PS3 at $299 is a better value than a $299 Elite

That doesn't even make sense ... the whole thing was a joke to begin with anyway, and now it's just gotten stupid. 

Really it might be
360:  300 + 100 (wifi) + 50 (Live)
PS3:  300

or
360:  300 + 50 (Live)
PS3:  300 + 40 (Playon*)

or
360:  200
PS3:  300

etc. 

I think the thing to notice here is that the PS3 is a lot more stable in its price structure -- that is, you can add functionality you didn't originally want/need for basically nothing because it's already in the box, whereas (for the 360) if you bought an Arcade you'll pay through the nose for any bells and whistles, and even an Elite doesn't get you Wifi (IIRC).
