This thread is pointless and lacks substance.

I agree. This just proves that MS is ripping people off. All of that stuff = the PS3, and it costs over 200 dollars more!!!!!!!

lol? Firstly I don't want WiFi. Secondly I don't want Blu-Ray (overrated IMO). Thirdly I got this years Gold for free with Halo 3. I don't need any of those things to play a game.

@jasonharris48 you need to get outside the box that is Gamespot, check kotaku and Destructoid there you will find information about the bluray add onboba707

YOur forgetting the mdoem and router for internet connection. Your house, electricity bills, the TV, the TV remote, the cables etc etc.

This is a failed logic

well what if the bluray adapter is used for gaming what are 360 owners going to do thenboba707

The title of this thread should bethehypothetical cost of the 360 (if you need Wifi and the BD accessory exists) would be....

300 for the xbox +
100 for wifi adapter +
100 blu-ray add-on +
50 for xbox live

Let's see...

There's an arcade model=$200.

Wi-Fi, pointless.

Blu Ray add-on, if it's decent, sure; but it's optional.

X-Box live, if you look hard enough, you can find & buy 12 month cards for much cheaper.

120 GB HDD, can get it for $100 used on Gamestop.

YOur forgetting the mdoem and router for internet connection. Your house, electricity bills, the TV, the TV remote, the cables etc etc.

This is a failed logic

HE IS COMPARING IT TO A PS3!!!!!!

The only one who has failed logic is you.

Well that might be true if you really want all those neat features, but it doesn't cost anywhere near that kind of price if all you really want to do is play games.

@garland people like to have a lot of space on their consoles some peoples set up doesnt allow them to have a wired connection so wifi is not pointless imo online services shouldnt cost anything kind of a stupid argument because you just said buy a 200$ model then spend 100$ more for a 120 HDD when you could just buy a 300$ system, newboba707

So now you are admitting this whole thread is hypothetical?

Oh TC speaking of add ons did you add the replacement hd for the ps3 because of all the installs your gonna be doing for the games you play?

I thought these threads died when the ps3 became the same price as the 360

You guys are missing the point!!!!!

What TC is showing is that if the 360 came out with all of the stuff that the PS3 does, then it would costs 200 dollars more than the PS3!!!

It proves that MS is ripping people off!!!!!

You guys are missing the point!!!

TC is comparing the 360 with all of that stuff. And it shows that the 360 with all of the stuff that the PS3can dowould cost 200 dollars more than the PS3 does.

It proves that MS is ripping people off!!!!!

The BD doesn't exist and not everyone needs Wifi. You are also implying all the extras the PS3 have are needed, when they aren't...

It can be argued that at least the 360 has choice. Some people don't need a harddrive so they can opt for the cheap arcade. Some people don't need WiFi, so they don't need the adapter. Whereas with PS3, even if you don't need or want some of the features you still have to pay the same price. Then again that argument was better before the PS3 pricecut
