Actually not that expensive

Actually, for an xbox 360 owner to get the same kind of hardware that's bundled with a PS3, the cost of a PS3 is actually lower.

For instance, a PS3 in UK is £425. With that you get console, blu-ray, wi-fi, rechargeable wireless controller, and (for now at least) free online gaming.

For an xbox 360 owner to get the same you need:

1. Console - £280

2. Wireless Adapter - £60

3. Play & Charge Kit - £16

4. Xbox Live Subscription - £40

5. HD-DVD Drive - £120

Total - £516

Not such a bad deal after all then...........
