If you assume the price of the PS4 Eye ($59.99) and a one-year sub to PS+($60), the cost for the Xbox One becomes $380.00.

In case you all missed it, the price of PS+ is $60.00 for the PS4.  In the E3 presentation, Sony mentioned for just $5.00 a month...etc.  5x12=60.


Sure, on Xbox One release date go to a gamestop with $380.00 + tax and get yourself a Xbox One.

I am sure I can get a PS4 with a $400.00 + tax and play offline as long as I want.

(Seriously don't try so hard)

Excuse me?

I put the packages on a roughly equal footing by eliminating the cost of Kinect and a 1 year Xbox Live subscription.  It wasn't really that hard.  Simple math, as  a matter of fact.

As I seem to recall the way PS3 fans put it back in the day:  "They're including things that the other guy makes you pay for."  Or something like that.

I never tried to suggest you could go to GameStop and get an Xbox One for $380.00.  For what Microsoft includes, you do end up getting a better value, if you intend to pick up the PS 4 Eye/Camera and a one year sub to PS+.  If not, I'm not going to sit here and attempt to suggest $399.99 is some how more expensive than $499.99.  But if you want to put the two consoles on equal footing in terms of what you get Day One, the Xbox One, if you par it down to what the PS4 comes with, is $20.00 cheaper (or conversely if you add those two items).

Even if you don't add both, the difference is onlyl $40.
