Why assume that everyone wants a blu-ray player? Not everyone even owns a HDTV!

I never knew Wal-Mart $100 gift cards were only valid for Playstation 3's.

Thank you for the enlightenment, kind sir.

It's not and you can't use the gift card at the time of purchase.

Well, he means the 100 Dollar card they give you for purchasing a PS3. Though I believe that deal has expired.

You can avoid tax if you buy online. And some stores offer free S&H too.

You can only avoid tax if you are buying from a retail that is not located in your state/country. So you wouldn't be able to buy it online from a chain store.

Also, tax is different in every state. So... go to Oregon to buy it.

If you want rumble, add another $55 for the DS3 and if you want HD, add some $20 for an HDMI cable for the average joe who won't know where to find cheaper cables of that type.

OK, well, I guess the cost is differant for everyone. See, I don't want Blu-Ray, and i don't need the WiFi, and my brother is paying for my XBL, which is for my birthday and Christmas presents for the past year. So, for me, the ps3 would be more.

PS3 is actually $100 off at Walmart. He's not making that up. But not everyone needs WiFi and a Blu-Ray. Therefor real cost of PS3 = $309 and real price of 360 = $319. Essentially the same thing proving once and for all that in PS3 vs. Xbox 360 discussions price should never be a factor.

OK...Now if only the PS3 was on par with the 360 in the GAMES department. You remember those, right? I know you cows finally got a decent on after a year and a half of "just wait", but one isn't enought.

The Arcade comes with a memory card for online play.
