Everyone is entiltled to their own opinion.

@nanaki: You might have no need for these features but a whole lot of people do. Obviously MS thinks the same (in terms of wi-fi) that's why they sell the wi-fi peripheral. If MS thought everyone was like you they wouldn't have realeased that add-on.

At least with PS3 there is that option. Both sides covered.

Any reasonable person not blinded by any fanboyism looking for a first HD console (therefore not influenced by any exclusives) and has $299 to spend will no doubt consider the PS3 the best bang for his/her buck, especially with free online.

Other options like controller design, is it noisy, it wouldn't look good in my living room, netflix etc., is entirely up to the buyer and he/she can choose the x360.

Everything is up to buyer, which was precisely my point. And yes, everything I wrote was my opinion, it was written in my first post. But please, don´t use argument like "whole lot of people". I can say that too and we will be both right.

 

IMO, best solution for me would be PS3 without wi-fi, for example 40$ cheaper. If you ant wi-fi, buy console with it. Problem solved.

 

But still, most important factor arte games. Likes always.

Good reply. Wi-fi is now standard in almost any communication device.

Would you rather the next xbox720 - or whatever it will be called to be without wi-fi built-in but 40$ cheaper?

Yes, I agree the most important factor is games, but these consoles are being marketed as more than that.

Reading through these posts (from the entire site) some people actually make out services like netflix, online music, twitter, facebook etc., to be very important factors in deciding which console to purchase. Likewise the PS3 with blu-ray etc.,

While gaming is currently primary on these consoles other services will become just as important as MS and Sony try to dominant the living rooms of the world and they won't be looking to only attract people that just play games.
