$299 PS3 Versus $199 X360. That is the bottom line.
There is now only a $100 difference in price instead of there being a $200 difference in price.

Its not really fair to make it so simplistic. The PS3 is leagues above the arcade in value.

Funny how the arcade will never be able to play any XBL games, nor watch Netfllix movies coz guess what it doesn't have a hard disk.

Apart from this it doesn't have the other stuff that even the elite lacks: blu-ray drive, free online, wifi

Granted a lot of people still will be swayed by the $200 price tag. But really I can guarantee that they will be paying more in the long run.

totaly agree with you on this... The arcade is not in the same league ! The ps3 is above in value...

Nobody denies that.

It is just that people don't necessarly want to directlty spend 300 € (Even with all the features associated to it).

It is like in the last gen... PS2 attracted more people.. even with less features...

What do you mean less features? I agree if it's a PS2 vs Xbox, but compared to Gamecube I don't really see how. And while PS2 did have less features than the Xbox, it still had the option to have an HDD, it still had online, etc.
