This is probably the biggest issue here. This console is 8 years old! Same goes for PS3 as Sony actually increase the price of entry with the Super Slim. These consoles are way too expensive for their age. The more people that buy into these plans, the longer we will go without price drops. The late adopters are the ones who can potentially get screwed in the future.

the entry model is only $199 . Price drops have no relation to these subscription plans. If they did than why hasn't the ps3 droped more in price since it doesn't have a sub plan?

Because its more expensive to make and it has lost Sony billions.

about that 360 $199 model, it doesn't count. That's a barebones model. I wouldn't count that one like I wouldn't count that 12gb Super Slim PS3 that released in Europe.

Wow, clearly someone doesn't see there is a major difference between the 4GB Xbox and 12GB PS3.

The 360 doesn't have huge updates or required installs like PS3. You can also expand the storage space of the 360 with USB memory sticks (up to 64GB with two 32GB sticks). On the PS3 12GB, your only option for additional space is a HDD and that 12GB can be filled too easily.
