[QUOTE="finalsquall76"]^ All in good time Xbox boys... all in good time! The tide will change soon. MS has failed to capture ps2 owners into their camp. The ps2 is still kicking the 360's ass. Sony is doing fine. Sony has 2 consoles and a handheld on the market? who else has that... no-one! So lap it up and mock all you like. because in a few yrs ps2 gamers convert to ps3 owners and then ps3 fans will be laughing at MS.. Not that the sony camp isn;t allready. RROD, unrealiable and HALO $UX A$$! D0013ER

Sounds like, "just wait" in entirely too many words.

If i wanted to "just wait" Id buy stocks. :lol:

XBL > PSN

 

And XBL Live is a mere 50 dollars a year!

People usually like to hold on to their console for "AT LEAST" 5 years if not more.

50 dollar x 5 years = 250 dollars.

With that kind of money, you can buy a wii. No charge for online, the last time I checked.

=================================

So that being said, when you total the "ACTUAL" cost of owning a 360 for 5 yrs (if it last that long. Lets not even talk about the MUST-HAVE warranty issue), you MUST include the $250 dollars into the total cost so it is in the range of $550 to $750

Elite is coming so $500+250 = 750.

Xbox core system is already out. $300+250 =  550
