My launch Xbox 360 cost me €308 with no games or hdd and a wired controller in 2005.

Memory card 256meg €25 (Couldn't afford a hdd at the time)
Wireless adaptor €120
20 gig hdd €130
Xbox live €60
Wireless controller €65

Total money spent €708

The xbox 360 was cheaper if you didn't plan to play online or have any desire to watch HD discs.


I paid $400 AUD for my Xbox 360 Core and used a Wired controller.
All I did was get a 20Gb HDD from Microsoft for $20 when HDD's started to become more important.
I don't use Wireless for gaming, who needs more latency?

Eventually I sold that console off and got myself the Halo 4 edition Xbox 360 Slim console, which had all the things. (Mostly did the upgrade from a power and reliability aspect and the console looked cool.)

So really, I paid $420 for the machine, which is in stark contrast to the PS3's $830 for the 20Gb models AUD price. (60Gb model was $1,000)

The Xbox 360 had more value on launch in my opinion.
