...

Fair enough, I suppose. But the way one consumer uses a console is does not change it's feature-sets. The PS3 still gives you way more for the same cost. Say we both went to the grocery store, (and I'm using extreme examples to drive the puint home), one in a loaded BMW, one in a second-hand Yugo, same route, same distance, same amount of groceries. Same overall task. Is the Yugo as good of a car because the BMW driver didn't use all the features the car has? NO.
