PS3 vs. 360

$375 Pro 360 console, $100 wireless router, $200 HD DVD player, $60 XBOX live gold membership (monthly), $15 chargeable battery pack.

$750 for all that which you get out of the box for the PS3 only $400. And the PS3 has 20 extra GB of hard drive space. And on top of that every year you have to pay $60 more. But the 360 does come with Forza 2 and Ultimate Alliance.

I think you meant to say ethernet is "standard" on PS3. :)

@Bromz You can connect PS3 to the network wirelessly or connect it thru a cable. It comes with both options included.

Why is a wireless router needed? I don't have one. Why is an HD DVD player needed? I don't have one. :|

I don't understand why people always do this...

Never said it was needed. But to get all the perks that the PS3 gives you out of the box that is all the stuff you have to do and prices.

Exactly. The PS3 forces you to pay for all those things that you don't necessarily need.
