Re: Comparison Table

It doesn't point out that you can buy rechargeable batteries via USB for the 360, for about 20 quid.

Why does a slot win over a tray? In my years using slots and trays, I've seen far more scratches from slots.

PS3 may have blu-ray integrated, but does that make it better? Hardly, the HD-DVD/Blu-ray war hasn't exactly been decided. If blu-ray goes the way of beta, is the PS3 still better? Uh-uh. Sounds like Microsoft have done the right thing by their customers and offered the choice. If blu-ray becomes dominant, I see no reason why they couldn't then bring out a blu-ray player for the 360. If HD-DVD becomes dominant... PS3 owners are screwed. Goodo Microsoft!

Wireless networking card for 360 - 40 quid in the right places.

So you add on the bits and pieces that Microsoft have chosen to make optional (other than the HD-DVD player, which is still a sensible choice to keep separate while the war rages), and you still come out with a console cheaper than the PS3, with a huge number more games available, and a far superior online service.

Why the hell would anyone buy a PS3?

I mean, come on, seriously.
