but it is incredibly misleading
I don't agree, despite some minor flaws IMO the overall message stands strong. The 360 includes many hidden costs. For example if you want to take advantage on the 360 most basic features, you'll gonna spend more cash on the 360.
XBox Core/Arcade ($279.99) + 20 GB harddrive ($89.99) + 2 years of XBox Live online play ($100) = 469 dollars, so more expensive than a 40 GB PS3 while providing far less impressive specs, no Blu-Ray drive (a major !!!!), worse raw performance, smaller harddrive, no Wi-Fi, worse ethernet/HDMI connection, cheaper higher latency lower bandwidth shared system RAM, etc.
