Value for money, maybe. Price advantage ... how?

What's so hard to understand? Firstly, PS3 offers free online gaming. The price of Xbox Live online gaming for say, 5 years= 200-250 USD. That's quite a price advantage right there.

Secondly, to get a 360 with roughly the same features as a regular PS3 minus Blu Ray (which could be considered additional "value for money, maybe") you need to spend at least an additional 80 USD.

What's easy to understand is that it doesn't have a price advantage, the arcade is $100 cheaper.

All of what you said comes under value for money.

But wouldnt getting more for your money be considered a price advantage. 

I would think so, yes. But I probably lack the necessary fanboy perspective to understand how a product that forces me to spend additional money on online gaming, a hdd, w-lan and wireless controllers has a "price advantage".

It's like saying "that car without tires has a price advantage over that other one with tires".



"Well certainly with the Xbox 360, we had some challenges at the launch. Once we identified that we took control of it. We wanted to do it right by our customers. Our customers are very important to us." -Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb (10/2013). Note: RRoD was fixed with the Jasper-revision 3 years after the launch of 360
